Texas football returns the bulk of its starters from last year’s squad this fall. Texas returns 17 starters from last year’s squad. And even in the spots where Texas doesn’t return starters (i.e., defensive tackle, field corner, and jack), there is a good argument that the depth and talent are much more prevalent in those position rooms than last year.
Where the Longhorns do lose some valuable depth and experience is among the senior leaders that departed for the NFL Draft this offseason. Running backs Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson were important leaders on offense for the Longhorns.
