D’shawn Jamison isn’t the only new member of the Texas Longhorns program who will take reps at multiple positions this fall, as the official roster lists Malcolm Epps as a tight end and wide receiver.
The news about Epps isn’t particularly surprising — the 6’5, 230-pounder was always going to need time to gain the mass necessary to serve as an in-line blocker. And in high school at Spring Dekaney, he mostly lined up as a wide receiver.
Physically, the development of Epps hasn’t happened as quickly as it does for other players, in part because he doesn’t naturally have the thick joints and big frame that often portend fast weight gain.
