Nearly half of the 28-man Texas freshman class could play Saturday night at Notre Dame, including four starters.
When Charlie Strong kicks off his second season at Texas on Saturday night in South Bend he’ll lean heavily on his first full recruiting class with the Longhorns.
Strong released his depth chart on Monday and it included nine true freshmen. Four were put in starting positions with another five listed in prominent roles.
Strong is confident his young players are ready for primetime.
“There’s an old saying where freshmen just want to play, sophomores want to start, juniors want to win and seniors are worrying about, you know, their career after football,” Strong said.
