The Texas Longhorns develop players now. Move linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and running back Roschon Johnson to the top of the list of developed players.
As most would know, Overshown was converted from safety to linebacker in his time at Texas. His coverage skills paired with his hitting ability make him a complete outside linebacker. He enjoyed a good first outing for the Dallas Cowboys will a big money down stop of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Roschon Johnson displayed his tackle breaking ability on Saturday. The now Chicago Bears running back broke several tackles on his way to a chunk play.
Both players converted from one position to another in college. Each went on to leave his own mark on the program in their time in Austin. Here’s a look at highlights from the two players’ important preseason showcase.
