In the aftermath of a mass exodus that included eight starters, the Texas Longhorns defense has its fair share of questions to answer as the 2019 campaign inches nearer.
The Horns’ secondary is certainly no exception.
Gone are 146 career appearances and 90 starts worth of experience in the form of cornerbacks Kris Boyd and Davante Davis, and nickelback P.J. Locke III, so there’s understandably some concern regarding how Texas replaces three proven products with much fresher faces. But such is life in college football. However, top-tier recruiting, development, and sheer elite-level talent on hand and waiting in the wings has Texas in a position to unveil a secondary that not only boasts tremendous long-term upside, but one that may very well be a team strength towards the end of the season.
