Howard Jr. Drama Rocks Texas Football | Texas Longhorns Football News
from Texas Longhorns Football Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Texas Longhorns’ preseason is already in chaos after a freshman cornerback’s dad went viral for threatening to “expose” the program over his son’s lack of snaps — despite Hayward Howard Jr. being a four-star recruit and high school state champ. The dad, a former player himself, blamed “political games” for holding his son back, but coaches are sticking to standard protocols for freshmen. The drama erupted right after a scrimmage where Howard Jr. didn’t play with the starters — and just a day after the team let go of a veteran linebacker. Coach Sarkisian’s ignoring the noise while calling the team’s performance “too sloppy.” Experts say this kind of parental meltdown only hurts the player’s chances — Howard Jr. still has a bright future, but he’ll need to earn his spot on the field.
