When the curtain closed on the 2018 campaign, it marked the end of eligibility for more than half of the Texas Longhorns’ starting cast. Save for Sam Ehlinger returning to his role at quarterback, the Longhorns replace at least one starter — in most cases, multiple — at literally every level on each side of the ball. Included in this bunch are both of the starting Texas cornerbacks in Davante Davis and Kris Boyd, the latter of whom ended his college career as a first-team All-Big 12 selection.
It appears that sophomore Jalen Green and redshirt sophomore Kobe Boyce will battle it out to fill the void Davis left behind as the field corner, but Boyd’s shoes will be a bit more difficult to fill given the skill set and responsibilities required from a boundary corner.
