Texas football has so many players that could step up as junior and senior leaders this season. Even some sophomores established themselves in big roles for the Longhorns last season. Texas has 20 senior that are projected to be on the roster for the 2018 campaign, so there’s a ton of players to choose from in this regard.
The defense mainly has the bulk of the seniors coming back to campus in Austin this fall. A good portion of the seniors on the offensive side of the ball either won’t play too big of a role this year, or came into the mix via the grad transfer market.
