With fifth-year guard Junior Angilau ruled out for the season, Texas redshirt sophomore...
Third-year center Jake Majors is one of just two returning offensive linemen who’ve started at least three games for the Longhorns now that Junior Angilau has been lost to injury.AUSTIN — The best offensive lines are said to operate similar to a hive mind. They become behemoths moving in lockstep, five brains melded into a collective intelligence that powers the offense.
Offensive line coach Kyle Flood is working to turn five into one with as much haste as possible as the Longhorns’ Sept. 3 season opener against Louisiana-Monroe inches closer. “It’s just me and him out there with the young guys,” said Majors, who started all 12 games at center last year. “So we’ve kind of taken that personally. Because we know that it all starts upfront. And with that being the case, we kind of talk to each other knowing like, ‘Hey, this is our time to step up. It’s time to lead this pack and do good things this year.’”
And when redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers lines up under center in Week 1 against the Warhawks, there’s a chance he’ll see three 2022 signees lined up alongside Majors and Jones: left tackle Kelvin Banks and guards DJ Campbell and Cole Hutson.But regardless of Flood’s final configuration, Texas’ offensive line is going to lack significant collegiate experience outside of its two entrenched starters.
It’s difficult to project these things years out, but Banks already looks like someone whom Texas could plug in at tackle for the next three or four seasons. And Campbell, a fellow five-star recruit, has embraced the possibility of stepping into a significant role at guard following Angilau’s injury.
Like Majors said, all that youth is probably going to lead to some unpleasant moments. For Flood and Ewers and even for star running back Bijan Robinson.
