Texas edge rusher Barryn Sorrell is returning for another season. The news comes a day after veteran center Jake Majors announced his return to Austin.
We expected Sorrell to come back, but the decision wasn’t as much a no-brainer decision as we anticipated. In the end, Sorrell came around to the notion that returning for another season on the Forty Acres was in his best interest.
Sorrell has the ability to play on Sundays. He flashed that ability for the first time last season compiling 5.5 sacks, 44 tackles and a forced fumble.
His 2023 campaign wasn’t as prolific perhaps in part due to the talent around him and the added attention that comes with being a proven commodity. Even so, the skilled edge rusher put up 4 sacks for the year.
Heading into the Texas offseason we noted that the edge position could be a strength of the defense. Sorrell was at the forefront of that contention after a production two seasons on the Forty Acres. His experience should garner more respect from the team as he leads his position group in 2024.
Lets do what they said we couldn’t do, AGAIN!
