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 freshman offensive tackle Andrej Karic.
Andrej Karic, Offensive tackle
Height: 6-4 / Weight: 294
Class: Freshman
Hometown: Southlake, Texas
High School: Southlake Carrol
HS ranking (247Sports): Four-star / No. 21 position / No. 36 in-state
HS ranking (Rivals): Three-star / No. 38 position / No. 49 in-state
Analysis: A member of the 2020 recruiting class, Andrej Karic is another Texas recruit from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Playing offensive tackle in high school, Karic is going to be a project for offensive line coach Herb Hand.
Gabe Brooks of 247Sports has compared him to former Texas left tackle Connor Williams. Hand developed Williams into a second-round NFL Draft pick as in now a key member of the Dallas Cowboys’ rotation. If Karic can become similar to Williams, it would a successful project for Hand.
Karic is also a former teammate of 2022 Texas commit Quinn Ewers. The two combined to take Southlake Carrol to the 6A-DI quarterfinals. Hopefully, by the time Ewers is on campus, Karic will be protecting him at the tackle position.
