OTF Premium Misc. Team Nuggets from the Weekend

[CJ Vogel]

Week 3 of spring football begins tomorrow morning as the Longhorns take the field for practice No. 7.

A few nuggets over the weekend that I picked up on the mini scrimmage/team period from practice No. 6.

***

– WR Daylan McCutcheon found the end zone over the middle of the field during the team setting. Route running continues to be a strength for the early enrollee who has continued to see time with the first unit.

– A pair of nuggets on the RB room.

RB Christian Clark has been making some noise this spring after recovering from an Achilles injury last fall. The staff is keeping Clark pretty limited in the live situations so far this spring, but other than that, Clark has consistently earned praise for his cutting ability off the Achilles. Should there be no setbacks, and I am knocking on wood as I type, Clark will have a role this fall.

Another RB mentioned was early enrollee James Simon who got loose a couple of times Thursday night. Simon is listed at 205 pounds on the Texas roster, but he is probably closer to 210 and carrying it well.

– Two sources indicated RT Andre Cojoe continues to be a positive surprise this spring. The battle between Cojoe and Baker is legit. One source indicated that they believed the job would be pretty quickly decided for Baker, though Cojoe has given Baker a run for his money and continues to piece things together.

It's always cool when you see players start to separate.  I'd love to see Clark become Sark's next 1000 yard rusher.
