Longhorns Daily News: Texas named among nation’s top two WR groups, behind Ohio State

The Texas Longhorns wide receiver room is getting an exceptional amount of buzz this offseason. To be expected, with third-year returning players like Xavier Worthy and top true freshmen recruits like Johntay Cook in the lineup. In fact, On3 recently described Texas’ wide receiver room as the nation’s second-best, behind the Ohio State Buckeyes, but ahead of the LSU Tigers.

From On3: “If not for Ohio State, the Longhorns would have the best receiver corps in 2023, with a dynamic trio in Xavier Worthy, AD Mitchell and Jordan Whittington. Worthy is a future 1st Round pick, while Mitchell, who transferred from Georgia this offseason, has similar upside and has been a key playmaker for the Bulldogs in multiple College Football Playoff games. Whittington isn’t flashy but the veteran is a reliable target who can play multiple spots. Texas also has the luxury of backups like Isaiah Neyor, who was a big-time transfer addition last year but tore his ACL in fall camp, and 5-star freshman Johntay Cook II — both of whom would start for most schools.”
