A major question mark for Texas football heading into fall camp was the depth along the defensive line. Texas has a solid starting duo at defensive line between junior Byron Murphy II and redshirt senior T’Vondre Sweat. Beyond the duo of Murphy and Sweat, though, there aren’t any proven starters in the defensive line rotation.
Now, I’m not saying there aren’t any talented defensive linemen behind Murphy and Sweat on the depth chart that can impact this fall. What I am saying is that guys on the depth chart behind Murphy and Sweat, such as senior Alfred Collins, junior Vernon Broughton, true freshman Sydir Mitchell, and even senior Minnesota transfer Trill Carter, still have something to prove in fall camp to lock down their spots in the DL rotation heading into the season.
