AUSTIN, Texas — The thing about big humans is that there’s also such a thing as too big.
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and offensive line coach Kyle Flood love big humans — the 2024 spring roster features eight players who are 324 pounds or more, which is also the average weight of the 17 scholarship offensive linemen on campus. But pure size isn’t enough to excel in the trenches. Those lineman have to be able to move, too.
For junior Cam Williams, the projected replacement at right tackle for Christian Jones, who started 48 games at Texas, that’s meant redistributing his weight after playing at 364 pounds as a freshman and 369 pounds as a sophomore.
