The injury bug was something Texas battled throughout the 2021 season, and it unfortunately struck again on Saturday afternoon as WR Isaiah Neyor and OL Junior Angilau reportedly suffered season-ending knee injuries during the first scrimmage of fall camp, according to Orangebloods.com.
Neyor, who transferred to Texas from Wyoming this off-season, was set to open the season as the #2 receiver for the Longhorns after having a breakout season for the Cowboys in 2021 (44 catches, 878 yards and 12 touchdowns).
Angilau entered 2022 with 34 career starts at guard and was set to help anchor a Texas offensive line that would be breaking in several new starters.
In addition to the injuries suffered by Neyor and Angilau, RB Roschon Johnson was also banged up and will reportedly miss some time.
The Longhorns are 20 days away from opening the season against Louisiana-Monroe.
