The Texas Longhorns linebacking corps is in an interesting state of flux heading into spring practice.
The Texas linebacker room graduates the team’s two leading tacklers in Gary Johnson and Anthony Wheeler, who combined for 177 total tackles, 25 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks in 2018. But it’s not just the statistical leadership that the Longhorns lost; it’s two dependable forces in the middle that knew their roles and could lead the defense on every play.
But like most of the spots where Texas needs to find replacements, the level of talent in the group could make the transition smoother than expected.
