Steve Sarkisian believes Texas is in great shape in the defensive backfield.
HOUSTON - The Texas Longhorns are facing some legitimate questions about their secondary heading into the 2024 season.
In fact, even with the incoming addition of transfer safety Andrew Mukuba and a host of talented recruits, at least from an outsider's perspective, the Longhorns look to be a bit short-handed in terms of experience on the back end.Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron celebrates with Texas defensive lineman Byron Murphy II "We're going to be just fine in the secondary," Sarkisian said at the Houston Touchdown Club on Wednesday.
Combine that with the returning safety talent in Derek Williams, Michael Taffe, Jelani McDonald, and Mukuba, and incoming freshmen like safety Xavier Filsaime, and corners Kobie Black, Warren Roberson, and Santa Wilson, and the Horns are as deep as they have ever been in terms of talent."Our defensive backfield is probably the most versatile as we've had in my time here and probably the most talented defensive backfield that we've had in our time here," Sarkisian said.
