Already this season 12 true freshmen have not only played but seen extensive playing time on the field for the No. 6 Texas football team. From Caden Sterns and BJ Foster’s steady presence on defense, with Keontay Ingram and Joshua Moore making impacts on offense, and the man making game-winning kicks Cameron Dicker (The Kicker), the Horns are setting themselves up for a strong surge through the second half of the season.
The other youngsters playing beyond their years are punter Ryan Bujcevski, DB Anthony Cook, WR Brennan Eagles, DB Jalen Green, WR/DB/Returner D’ShawnJamison, LB Joseph Ossai and DB Demarvion Overshown.
