Texas co-DC Johnny Nansen charged with DWI less than week after Ohio State win, Steve Sarkisian says
Nansen is in his third season as the Longhorns' co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach.
Texas co-defensive coordinator Johnny Nansen has been charged with driving while intoxicated, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian on Thursday. The incident occurred the night after Texas' thrilling 24-23 comeback win over Ohio State. The charge is a misdemeanor DWI, reported the Austin American-Statesman. Sarkisian expressed disappointment but stated that they are still gathering facts and monitoring the situation.
Nansen, 52, is in his third season with Texas, joining from Washington where he spent five years under Sarkisian. He signed an extension with Texas in early 2023, which runs through the 2027 season with a $1.2 million annual salary. Nansen missed Texas' practice on Thursday, and Sarkisian was uncertain if he would coach against UTSA on Saturday. The story is being updated.
