Steve Sarkisian rips coaches for bringing back NFL players after Texas OL rejoined team after NFL minicamp stints
Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson, who went to two NFL minicamps, rejoined the team after receiving an injunction for a fifth year of eligibility this fall.
Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson is set to return to the Longhorns' roster after participating in minicamp with two NFL teams following his undrafted status. Coach Steve Sarkisian supports the SEC's decision to prohibit schools from rostering players who have signed professional contracts, despite finding it hypocritical. The SEC, along with other power conferences, has implemented a policy to prevent players who have signed pro deals from joining their programs.
This has led to legal challenges, and the SEC is considering options such as boycotts and even expulsion from the conference for teams that violate the rule. Despite this, Hutson, who has extensive college experience, is expected to contribute to Texas' offensive line, with the team facing Texas State and Ohio State this fall.
