Texas LB Ty’Anthony Smith missing from Saturday's scrimmage

Ty’Anthony Smith, junior linebacker for the Texas Longhorns, did not participate in a key preseason scrimmage held on Saturday. Reports indicate he was absent as Texas prepares for the upcoming season. Smith's performance in the Citrus Bowl had set high expectations for his role, but the team's acquisition of two transfer students may limit his opportunities. Further clarification on Smith's status is expected during a media session with head coach Steve Sarkisian later today.
