Overview
- Texas will stage an open practice at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, April 18 at 11 a.m., turning its traditional Orange-White scrimmage into a Fan Day event.
- Sarkisian said the roster is too thin in the trenches to split into two full teams, so the session will feature some scrimmaging, drills, and limited tackling instead of a full game.
- Offensive-line availability has been hit by recoveries and injuries, with Trevor Goosby working back from a shoulder injury, Andre Cojoe sidelined since last August with a knee injury, and early enrollee Kaden Scherer out after lower leg surgery.
- This marks a second straight spring without the Orange-White game, following a February town hall where athletic director Chris Del Conte had signaled a spring game would return before plans shifted.
- Fans can expect a street festival on Bevo Boulevard, a team shop sale, on-field autographs, and photo ops, in a format that preserves fan access while reducing injury risk that comes with fielding two full squads in April.
