'Glad I went to church': Texas coach Steve Sarkisian happy for Trevor Goosby injury news
Trevor Goosby, Texas football's All-American left tackle, suffered a noncontact knee injury early in the week, but Steve Sarkisian relieved that he will return
When Texas football began its second intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday, backup left tackle Andre Cojoe and backup left guard Dylan Sikorski took the starting offensive front positions. However, they will return to their reserve roles, relieving Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian. Starting left guard Laurence Seymore III will return to practice Monday after a week-long absence due to an undisclosed injury, and starting left tackle Trevor Goosby is making impressive progress after suffering a bone bruise to his knee during Monday's practice.
This positive news about Goosby's recovery is a significant relief for Sarkisian and his team, given the importance of the 6-foot-7, 325-pound All-American player to quarterback Arch Manning and the Texas offense. Sarkisian expressed his relief and concern over Goosby's non-contact injury, noting that such injuries are often more alarming due to their potential causes and his player's protective nature for the team.
Goosby, a four-year starter, could have entered the NFL draft last year but chose to return to Texas, where he is considered a top draft pick. Sarkisian emphasized the significance of losing a player of Goosby's caliber, highlighting his defensive leadership and football aspirations. As Goosby's return timeline is not yet determined, Texas officials hope he can play in the season opener against Texas State on September 5.
