Texas’ early enrollees are looking the part early on in spring practice.
Five-star quarterback and the nation’s top prospect Arch Manning is throwing the ball around well, working with the twos. Starting right tackle, Christian Jones raved about Manning’s football IQ and arm strength.
Freshman wideout Johntay Cook is another player standing out so far. Cook is a crisp route runner capable of creating separation. With Savion Red moving to running back and Brenen Thompson running track, Cook is getting a fair share of reps.
Running back Cedric Baxter is ready to help fill the void left by Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson in the Texas backfield. He is going to have a significant role in the Longhorns’ running game.
On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Anthony Hill was a player mentioned by Jaylan Ford as a solid-looking freshman. Hill is uber-athletic capable of making plays on the football from sideline to sideline.
The handshake game between Arch Manning and Johntay Cook II is already very strong. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/JFGJ6iuvn1
