Report: Texas safety B.J. Foster was with team in lifting session

According to a report form 247Sports’ Chip Brown, Texas safety B.J. Foster was with the team after he allegedly quit in Saturday’s game.

The wild Sunday following the 59-3 victory over UTEP continues. Earlier in the day Anwar Richardson of Rivals reported that Texas safety B.J. Foster quit on the team during the third quarter of Saturday’s game. He noted that Foster was upset about a lack of playing time in the game. During the blowout opening game, Foster played a total of eight snaps according to Pro Football Focus.

Foster was listed behind Chris Brown on the opening week depth chart that was released by the Longhorns. Jerrin Thompson and Tyler Owens would play more snaps than Foster and it probably didn’t set well with him. Chip Brown of 247Sports is reporting that Foster took part in the lifting session at 12 pm on Sunday.

This situation feels eerily similar to the one early this offseason with Anthony Cook. He left the team and entered into the transfer portal before cooler heads prevailed and he returned to the team. Cook as you know was listed behind Chris Adimora at the spur position.

As this wild situation continues, Longhorns Wire will keep you posted.

Texas defensive back to undergo shoulder surgery, miss spring practice

Texas defensive back B.J. Foster will undergo shoulder surgery that will cause him to miss spring practice.

Texas defensive back B.J. Foster has been battling a nagging shoulder injury for several months now.

Foster was favoring his left shoulder heavily throughout the 2019 season, missing games against Rice, Oklahoma State, and TCU. He also missed time due to shoulder evaluations in the medical tent against West Virginia and Oklahoma. Even when Foster was present on the field, he sported a heavy shoulder brace and was playing less than 100 percent.

Head coach Tom Herman announced yesterday that Foster would be undergoing surgery on that same shoulder, as it appears the nerve has finally calmed down enough to have a successful rehab.

Foster’s best game in 2019 came against LSU, where he recorded 8 total tackles and one tackle for loss.  In 2018, Foster was the No. 1 overall player in the state of Texas according to ESPN. As a true freshman, he compiled 46 tackles, one interception, two forced fumbles and five passes broken up.

The promising defensive back will miss spring football practice, but is expected to return for summer conditioning.
