One of the best tweets of the 2022 NFL Draft came from University of Texas linebacker/EDGE DeMarvion Overshown. After the Longhorns had no players selected, Overshown , That will never happen again.Next years selection proce
Seth DeValve Jersey s will be the first test of Overshowns promise. Looking at the team's roster for this season, a few Longhorns should hear their name called next April. This post highlights the Texas players likeliest to get picked next year, while also previewing some other Longhorns who could end up in the league.It should be noted that Andrew Miller at and Kevin Borba at have each also put together helpful UT prospect previews. Their work provided a worthwhile jumping-off point as this piece analysis was compiled.Robinson stands a good chance of being the first running back drafted in 2023. Although Robinson wasn't included in the first round of my latest , he has first-round potential. Robinson is a complete back whose best trait might be his balance. While he boasts an elite juke move and tremendous agility, he is also tough to bring down and impre sively absorbs contact. Robinson shared well-deserved first-team All-Big 12 honors at running back in 2021 with Iowa States Breece Hall, who was picked in the second round of this years draft. Robinson is the player to watch for Texas.Texas scored some big victories in the transfer portal this offseason, and Billingsley is one of the most exciting players the Longhorns landed. An Alabama transfer, Billingsley struggled to live up to enormously high expectations in Tuscaloosa, but he will have an opportunity for a fresh start with Texas. He is one of the most athletic tight ends in the country, with route-running ability and hands as good as some of the best receivers in next years
Larry Ogunjobi Jersey draft. The former four-star recruit is especially lethal on square-out patterns and seam routes. If Billingsley can take advantage of this second chance with Texas, he could go as high as the second round.Scroll to ContinueThe 2022 season will be pivotal for Jones, a raw, yet talented prospect whose technique is underdeveloped. Fortunately for this offensive lineman, all of the key traits are there. A good NFL offensive line coach would be excited to work with a player like Jones, who has the potential to develop into a starter at the next level. Jones has the size, power and intensity to succeed at the tackle position. If he shows flashes of putting it all together this season, he could be a late-round selection.A suming all goes according to plan this season, Coburn will leave Austin as a four-year starter at nose tackle. He also has a reputation as a stellar teammate and calming presence in the locker room. Coburns talent does not show up on the stat sheet; he regularly eats up space and blockers, letting other defenders make plays. But the simple fact is this: Coburn is a 6-foot-2, 336-pound
T. J. Carrie Jersey nose tackle who has earned All-Big 12 honorable mention two years in a row. If he isnt a Day-3 selection next year, he would be a highly sought-after undrafted free agent.We can't know for sure whether Overshown is correct that Texas will never get shut out of a given NFL draft again. But Overshown himself is a big reason that Texas is almost certainly going to have multiple draftees in 2023. A Butkus Award semifinalist last year, Overshown is a leader on the Texas defense who commands respect from his teammates. Overshown actually plays a bit like a safety, which can be good and bad. But with his burst, quickne s off the line, and active hands on the rush, he is a true playmaker. Overshown would be a tremendous pickup in the middle rounds for a team willing to be a bit creative about using him on defense.RB Roschon Johnson: Yes, Texass backup running back might also get drafted. Thats how good this years backfield is at the Forty Acres. Johnson was a superstar quarterback in high school who transitioned to running back as a freshman due to injuries. He has managed to accumulate a significant number of carries with the Longhorns. A bruising, downhill runner with above-average patience, Johnson stands at an imposing 6-foot-2 and 219 pounds. He was also terrific in Texass spring game this year, scoring two touchdowns on the ground. Johnson could sneak into the back of the draft.WR Isaiah Neyor: Neyor just transferred to Texas from Wyoming. The sure-handed pa s-catcher will look to carve out a role for himself in the talented Texas receiving corps. At 6-foot-3, he has the right size to be a difference-maker at split end, and he has a knack for finding the end zone. Neyor projects as a fringe Day-3
Sheldrick Redwine Jersey option for a team looking to add depth at wideout.WR Jordan Whittington: Although Whittington is one of the most talented players on Texass roster, he has struggled with injuries throughout his career in Austin. He has yet to put together a full season of football in college. If he can stay on the field, this converted running back will shred defenses and cause headaches for defensive coordinators. He is likely an undrafted free agent-level prospect for now, but he has a reasonably high ceiling.G Junior Angilau: Texas has a couple of offensive linemen who could end up on NFL rosters come 2023. Angilau is a solid guard who has been a fixture on the UT line for a few years. He has above-average size and will have every opportunity to demonstrate his run-blocking prowe s this year with the superstars in Texas backfield. Angilau has played both left guard and right guard, though he has recently trended toward the left side. He has the instincts and patience to stick on the left side of the line long-term.DL Moro Ojomo: Ojomo has been in the news recently for some back-and-forth with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. E sentially, Ojomo spoke quite candidly to the media about his frustration with younger Longhorns players lack of focus on winning, and Sarkisian his senior defensive lineman publicly in response. That situation is worth monitoring, but on the field, Ojomo has been a decent defensive lineman who could catch on as a rotational 4-3 defensive tackle or 3-4 end on an NFL roster. He has undrafted free-agent potential.EDGE Ovie Oghoufo: As much as anyone on this list, Oghoufos draft stock is going to depend almost entirely on his production this year. At 6-foot-3, 241 pounds, he is well within the range of size that one would look for in an EDGE rusher. After transferring in from Notre Dame last year, Oghoufo posted fine numbers but failed to demonstrate pro-level talent. He will have the opportunity to do so this season at the BUCK position in the Texas defense, with a focus on rushing the pa ser.LB Luke Brockermeyer: For fans that appreciate old-school football, Brockermeyer is fun to watch.
