Antwuan Davis to fill in at nickel back for injured Texas starter PJ Locke III

Related Topics: Nickelback

For the first time in more than two years, Texas Longhorns senior Antwuan Davis will receive a start on Saturday for the ‘Horns with junior nickel back PJ Locke III out with an ankle injury sustained against the Baylor Bears.

In 2015, the former US Army All-American started the first five games of season until he was displaced by the talented group of freshmen cornerbacks. Since then, he’s moved between cornerback, safety, and the nickel back position, spending his most notable time this season as a valuable asset on punt coverage as a gunner.
