AUSTIN, Texas — After the Texas Longhorns started spring practice in shorts on Monday, head coach Tom Herman met with the media for the first time since National Signing Day in February.
Senior wide receiver John Burt wasn’t at practice on Monday and won’t return to the team until preseason camp begins in August. Because Burt is a standout hurdler, the coaches want him to focus on his track season, as he’s running well right now — he finished fifth in the finals of the 60m hurdles at the NCAA indoor championships on Friday.
