4 Texas football players that shined in the first fall scrimmage

DeMarvion Overshown, LB

One of the key returning starters for PK and the Longhorns this fall is going to be super senior linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. In fact, Texas could have one of the vocal leaders on this side of the ball in Overshown this season.

It definitely sounds like Overshown is off to a promising start in fall camp. And he put an exclamation mark on that solid start to fall practice with his showing in the scrimmage this weekend.

Overshown reportedly was all over the place, getting after the quarterback effectively while showing some flashes as a production run-stopper.

There was also a reported sack that Overshown had on the day of Ewers, which came on the very first play of the scrimmage. All in all, it sounds like Overshown was showing a lot of speed and quickness off the line of scrimmage when he was called upon as an edge rusher in this scrimmage.

Overshown’s speed was also apparently a problem for this offensive line, which was struggling to hold up the pocket for the quarterbacks in this scrimmage. That is a good sign considering how many situations Texas could utilize Overshown off the edge as a pass rusher this fall.

We will still continue to monitor Overshown’s progress when he’s asked to drop back into pass coverage. That was one area that we didn’t get a lot of returns from in this first fall scrimmage. It is also one of the more important parts of Overshown’s game where he needs to show some growth this season.
