Some more odds and ends... ** Special teams: Punt returners were DeAndre Moore followed by Ryan Niblett. Kick returners were Tre Wisner (deep guy) and Niblett. Both field goal kickers (Will Stone and Mason Shipley) missed makable attempts. Stone missed two or three. Again, more than one person in attendance mentioned punter Jack Bouwmeester as one of the more pleasing aspects of the scrimmage. ** Notes on the younger players: - DB Xavier Filsaime filled a hole and stopped Tre Wisner short of the goal line. Filsaime seems to be moving up the depth chart some, or at least solidifying himself as a key back-up. - RB Christian …

OTF is told that freshman tight end Emaree Winston is out with an injured shoulder that will likely require him to miss at least a couple of months of this season. Winston did not participate in today's scrimmage. The injury came earlier in the week. Winston, a Georgia native, was off to a terrific start in Austin, splitting reps with blue chipper Nick Townsend and holding his own. It's a tough loss from a depth standpoint but Texas still has portal transfer Jack Endries and redshirt sophomore Spencer Shannon who started today's scrimmage with the 1s. Jordan Washington started the second half of scrimmage alongside Endries.
