Playing Experience at Texas A&M
In his only season with the Aggies, Newman played seven snaps at right tackle while redshirting. His weight increased significantly from his high school days, enhancing his profile as a developmental player.
Joining the Longhorns
Newman’s transfer adds much-needed depth to the Texas offensive line. His experience at Texas A&M will serve as an advantage as he adapts to the Longhorns’ system. This is the second commitment from the transfer portal for Texas this month, following Oregon State guard Dylan Sikorski.
With these additions, Texas might better navigate the challenges posed by attrition in the offensive line position as they aim for a successful season ahead.
