Texas will hold their annual Orange-White game on Saturday, April 24.
It’s a great opportunity for fans to witness how certain players will be utilized under the new coaching staff. On top of that, an intense quarterback battle will be showcased for the first time in four years.
When speaking to the media between spring practices, first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian has mentioned numerous players that have consistently caught his eye. Jordan Whittington, Ray Thornton, Josh Thompson, Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson and D’Shawn Jamison among a few others appear to have solidified their roles and proven what they’re capable of over the last few weeks.
However, there’s still a lot of uncertainty on the roster.
For example, the Longhorns are clearly in need of a big-play threat down field. Who is going to step up in that role? How reliable is the depth at linebacker? There’s several close position battles on both sides of the ball that will hopefully receive some clarity after the spring game.
Take a look at our list of which players could benefit most from a productive showing on Saturday.
