Texas’ star X receiver, the 6’6, 220-pound Collin Johnson, has spent has spent his spring recovering from an offseason knee surgery, but in his place, the Horns have simply plugged in an even more imposing presence — 6’6, 245-pound Malcolm Epps.
But Epps has been more than a mere big body filling in for a sitting starter. He’s blossoming into a big-play threat throughout his first spring on the Forty Acres.
“He probably had the most big plays of the receiving group,” Tom Herman said of Epps following Texas’ scrimmage on Saturday, per Inside Texas’ Joe Cook.
