  • Texas wide receiver Jordan Whittington, who left the game against the UTEP Miners on Saturday with injury, will require knee surgery, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
  • Texas alum and professional golfer Scottie Scheffler tested positive for COVID-19 and will now be forced to miss this year’s U.S. Open, the Austin American-Statesman reports. From the Statesman: “The former University of Texas star has finished in the top 10 seven times during his rookie campaign on Tour and was hoping to build on previous U.S. Open success — he was the low amateur at Erin Hills in 2017, when he tied for 27th. Scheffler’s withdrawal opens a spot for South African Branden Grace.”
