Offensive lineman Samuel Cosmi forgoes 2020 NFL draft, returns to Texas

The Longhorns left tackle has announced his decision to forgo the 2020 NFL Draft and return to Texas.

Although draft-eligible as a redshirt sophomore, Texas left tackle Samuel Cosmi has officially announced his decision to return for the 2020 season.

Cosmi has been a versatile lineman for the Longhorns, starting 13 games at right tackle as a redshirt freshman and most notably 12 starts this season at left tackle.

Earning a second-team All-Big 12 selection as a sophomore, Cosmi requested feedback from the NFL’s College Advisory Committee to determine a draft grade projection for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Whether Cosmi simply wants to fulfill a dream of earning his degree from the University of Texas or was unhappy with his current draft grade, the Longhorns are fortunate to have an indispensable piece of their offensive line returning.
