Since the departure of former star Texas football wide receiver Devin Duvernay, this program was devoid of a true primary target in the passing game. Texas had a few wide receivers step up after the departure of both Duvernay and former senior standout wide receiver Collin Johnson last season. But there wasn’t one main wideout that came to the forefront for now former fourth-year head coach Tom Herman and wide receivers coach Andre Coleman.
Instead, the Longhorns ran their passing game last year as more of a wide receiver/running back by committee system.
