We close out the defensive side of the ball with a look at the Texas Longhorns’ defensive backs. So far, we’ve covered running backs, linebackers, the offensive line, the defensive line. and the wide receivers/tight ends.
We know the 2019 Longhorns could deploy multiple packages on defense that may include anywhere from four to eight defensive backs. For now, we’ll consider the nickel and dime packages that deploy five to six defensive backs.
Note: Some defensive back positions/players could be fluid depending on how a player develops and where there is need/opportunity.
