Texas Longhorns freshman safety Jason Hall has been spending time working with the first team over the last week, senior cornerback Quandre Diggs confirmed on Saturday morning in a media availability.
Head coach Charlie Strong has questioned his senior leadership multiple times since the start of fall camp, but Diggs said that he's spending time coaching up Hall, who just arrived on campus during the summer.
"I'm telling him, you have got to stay focused," Diggs said. "You can't settle. I started since I got here, so I am able to talk to him and tell him things like that."
Diggs and defensive coordinator Vance Bedford traded nicknames once the Texas alum arrived on campus with Strong in January and the freshmen defensive backs have acquired some of their own.
At 6'2 and 207 pounds, Hall is one of the biggest safeties on the Texas roster, so it's no surprise that he's earned the moniker "Big Horse."
