A Texas Longhorns defense that needs to reload just kept a huge piece, as safety Brandon Jones will return for his senior season, he announced Thursday on Twitter:
Jones returns to the Texas defense after holding down the safety spot for most of the season, save for the four games he missed due to injury. In spite of that, he finished the season with 70 tackles — No. 4 on the team — including 5.5 for loss and two fumble recoveries.
Perhaps the most important thing Jones brings to the table for the Texas defense is maturity and experience.
