BREAKING: Ty'Anthony Smith GONE — Is Linebacker Now the Achilles’ Heel? | Texas Football

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Hank South react to the breaking news that Ty’Anthony Smith is no longer with the Texas football program. Smith was the Longhorns’ second-leading returning tackler and an important rotational piece, leaving Texas with significantly less experience behind projected starters Justin Cryer, Rasheem Biles and Brad Spence.

The crew examines whether linebacker has suddenly become the biggest concern on Will Muschamp’s defense and which players must step forward before the season begins. Can freshmen Tyler Atkinson, Rocky Cummings and Kosi Okpala handle expanded roles, or will Steve Sarkisian explore the transfer portal for emergency depth? With the second scrimmage approaching, Texas must quickly find answers in a room that now has virtually no margin for error.
