The Texas Longhorns are roughly two thirds through spring practice as the Orange-White game looms less than two weeks away. On Tuesday, new coach Steve Sarkisian met with reporters via Zoom and shared some of his most extensive comments to date about the quarterback situation that features junior Casey Thompson and redshirt freshman Hudson Card competing for the starting job.
On Saturday, the Longhorns went through the first scrimmage under Sarkisian and his coaching staff, providing one of the first big chances to evaluate their development.

Perhaps the most underwhelming position for the Texas Longhorns over the past decade has been at the wide receiver group. Since 2010, only four wideouts have been drafted and that includes Collin Johnson and Devin Duvernay, both of whom were taken in the 2020 NFL Draft.
But that could all change under new head coach Steve Sarkisian, who oversaw DeVonta Smith becoming the first wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy since Desmond Howard in 1991.
While it would be a tall tale to expect that out of the Sarkisian era Longhorns right out of the gate, you can expect to see a jump in production at receiver under Texas’ new head coach.
