just now: Texas longhorns boss confirm a key player in…

Texas needs to figure out how to improve its passing game in 2023, while there are a lot of moving pieces involved.

Bijan Robinson was the Longhorns’ go-to guy last season when passes weren’t being caught. Not that the 2023 running back group isn’t talented enough to score, but it will be difficult to overlook Robinson’s departure as a legendary player.

After such an amazing rookie campaign, wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s sophomore campaign may have left some fans feeling let down. In 12 games as a rookie, Worthy caught 12 touchdowns and amassed 981 receiving yards. In 13 games in 2022, Worthy had 760 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Although such figures aren’t horrible, many anticipated

Deserving of a breakthrough year.

Worthy did show off his quickness and agility on occasion during the season, but Texas might require more from him this time around.

Quinn Ewers’s offseason growth will undoubtedly be essential to enhancing the passing game in the meantime. There were glimmers of Ewers playing at full capacity, and if he can settle in, Texas might advance to new heights. Ewers showed signs of maturity in Texas’ Alamo Bowl loss to Washington, following a string of difficult games in the second half of the season.

Following the Alamo Bowl, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian stated, “I think he’s represented the University of Texas well.” And I believe I’ve saw him develop. Even though Texas signed a number of gifted freshmen who could have an immediate effect on the field, Ewers and Worthy will still be in the lead. It will be crucial for Texas’ offensive to be in a position where it can be more adaptable than ever since the 2023 season may serve as a barometer for how things will work out as Texas gets ready to join the SEC.
