WATCH: Texas football is putting in work during fall camp

A glimpse of Texas’ effort throughout fall camp.

The season is just around the corner, and the Texas football team is looking to change the narrative around the program.

The Longhorns thought success would follow after the 2019 Sugar Bowl win over Georgia, but Texas quickly slid back to its mediocre habits and was unable to replicate the success.

There is a new sheriff in town calling the shots, as Steve Sarkisian is fresh off a championship with Alabama and is looking to bring that type of success to Austin.

He and his staff have been implementing the “All Gas No Brakes” mantra since the moment they stepped on the campus, and the team has been very receptive and seems to be working harder than ever.

Starting spots are up for grabs, and opportunities that could change the trajectory of careers are in the balance. Texas’ social media department recently released a hype video of the Sarkisian’s squad putting in work to get ready for the season.

The program and fan base are expecting a solid season from this team, and there will likely be no passes given, regardless of all the changing parts. Texas will be tested Week 1 against Louisiana, and that game will be indicative of the new era.

Five key non-starters for Texas football this season

Five key Texas football players that may not have a starting role this season, but will be relied on heavily.

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian inherited an extremely talented roster in Austin that has often been misused and underachieved by program standards.

On Sunday, the team practiced in the stadium after dark to give the newly turfed Campbell-Williams Field a test run. Media members were able to track the order in which players were getting reps.

Something that many people disregard is that reserve/depth players are critical to a teams success and oftentimes provide a needed spark or big play off the bench. Just look at Casey Thompson in the Alamo Bowl.

The Longhorns added plenty of young talent in their 2020 recruiting class, while also gaining the services of several talented transfers that just need an opportunity to shine. It’s resulted in numerous position battles on both sides of the ball, but there’s only so many starting roles available.

With the season starting in exactly 25 days, the starting roles for Texas will begin to be solidified over the next two weeks. Here is a look at five depth players who may not secure a starting role, but will still be key contributors for the Longhorns this year.
