Slot receiver among most interesting positional battles for Texas this spring

With the 2018 season now long in the rearview and spring practice getting underway, the Texas Longhorns are tasked with replacing a small army of starters across a multitude of positions.

The majority of Texas’ vacancies can be found on defense, but there are a few new open roles on offense, and among those is at slot receiver where Lil’Jordan Humphrey starred en route to the third-most successful season of any receiver in school history before taking his talents to the NFL.

The bad news is replacing a talent such as Humphrey doesn’t happen easily, but on the other hand, the Longhorns aren’t lacking young talent with tremendous upside.
