Throughout the 2019 college football season, it was clear that the duo of Devin Duvernay and Collin Johnson were a talented duo at wide receiver. Unfortunately for the Texas Longhorns they were both dealing with injuries this year, Johnson lost half of his games during the year but both were in uniform for their 38-10 thrashing of the Utah Utes in San Antonio.
The Longhorns duo will now focus on life after Austin as they will embark on the journey to make a name for themselves in the NFL. The Reese’s Senior Bowl week get’s started on Monday January 20th. There will be a whole week where they will get to work with NFL coaches plus meetings with NFL teams as they prepare for the biggest job interview of the offseason.

The Longhorns will now look to Brennan Eagles and Jake Smith to fill the void left by Johnson and Duvernay after four years on the Forty Acres. The 6’4″ Eagles took on a much larger role in 2019 due to Johnson’s injuries with 32 receptions for 522 yards and six touchdowns. He will look to be the focal point at receiver next season. Freshman Jake Smith who also finished with six receiving touchdowns. The offense looks to be in good hands with the young duo who look to replace 1,945 yards and 12 touchdowns from this offense.
