Three Longhorns Wire authors rank their top returners on the defensive side of the ball.
Cami Griffin, Staff Writer
- Caden Sterns S – He’s one of the best safeties in the entire conference and will likely be a team captain this season, he just needs to stay healthy.
- Joseph Ossai LB – Texas has to get after the quarterback in Chris Ash’s new scheme, we got a glimpse of that with his three sacks and six tackles for loss against Utah.
- D’Shawn Jamison DB – Versatility. Jamison is expected to get more playing time this season, at both cornerback and as a kick returner.
Joe Robbins/Getty Images - Ta’Quon Graham DE – Texas had one of the worst defensive units in college football last season. If they want to win games in the trenches, they need to let Graham loose.
- Anthony Cook CB – Started four games last year, Tom Herman recently announced that Cook will be playing some at nickel this season.
