Continuity is the word of the offseason for the Texas Longhorns football program following spring ball. It’s a feature that Texas has lacked on the Forty Acres in recent memory.
Several players and coaches have contributed to the team for as many as three seasons. That has meant three years of consistent messaging for players like Jaylan Ford with linebacker coach Jeff Choate or Christian Jones with offensive line coach Kyle Flood. The development is evident.
In addition to development, Texas returns much of the production it had in 2022. As we noted yesterday, the Longhorns are No. 19 in the country in returning production. In that production are multiple starters who are dependable performers. For that reason, we know more of what to expect from the team in 2023.
Here’s a look at where ESPN’s Bill Connelly ranked teams in most proven returning talent in the Big 12 in February.
