Somewhat lost amongst the many big-time storylines from Texas football this offseason, Steve Sarkisian hired Brennan Marion from Pitt to take over as wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator.
Marion has hit the ground running since his arrival in Austin. His transfer portal additions Isaiah Neyor and Agiye Hall bring excellent talent and experience to a position in desperate need.
Neyor flashed his skillset to Texas fans in the spring game as he hauled in a 62-yard touchdown pass from Quinn Ewers.
The players have taken an early liking to Marion as well. Senior wide receiver Jordan Whittington spoke highly about his relationship with his new position coach.
“He’s like a really close friend, but also, when it’s time to coach, we respect him as a coach, because he has all this new-age stuff that he does to where it’s like we’re always learning something new every day.”
It is easy to see why Marion has been so successful. The energy he brings to practices stands out and he finds ways to get the best out of his players.
