Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe have football to talk about with the Longhorns back on the practice field following a pause due to COVID-19. Steve Sarkisian led his squad through three practices in as many days before Easter Sunday and while there's a long way to go before wrapping up spring practice with the April 24 spring game, there's plenty to glean from the team's recent workouts.

— Juwan Mitchell is in the NCAA transfer portal, leaving a gaping hole on the depth chart at inside linebacker. Who's left in the room and what should the focus be for the group for the rest of the spring?

— With that as the backdrop, the reported emergence of Darion Dunn as a player of significance at cornerback could help Pete Kwiatkowski resolve personnel issues across the board defensively.

— How's Sarkisian dealing with the enigma that's become the tight end room on the Forty Acres? It sounds like there's plenty of experimenting occurring in that regard.

Those questions and more get answered on the latest edition of the Longhorn Blitz podcast!
