As expected, some Texas players are officially opting out of the Citrus Bowl on December 31st due to multiple reasons. Most of the time it's due to the simple fact that guys are trying to conserve their NFL Draft stock by not taking a chance on getting injured or having a poor performance in their final collegiate game.
Though that's understandable, there are a couple of last-minute additions to the team's defensive portion of the list that are somewhat "head scratchers".
