It’s no secret that Texas will be relying on several true freshmen to step up this upcoming season.
Second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian hauled in the No. 5 recruiting class in the country for the 2022 cycle. When you couple that with the fact that numerous players from Tom Herman’s regime entered the transfer portal this offseason, it provides more opportunities for freshmen to step into starting roles all over the field.
The primary position group to watch in regards to the incoming freshmen class is the offensive line. Kyle Flood landed arguably the top offensive line haul in school history, headlined by five-stars Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell.
The talented offensive linemen have not arrived to campus yet, therefore Flood will be tasked with grooming and developing this young group quickly prior to the 2022 season.
Four Longhorns were included on 247Sports’ top freshmen who matter list for the 2022 season. Three were offensive linemen, while one is on the defensive side.
