Texas Could Have 15 NFL Draft Picks — Sark’s Roster Is LOADED

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers examine the remarkable rise of Texas’ roster under Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns now have 47 active NFL players—nearly double the 25 they had before Sark arrived—and Texas State head coach G.J. Kinne says NFL scouts believe as many as 15 players from this year’s team could be drafted. The panel explains how elite talent at premium positions, including Arch Manning, Colin Simmons, Trevor Goosby and Ryan Wingo, has placed Texas among college football’s premier programs. The crew also discusses the maturity separating freshmen such as Richard Wesley, Derrek Cooper, Jermaine Bishop Jr. and Kosi Okpala, along with which young Longhorns could see the field against Texas State. With Steve Sarkisian averaging 11 true freshmen in season openers, Saturday represents a critical opportunity to strengthen the depth chart—but Texas must first control an explosive Bobcats offense before turning its attention to Ohio State.
