If you’re looking for substance to latch onto with the 2023 Texas football team look no further than the offensive line. For the first time in recent memory the team can count on reliable play up front.
Grant Hughes of 247Sports took notice of the unit ranking the Longhorns in the Top 10 of his best offensive line groups in the nation. The ranking is believable given what the team returns.
Veteran center Jake Majors and right tackle Christian Jones made significant strides last season. After struggling through their first few seasons in Austin, both players were dependable and at times excellent up front.
The team had several calf-sized linemen that you can expect will develop into full grown Longhorns. Left tackle Kelvin Banks was not one of those players as he looked like a man among boys even as a freshman.
Hayden Conner and Cole Hutson played well for the team at guard rounding out one of the best pass blocking units in the country last season. All five starters return for the team.
Here’s a look at Hughes’ top offensive lines in college football.
