Editor's note: This is the fourth of a five-part series examining potential breakout players for the Texas Longhorns this spring.

Spring camp is well underway for the Longhorns, and with that comes the opportunity for players who are new, may be flying under the radar or aren't yet well known to make a name for themselves.

Here is another potential breakout candidate for Texas this spring:

Joseph Ossai

Year: Sophomore
Position: LB
2018 stats: 20 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble

The Longhorns have produced some real studs at linebacker in recent years, such as Malik Jefferson, Gary Johnson and even Jordan Hicks, and Joseph Ossai could be the next budding playmaker at the position.
