Kansas @ Texas Nov. 11 at 5pm (LHN)

Todd Orlando said he’s “excited” to see how Davante Davis/Josh Thompson compete for Holton Hill’s spot.
 
Herman calls Sam Ehlinger, Zach Shackelford, and Toneil Carter "good to go."
On Sam: "I think he'll be ready to go if we need him to."

 
Here is an article on how Gary Johnson got to Texas

AUSTIN — Junior linebacker Gary Johnson did not receive an offer from Tom Herman’s coaching staff until January 4th. At that point, the Dodge City C.C. four-star had offers from West Virginia, Georgia, Ohio State, TCU, and Auburn to name a few.

Johnson’s offer was not the first time he had paid attention to Texas either. On Tuesday, Johnson said that he watched UT’s loss to Kansas last year. After the game, Johnson “pretty much didn’t know what to think.”

At that point, Johnson’s life had just undergone a major shakeup. Johnson was an Alabama commit, but parted ways with the Crimson Tide on October 30, 2016. The top JUCO linebacker in the country needed to find a new place to play.

Luckily for both Johnson and the Longhorns, he found one.

“It was pretty difficult,” Johnson said about having to start the recruiting process over. “Once I set aside the schools that I was interested in and took my visits, it was pretty much obvious that Texas was the place for me.”​

I also noticed that the 8-9 players who weren't approaching the punter seem to have trouble finding bodies to hit. They all turn and head towards the returner, and by the time they look to their sides, a couple of gunners are already past them with clean looks at the returner. I get that this isn't a uniquely-Texas problem, but whoever is putting together the personnel for returns doesn't seem to care about giving our returner a chance.
 
Davante Davis is listed over Josh Thompson on the depth chart at corner. Thompson also listed behind Kris Boyd at the other corner spot.
