Texas Football: Players that are standing out so far in spring ball

These Longhorns have earned the respect of their teammates early on during spring ball.

With college football seeming so close yet so far away, Texas fans are eager to see their beloved Longhorns on the field again in an improved fashion.

The first season under Steve Sarkisian in 2021 did not go nearly as well as many had hoped. Fans were expecting a possible Big 12 Championship appearance and/or a New Year’s six bowl game, but saw neither. Texas finished the season 5-7 and find themselves in a situation similar to years prior, waiting to see some improvement.

On the bright side, Sarkisian and his staff (some new) spared no expense this offseason when it came to adding more talent via recruiting or the transfer portal.

The Longhorns were able to bring in the No. 5 recruiting class complimented by a top 10 transfer class.

The new faces headlined by Ohio State quarterback transfer Quinn Ewers have Texas fans chomping at the bit to see the new look Longhorns suit up. While they have just started putting the pads on as recent as this last week, some players are still standing out among others.

Here are a few players who have been standing out according to 247Sports’ Chip Brown (exclusive content).
