I’ll play along.
Shannon becomes a reliable piece at TE. Big target and enough size to block.
Vasek finally breaks out as a solid rotational piece and finishes with 5+ sacks.
Mosley, Wingo, the three freshman, the incoming freshman, and a possible portal like the SJSU kid may have been what pushed Livingstone to explore other options?
Might have played to try to showcase himself fo the portal. Not sure his play helped him. I’d say this even more likely Texas makes a decent sized move for a veteran WR in the portal.
I disagree about Livingstone. He is a tall receiver with a good catch radius and decent speed. With better hands and a little more bulk, he could be a valuable possession type receiver in the mode of Whittington. Almost as important as a good tight end.
