- Texas wide receiver Jordan Whittington is expected to miss some time, 247Sports reports. From 247Sports: “Whittington finally seemed to get his Texas career going after catching 10 passes for 65 yards, including a long reception of 20 yards, in UT’s 53-45, four-OT loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 10. But Whittington’s abdominal, soft-tissue injury surfaced after the game, the source said. With the exception of the 2019 season opener against Louisiana Tech, Whittington’s freshman season in 2019 was wiped out after Whittington needed surgery last September and a follow-up surgery in December to repair an aggravation of a sports hernia injury he suffered in high school at Cuero.”
