The Texas defense is about to learn its third defensive scheme in as many seasons. Todd Orlando and his odd-man front was replaced by Chris Ash s 4-2-5 system before the 2020 season.
Steve Sarkisian replaced Ash in January with Washington s Pete Kwiatkowski, who utilizes a three- and four-man front in his defensive philosophy, sometimes even deploying a 2-4-5 with four linebackers.
Luckily for Kwiatkowski, he inherits some young, talented linebackers alongside a tandem of returning starters.

FYI: Four-stars, from Arp; ranked 52nd nationally, No. 6-ranked safety in 2018
Overshown was an oversized safety from a Class 2A school in East Texas. He was an Under Armour All-American who signed in the same class as fellow safeties Caden Sterns and BJ Foster. The trio arrived with much fanfare, but it took Overshown until his third year to find a home at linebacker.

At no time in recent Texas Longhorns history has a depth chart changed so much between the end of the regular season and the bowl game, but this obviously isn’t a normal season.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the last few days have produced several more developments that will impact the depth chart when the No. 20 Longhorns take the field in San Antonio on Tuesday evening against the Colorado Buffaloes. With junior running back Keaontay Ingram expected to miss a fourth straight game due to the high ankle sprain that he suffered against Oklahoma State, he’s been removed from the depth chart.
