The Texas Longhorns are now only 12 days away from the season opener against North Texas on August 30, so with fall camp now winding down as the Horns begin to prepare to game week, it's time to take a look at the prospective starters against the Mean Green.

The depth chart doesn't include the following players who have been suspended for at least the first game:

  • Senior right tackle Desmond Harrison
  • Junior wide receiver Daje Johnson
  • Senior safety Josh Turner
The depth chart also doesn't include the following players who are currently injured, which makes it difficult to determine where they would slot:
  • Senior wide receiver Jaxon Shipley (hamstring)
  • Senior tight end Greg Daniels (knee)
  • Sophomore tight end Blake Whiteley (unknown)
  • Freshman running back Donald Catalon (hamstring)
  • Senior cornerback Sheroid Evans (knee)
  • Sophomore linebacker Deoundrei Davis (knee)
  • Redshirt freshman safety Erik Huhn (knee)

With no official depth chart released since new head coach Charlie Strong arrived in Austin, projecting the depth chart is a difficult task and based primarily upon the starters for the spring game, the observations from the open practice, what the coaches have said this fall, and pure speculation.

Since there were no kickoff returns in the spring game and there has been little to no information about which players have worked there this fall, that has been left blank.
