Longhorn Headlines: Swoopes Grabs the Lead

Tyrone Swoopes has all of Longhorn Nation watching him. Locked in a battle with redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard, the junior came out strong at Texas’ first fall practice.

After one day, at least, it looked like Swoopes was the better QB. He was sharp with his short and intermediate throws, and connected on a beautiful pass to Marcus Johnson, who was being defended by strong safety Dylan Haines.

Cecil Cherry will certainly let you know what he is thinking. Charlie Strong would like the talented freshman linebacker to back up his talk by making plays on the field.
