Steve Sarkisian met with the media on Tuesday following the Longhorns’ morning practice.
The third-year Texas head coach provided some updates about where his team stands about halfway through spring practice.
Sarkisian had praise for a few players stepping up from a leadership capacity. He highlighted Jordan Whittington, Quinn Ewers, Ja’Tavion Sanders, Jerrin Thompson, Byron Murphy and Barryn Sorrell as growing leaders in the program.
The Texas staff feels confident about its depth at cornerback. With Ryan Watts as a returning starter coming back, Sarkisian mentioned a few names competing well across from Watts.
Sarkisian complemented the running back room for their efforts in Texas’ most recent scrimmage.
Kitan Crawford was singled out again as a standout in practice. Crawford’s emergence is becoming a common theme this Spring. With Arkansas transfer Jalen Catalon still sidelined with an injury, Crawford is making the most of his extra reps.
Here is a look at everything Steve Sarkisian said as Texas continues its preparation in spring ball.
