Andre Cojoe steps up as left tackle for Texas Longhorns
Summary

Andre Cojoe has taken over as the starting left tackle for the Texas Longhorns following Trevor Goosby's knee injury. Cojoe's strong performance in practice this week has drawn praise from head coach Steve Sarkisian, noting his ability to handle pressure without drawing attention to himself. The former three-star prospect is focusing on regaining his conditioning for the upcoming season opener against Texas State. With no clear timetable for Goosby's return, Cojoe will likely have an important role as the team prepares for the game.
