Texas defensive lineman Keondre Coburn was the ultimate teammate, wingman and hype man at the Big 12 media day as he had nothing but great things to say about his squad.
Coburn has always been known for being a quote machine when it comes to supporting his teammates. He did just that on Thursday in reference to one of Texas’ new wide receivers.
Steve Sarkisian swayed four-star wide receiver Xavier Worthy to the Forty Acres after he had already signed his national letter of intent with Michigan.
The speedy wide receiver requested his release from Michigan on April 15, and Sarkisian wasted no time in offering him a scholarship that day. Worthy committed to Texas roughly a week later, and Sarkisian added the fastest wide receiver in high school to an already solid 2021 recruiting class.

Worthy has reportedly been getting rave reviews throughout team practices and is expected to be a difference-maker this season. Coburn wasted no time complimenting the speedy receiver at Big 12 media day on Thursday.
He compared Worthy to one of the fastest players in the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, otherwise known as the cheetah.

Having Worthy and Kelvontay Dixon’s speed at his disposal, Sarkisian will have a field day beating teams vertically and getting these two in space. The Longhorns offense will have a much more explosive vibe in comparison to Tom Herman’s lackluster offense.
