Texas is looking to redeem themselves after the horrendous year they had in 2021.
The team will be full of new faces as the Longhorns welcomed over 30 new scholarship players to a team that went 5-7 in 2021, but seemed to have the foundation of a squad capable of much more.
Players like Bijan Robinson and Xavier Worthy shined brightly on a team that struggled throughout the season. The staff is now ensuring that everyone is bought into the culture and what they are expecting from them. The offseason workouts provide players new and old a chance to stand out ahead of the spring.
Strength and conditioning coach Torre Becton is making sure all the players are reaching their maximum potential, especially freshman Justice Finkley who decided to enroll early.

Other freshmen or even cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau are expected to push for starting roles, or at the very worst contribute as a rotational player. Texas will likely have a slew of youngsters contending for major roles, and the ones getting a head start as early enrollees are in a prime situation to do so.
