Texas quarterback shows improved accuracy at passing camp

The Texas Longhorns quarterback completed several deep passes and hit targets during Friday's skills competition at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, Louisiana. He declined to discuss preseason awards when speaking with reporters before the session.

Performance details The quarterback completed 61.4 percent of his passes during the previous season. That figure included a 44 percent completion rate in one game that drew boos from fans. He finished the season by winning seven of his final eight starts, including a 41-27 Citrus Bowl victory in which he accounted for 376 total yards and four touchdowns.

Offseason additions The team added wide receiver Cam Coleman and running backs Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers through the transfer portal. On3 listed the quarterback among the standouts at the camp on Friday.
