There have already been modifications to the Texas secondary in efforts to get the best players on the field.
Third-year defensive back and former four-star prospect, Kitan Crawford, will be making the switch from corner to safety this upcoming season. This was first reported by Inside Texas’ Bobby Burton and Justin Wells during their most recent episode of “On Texas Football.”
Not only does this get Crawford on the field, but it helps solidify the safety position which was viewed as a major issue after the departures of both B.J. Foster (transfer) and Brenden Schooler. This also clears up one more person from the position battle that will be had at the cornerback positions, as there are now about five contenders vying for two spots.
The Longhorns will still have D’Shawn Jamison, Ryan Watts, Jahdae Barron, Terrance Brooks, and Jaylon Guilbeau duking it out for the starting corner spots.
Crawford’s top tier athleticism will certainly help him thrive in his new role, and helps Texas at a position of need.
