Texas football: Six impact newcomers for 2022

Texas’ talented group of newcomers look to help the Longhorns get over the hump.

This offseason has been one of the craziest in college football history. Between the coaching carousel and the transfer portal, teams all over the country will look much different next season.

Texas was able to keep some key players along with adding many sought-after newcomers to the program.

Defensive starters DeMarvion Overshown, D’Shawn Jamison and Keondre Coburn decided to come back for one last season in Austin.
