It did not take long for the COVID-19 pandemic to have its way with spring practice for newly hired head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Texas football program. On March 24, Texas had to put spring ball on pause thanks to reported (per Horns247, paid content) COVID-19 positive tests. Specifically, Texas reportedly had positive tests stemming from the running back and defensive line rooms.
Sark and the Longhorns still went through coach meetings and conditioning on March 24 and 25. But a lot of contact drills during spring camp had to be put on pause to undergo further testing and contact tracing.
