A year does make a difference.
Entering the 2024 season, the only returning receiver for the Texas Longhorns with a career catch was Johntay Cook after Xavier Worthy, AD Mitchell, and Jordan Whittington were all selected in the NFL Draft.
So while position coach Chris Jackson once again lost three receivers heading into this offseason, the wide receiver corps is much more stable heading into the 2025 campaign, obviating the need to make extensive additions from the portal thanks to impressive seasons from DeAndre Moore Jr. and Ryan Wingo, who combined for 928 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 68 catches in 2024.
