Texas Longhorns rising redshirt sophomore edge Colton Vasek is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, according to a Sunday report from Chip Brown of Horns247.
It’s not a longterm physical setback for the 6’5, 260-pounder, who played with a brace on his shoulder in 2024, but it is another one for Vasek following a back injury that kept him from seeing the field as a true freshman in 2023.
Vasek arrived on the Forty Acres from Austin Westlake as a member of the 2023 recruiting class after a high-profile flip from Oklahoma to Texas, an important head-to-head win for the Longhorns over their Red River rival.
