Going into the 2020 football season, LonghornsWire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas roster.
Over the summer, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Tom Herman this season.
Today, we will be looking at sophomore defensive back Chris Adimora.
Chris Adimora, Defensive Back
Height: 6-1 / Weight: 212
Class: Sophomore
Hometown: Lakewood, California
High School: Mayfair
HS ranking (247Sports): Four-star / No. 192 overall / No. 17 position / No. 24 in-state
HS ranking (Rivals): Four-star / No. 154 overall / No. 14 position / No. 24 in-state
Analysis: Going into the 2019 season, there was speculation that Adimora was going to take a redshirt season and only play in four games. He impressed everyone in practice throughout the year that he was able to play in all 13 games.
Playing on both sides of the ball in high school, Adimora has developed great hands from his days as a wide receiver. Possibly playing some nickel back this season, he could find himself snagging an interception or two.
If Tom Herman and Chris Ash want to use him at free safety, Adimora can use his range and athleticism to fly across the field. The possibilities with Adimora are endless and it makes him a valuable asset to the Longhorn secondary. If any problems arise via injury for Texas this season, Adimora will be a suitable replacement.
