Much like the defensive line in front of them, the Texas Longhorns linebackers will have a new look in 2024.

Not only will the unit feature a new coach, with Johnny Nansen coming to Texas from the Arizona Wildcats replace Nevada’s new head coach Jeff Choate, but it is also replacing one of the most productive linebackers in school history.
