Texas Football: The 3 Players Who Need to Impress RIGHT NOW | Steve Sarkisian

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel spotlight three Longhorns who need a strong performance in Texas’ second scrimmage, beginning with freshman linebacker Tyler Atkinson. After flashing in the first scrimmage, can the five-star defender prove it was no fluke and earn the coaching staff’s trust? The guys also examine Dylan Sikorski’s opportunity at left guard and why his pass protection could determine his place in the offensive-line rotation. The discussion then turns to athletic tight end Nick Townsend, who must make his case for a larger role behind Michael Masunas and force Steve Sarkisian to use more 12 personnel. With the second scrimmage serving as Texas’ dress rehearsal, this could be the final major opportunity for Atkinson, Sikorski and Townsend to change the depth chart before the Longhorns begin preparing for the season opener.
