No. 10 – Landing five-star defensive end Alfred Collins
The defensive line was an area of struggle for Texas last season, only getting to the quarterback 27 times, sixth in the Big 12. The unit should be better in the 2020 season, thanks to Tom Herman landing 2020 five-star defensive end Alfred Collins.
Choosing the Longhorns over Alabama and Oklahoma, Collins will bring in much-needed reinforcements to the pass rush. With Joseph Ossai transitioning to the jack position, he and Collins should create a deadly one-two punch in the Big 12.
Coming in at 6-5 and 284 pounds, Collins will make an instant impact for Texas. To push towards another Big 12 Championship, the defensive line must improve. Collins will provide that for the Longhorns next season.
