Texas freshman Jermaine Bishop Jr.'s big catch against Tennessee caught the attention of his teammates. But is his Longhorns future on offense or defense?

Jermaine Bishop may be 'the one' for Texas football. Is that on offense, defense or both?

During Texas Longhorns' 20-17 victory against Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium, quarterback Arch Manning completed a crucial 30-yard pass to freshman wide receiver Jermaine Bishop Jr. The play, which came late in the first quarter, saw Bishop elude Tennessee's Qua Moss and sprint out of bounds for a touchdown. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian stated that Bishop would primarily play offense at the moment but wouldn't rule out the possibility of him donning a defensive jersey.

Bishop, a four-star recruit, had an impressive high school career, amassing 1,241 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, while also producing 15 interceptions over four years.
