## Resource

Texas Longhorns are primed for a breakout season with a loaded roster returning and smart portal additions, but three key players—Lance Jackson, Jelani McDonald, and Nick Townsend—must step up to unlock their full potential. Jackson has a chance to be the top pass rusher behind Colin Simmons, McDonald is stepping into a leadership role as the new safety anchor, and Townsend could become Arch Manning’s reliable tight end. Their growth will determine whether Texas makes noise nationally. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
