Texas Football: 4 players whose production will skyrocket under Sarkisian
The anticipation for what’s to come for new head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Texas football program this fall is starting to really build up given that we’re less than 60 days away from the start of the 2021 regular season. Texas is set to kick off their regular season slate this fall on Sep. 4 at home against Louisiana.
Sark and the Longhorns will have some difficult non-conference tests and that come against the likes of a potential top 25 Group of Five preseason squad in Louisiana and a deeper Arkansas Razorbacks team on the road. And then Texas will have to face the likes of the TCU Horned Frogs and Iowa State Cyclones on the road in Big 12 play.
It also goes without saying that it will still be a challenge to take care of business against the likes of the rival Oklahoma Sooners in Dallas, Oklahoma State Cowboys at home, and Baylor Bears on the road. Texas could also have a sneaky difficult meeting with the West Virginia Mountaineers on the road.

Beyond the difficulties that will lie for Sark and the Longhorns with their actual opponents this fall, figuring out this roster will present hurdles itself. Texas didn’t have as much roster attrition this offseason as many anticipated with another full change in the coaching regime. But Texas still lost some important pieces from last season’s team nonetheless.
Knowing that, the Longhorns will have to find other answers amid players to step up in bigger roles out of the gates this year. But the new schemes implemented by Sark and his staff will be key to making a leap in the Big 12.
Here’s a look into four Longhorns’ players that could see their production skyrocket under Sark’s coaching staff in 2021.
