Texas Football: Breaking down the 2018 depth chart

H-Wide Receiver

Starter: Lil’Jordan Humphrey, junior

Backup: D’shawn Jamison, freshman

Or: Josh Moore, freshman

Here we reach the most versatile of all the skill position weapons for the Horns with junior Lil’Jordan Humphrey. While posting a smaller breakthrough 2017 campaign, Humphrey looks to really prove his worth on the national stage this fall. He’ll be able to make a bigger impact with more trust from the coaching staff in his skill set.

Herman described Humphrey as a “Swiss Army knife” in a recent press conference while hitting on how valuable he could be for this offense. His agility and slashing ability makes him a very unique option for the Horns to turn to. Humphrey is also a safer option than getting the ball to someone like Johnson by throwing up a 50/50 ball on the outside.

The main point here should be the playing time that is distributed among the backups behind Humphrey. The pair of freshman wide receivers in D’shawn Jamison and Josh Moore will compete hard for playing time for this year and on into the future. Jamison is more of a threat in the open field to make defenders miss. Yet, Moore is a crisper route runner.

All this diverse talent for the Horns should make h-receiver one of the most fun to watch. Jamison could also play into the mix in special teams given his elusiveness. We don’t know who the returners will be for the punting and kicking teams yet, but Jamison’s name should be in the mix.
