With two regular season games remaining, the Texas Longhorns program has demonstrated an early command of and plan for taking advantage of the new redshirt rules that allow players to participate in four games without losing eligibility.
On Monday, head coach Tom Herman noted that senior wide receiver John Burt and senior defensive lineman Jamari Chisholm will both return next season. However, those aren’t the only non-freshmen set to benefit from a season of development, as four other players are currently on track to redshirt this season — junior quarterback Shane Buechele, junior running back Kyle Porter, sophomore running back Toneil Carter, and junior offensive lineman Denzel Okafor.
