Former DeSoto All-American returns to Austin

[Harry]

DENTON Darius Terrell began his college career with visions of dashing across the goal line on the turf of Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin as the cheers of thousands of fans clad in burnt orange reverberated through the stands.

Terrell will be on that historic field Saturday, but the cheers wont be for him when the Longhorns open their season with a game against North Texas.

Terrell spent two years at Texas trying to make the transition from playing wide receiver to tight end before switching course and transferring to UNT. The former DeSoto standout is listed as a co-starter with Carlos Harris at one slot receiver spot and is expected to play a major role for the Mean Green.

I have been thinking about it ever since I found out that Texas is on the schedule, Terrell said. Im excited about playing them. My position coach is still there. Its going to be pretty cool.

Terrell worked with tight ends coach Bruce Chambers at Texas. The former UNT player was in charge of building Terrell up and teaching him the art of blocking defensive ends, in addition to being a threat in the passing game.
