Steve Sarkisian finally ready to expand the Texas WR rotation

After three wide receivers — AD Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, and Jordan Whittington — played 2,278 of the 2,533 snaps logged at the position for the Texas Longhorns last season, nearly 90 percent, head coach Steve Sarkisian said on Wednesday at SEC Media Days in Dallas that he plans on finally expanding the rotation at the position with Mitchell, Worthy, and Whittington all preparing for their first seasons in the NFL.

“I think it’s twofold,” Sarkisian said. “We are going to play more receivers. I think the length of the season, and because of not having all of the rapport with Quinn [Ewers], some of that we’ll have to feel out as games go.
