With the 2022 NFL draft approaching, and Texas having just a couple players with a chance of being drafted, it is the perfect time to look at the current roster and identify future draft picks.
The Longhorns struggled greatly in the first season under Steve Sarkisian, and while the blame can be passed around to practically everyone, Texas just did not have a good year. There were only two bright spots on the season, with both Xavier Worthy and Bijan Robinson doing their best to carry the team.
Looking at the roster for the 2022 season, the staff has added a ton of talent all over the board that will likely boost the stock of some players, or in the case of a couple of the transfers, give themselves a bigger platform to go to the NFL.
As it sits right now, Texas has two players in Robinson and linebacker DeMarvion Overhsown that are a lock to be drafted in 2023, but that does not mean some of these other players aren’t on the radar.
Let’s take a look at the players who have a prime opportunity to increase their draft stock in 2022. Honorable mentions are Anthony Cook, Alfred Collins, Jahleel Billingsley.
