The slot position for the Texas Longhorns should receive a boost for Saturday’s home game against the TCU Horned Frogs with the expected availability of sophomore Jake Smith for the first time this season.
On Monday, head coach Tom Herman said that Smith practiced full speed on Sunday and will play against TCU this weekend as long as he doesn’t experience any setbacks this week.
Smith suffered the injury almost three weeks ago in preparation for the season opener against UTEP, but then experienced a setback last week when he was reportedly dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness.
