D’Shawn Jamison is a returning starter at cornerback for Texas, and one of the team’s leaders.
He spoke last week about the team’s chemistry, and things to improve on from last season. One of the best players in the Big 12, Jamison is a fifth-year defensive back using an extra year of eligibility. He’s played in 48 career games with 31 starts and ranks fourth all-time in Texas history in career kick returns (54) and kick return yards (1,435).
“I feel like the love for the game is there,” he said. “A lot of us wasn’t together [during last season], so now it’s like we’re a team that wants to win. The one thing that we did as a team, as a group was just try to get to know each other better knowing that nothing happened last year, we can’t let that happen again. We just try to bring us back together.”
“We’re looking way better just from doing a lot of things together, coming together. We also been having a lot of meetings with each other, just to center brand communication up to point,” Jamison said. “With the leadership thing, I just tried to make sure everybody’s on in the right path. Just making sure that everybody is doing everything right and we try to keep each other going in the right path.
Texas opens with Louisiana-Monroe, and then plays Alabama on Sept. 10.
