Texas Longhorns College Football Preview 2021: Top Players
Best Texas Longhorns Offensive Player
RB Bijan Robinson, Soph.
It’s time to turn the superstar loose. He’ll still be part of a rotation with the terrific Roschon Johnson, but the 6-0, 215-pound Robinson will be to Steve Sarkisian’s offense what Najee Harris was to the Crimson Tide last year.
Robinson got in plenty of work early on as he eased into the job as a true freshman, and then came November and … boom.
He ripped off three 100-yard games in the final four, hut Kansas State for 172 yards and three touchdowns on just nine carries, and he rolled through Colorado for 183 yards and a score on just ten rushes in the Alamo Bowl.

3. RB Roschon Johnson, Jr.
4. QB Casey Thompson, Jr.
5. OT Christian Jones, Jr.

Best Texas Longhorns Defensive Player
LB DeMarvion Overshown, Sr.
A tall, rangy 6-4, 217 linebacker who rose up and got all over the field to do a little bit of everything last season. He made 19 tackles with two sacks and seven tackles for loss in his first two years as a safety, and then he blew up after taking his talents to linebacker.
Speedy and tough on the weakside, he made 60 stops with a sacks, eight tackles for loss and two picks with seven broken up passes, highlighted by his 11-tackle, one interception game against Oklahoma. He’ll have more size around him to be able to roam free.
2. DT Keondre Coburn, Jr.
3. CB D’Shawn Jamison, Sr.
4. DT Moro Ojomo, Jr.
5. CB Josh Thompson, Sr.
Top Incoming Texas Longhorns Transfer
LB Ben Davis, Sr.
At the very least, the expectations are for the former five-star superstar get for Alabama to blow up with the move to the Longhorns. He didn’t do much for the Tide with just seven tackles and a sack in his two years, but with his size and athleticism he’s exactly what the linebacking corps needs.
