Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor is back, and he’s attacking 2023 with a vengeance. The talented wideout once viewed as the piece to put last year’s offense over the top appears to be working his way back to form.
Paul Wadlington and former Texas Longhorns pitcher Randy Boone discussed what Neyor brings to the current squad. Boone led off the conversation.
“I think (Isaiah Neyor) changes the offense more than most people think.”
Neyor does change the offense. The most valuable way probably involves providing quarterback Quinn Ewers a downfield threat with consistent hands and good tracking ability. Put simply, the former Wyoming transfer who once averaged 20 yards per reception and caught 15 touchdown passes is going to put the Longhorns in the end zone.
Paul Wadlington went on to discuss Texas’ loaded receiver room.
“If you can roll Neyor, (AD) Mitchell, (Jordan) Whittington, (Xavier) Worthy in basically a constant rotation. You know, throw Johntay Cook in there, DeAndre Moore. And you just keep wearing on people … it’s exciting to think about the weapons.”
The team has an embarrassment of riches at receiver. Having two players like AD Mitchell and Isaiah Neyor with similar frame and skillset makes Texas exciting to watch in 2023. It should translate to better offensive play on the field.
