We have gotten to the point with Texas football where there is so much depth across the offensive line that a player who started all season in 2022 has now lost his spot to a former five-star.
When speaking to the media on Thursday, head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed that former five-star DJ Campbell will get the starting nod at right guard against Rice.
Campbell beat out Cole Hutson, who benefited from enrolling early a year ago and was able to claim the starting spot. Hutson started all 13 games this past season and proved to be a very solid piece on the line.

The Longhorns are viewed as having one of the best offensive lines in the country, and while Hutson did lose the starting role, you can expect him to still get significant snaps.
Campbell will make his first career start against Rice on Sept. 2.
