Texas raided the portal

The Longhorns landed Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman, one of the best players available in the offseason transfer market.

Biggest stage of his career

Coleman gets No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday night in Austin, the largest audience he has played for in college.

The threat behind the threat

Coleman's NFL-ready ability is only half the problem. The coverage he pulls is what opens the field for Ryan Wingo.

A gap Texas could not fill

The Longhorns had no possession receiver of Coleman's caliber last season. Wingo was the clear No. 1, but with a different skillset entirely.

Wingo is a space player

His damage comes after the catch, with long strides and a burst defenders do not see coming. Contested reps were never his game.

Big road games exposed him

Wingo struggled in last year's opener against Ohio State and had miscues when the pressure climbed in Columbus and Athens.

Sarkisian admitted the overload

Days after the Ohio State loss, the Texas coach said his young receiver was simply on the field too much and needed help.

“we've got to take a little bit off his shoulders as he builds to be in that guy”

The weight comes off

With Coleman on the roster, Wingo no longer has to carry the burden of being the only receiver Texas can trust.

He already looks different

Wingo opened against Texas State with seven catches for 121 yards and a touchdown, pulling in several difficult, well-timed grabs.

Confidence is the real upgrade

Last season's inconsistency shook him. Having a second star beside him steadies a player who has clearly leveled up.
