John Bonney has all but solidified the nickel back job. Now the redshirt freshman is seeing time at a corner position.
The Longhorns have extremely high hopes for this quiet, humble playmaker.
It takes a special kind of talent to play the nickel in any defense, and especially a defense that has to go up against these talented Big 12 offenses. And that’s exactly where you can expect Bonney to play this season.
It was a bit of a surprise to see him at left corner to open practice on Friday, but that just goes to show how versatile he is.
