After two rocky years, Charlie Strong enters his third season at Texas with big expectations and big pressure. The Longhorns must show serious progress in 2016 following a disappointing 5-7 season. Another impressive recruiting class arrives this summer, but first Texas a lot of work to do this spring.
The Longhorns get their spring drills underway on Monday. Here are some key storylines to watch:
Offensive returner ready to take next step: Wide receiver John Burt. Somebody is going to have to catch the ball for new offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert. His top wideout at Tulsa last year, Keyarris Garrett, put up monster numbers (96 catches, 1,588 yards and eight touchdowns) and was targeted a ridiculous 165 times.
