Texas Sets April 18 Spring Scrimmage With Fan Day

Sarkisian will open spring with an NFL-style, OTA-first plan to prioritize development.

Overview

  • Athletic director Chris Del Conte announced the spring-ending scrimmage and Fan Day at a Town Hall at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium.
  • Specifics of the scrimmage format were not released, leaving open whether it will mirror the traditional Orange-White game.
  • Texas held only a Fan Day last year after a taxing postseason that included a conference title game and three College Football Playoff contests.
  • Sarkisian said the program will emphasize low-contact OTAs early in spring before moving into more scrimmage work given the roughly 15-practice limit.
  • Del Conte said the new practice facility next to the stadium and Moody Center is expected to be completed this summer.
