Of the seven players elected as team captains for the Texas Longhorns prior to the 2020 season, the only healthy players who plan to participate in the bowl game are senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger and junior Jack Joseph Ossai after senior defensive tackle Ta’Quon Graham opted out on Saturday to start early preparations for the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine.
“With the regular season officially over, I feel it’s time to say my goodbyes and start to prepare for the Senior Bowl and the NFL combine as the next steps in fulfilling my dream of playing in the NFL,” Graham said in a statement released by the school.
