Freshman Close Up: Jaxon Shipley

Jaxon Shipley is expected to shoulder a pretty big load as a freshman this season.  He will start at wide receiver and he will return punts as well for the Longhorns this season.  He is the younger brother of Cincinnati Bengal Jordan Shipley who starred at Texas as well.  Longhorn head coach Mack Brown as very high expectations for the younger Shipley:

"I think we'll get turned in to the NCAA because they're going to think Jordan is back when they see him out there for a 12th year.  Jaxon is mature. He's caught just about every ball. He runs great routes. He is tough. He knows what to do."

I can't wait to see what Shipley has in store for us as a freshman.  If he is anything like his brother, man oh man will he be good.

A Lonhorns Blogger Is Born

That's right, a Longhorns Blogger is born. I have decided to take my Longhorns ramblings to the world wide web and share my feelings about the Texas Longhorns with anyone willing to read this. I follow Longhorns basketball, baseball and football...not always in that order. Keep checking back for my Longhorns Roundup!
