Jordan Whittington arrived at Texas in January with lofty expectations and a month removed from one of the biggest performances in Texas high school football history.
The five-star Cuero product dominated the Gobblers' 4A Division 2 state title win over Pleasant Grove at AT&T Stadium, totaling 377 yards -- including 334 on the ground, which broke NFL legend Eric Dickerson's Texas state title game record -- six touchdowns and 11 tackles, leading to him claiming the game's offensive and defensive MVP awards.
Fast forward to now, and in the short time that the Longhorns have had their hands on him, Whittington has been one of Texas' most talked about players.
