AUSTIN -- One of the Longhorns' key returning pieces on defense for 2019 will reportedly be sidelined during spring football.

Texas safety Brandon Jones, who announced in January he will return for his senior season and bypass the NFL draft, underwent ankle surgery on Tuesday and will miss all of spring practice.

The news was first reported Wednesday by Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods.com and later confirmed by Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman.
