The wide receiver position still lacks ideal depth, affording an opportunities for players like redshirt freshman Casey Cain, who may be emerging for the Texas Longhorns in recent practices, including a spectacular one-handed catch from redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers during Saturday’s scrimmage.
The rep came as Ewers and Cain worked with the first-team offensive line against what looks like the first-team defense. Working down the right sideline, Cain got a step on Ohio State transfer cornerback Ryan Watts, maintained his positioning in a hand fight with the lengthy Watts, then fully extended to bring in the catch while ensuring he got a foot down inbounds.
