September 14, 20232 yr [/url] I suppose this was for his outstanding run blocking?I think we vastly underrate just how much Whittington, Jones and Sweat deciding to come back have already helped us this year and will continue.
September 14, 20232 yr JWhitt has been my favorite Horn for three years. He’s awesome. So happy for him and the success he/we are having

October 8, 20232 yr He’s not very good as a deep threat and doesn’t win very man 1 on 1 jump balls. But , I love how we use him in the screen game and intermediate game. Get this dude in space bc he run like a RB after the catch. I feel like Sark waits until the offense sputters when he starts using JWhit. I’d incorporate his usage right off the bat, dude is always moving the chains. Also, watching AD Mitchell block makes me really appreciate JWhit’s effort. It’s night and day.

November 12, 20232 yr Jonathan Brooks typically makes the tackles on our bonehead interceptions. This time it was J Whitt, with the strip fumble!
November 12, 20232 yr Popular Post JW just made the play of the year. I haven’t been that hyped about a play in i don’t know how long. THAT is a championship level effort. we haven’t had character and effort like that in a decade+. outstanding.
November 12, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Zeus said: Damn X had a crazy fast run back to recover the ball too the heart and desire of this team makes me so proud. does sark need to get his shit together when it comes to second half play and 4th and short? abso-fucking-lutely! still, anyone who can’t see his recruiting, player development, and character development needs to take a step back and try and remember the last time we had a team full of all americans who were busting their asses every second of every play like this team is. i’m more proud of the players on this team than any team in recent memory.

November 12, 20232 yr The fact that whitt dived and missed the tackle and still got up and made the play is amazing.
November 12, 20232 yr Could be a season-defining play by Whitt with excellent recovery from X. End result of the sequence is a FG from us = margin of victory. Rivals - arguably surpasses due to Texas recovery - the 2005 Jamaal Charles tackle of AJ Hawk vs Ohio State.
November 15, 20232 yr Just confirmed that JWhitt has been playing thru a foot/toe injury for a little while. Hoping he's closer to 100% this Saturday. 🤘
November 15, 20232 yr On 11/12/2023 at 11:19 AM, Coach pop a bitch said: The fact that whitt dived and missed the tackle and still got up and made the play is amazing. Everything about that (post interception anyway) was amazing. JW missing the tackle, getting up and stripping the ball, and X flying back down the field to end up getting the ball that was supposed to be his in the first place. Sheer determination from both of them. I haven't seen a play like that from the Horns in quite a long time.
November 16, 20232 yr JW was also open on the play. Hopefully Quinn will start taking those free yards instead of forcing some of the 50/50 balls. Letting JW go to work over the middle can open up so much other stuff.

November 18, 20232 yr Total team player. Can’t say enough good things about the player he is and really hope the best for him.
November 19, 20232 yr Took a dig at Campbell in the postgame interview, ”Now we have a 5-star culture with 5-star players.”

November 22, 20232 yr Senior wide receiver Jordan Whittington almost quit football his sophomore year. Thankfully he didn’t, and he has now grown into one of the most impactful players on the Texas team. His mom will get to watch him play in person for the first time in a Texas uniform. After injury struggles early in his career, he stuck it out for one goal: a Big 12 championship. This season, Whittington has been a key part of the Texas offense, even though he has only scored one touchdown. “I don’t know if there’s another guy in our locker room who’s more respected than Jordan Whittington,” head coach Steve Sarkisian said. “I think every guy in that locker room respects him to a point where if J Whit’s doing it, that’s probably what I’m supposed to be doing.” His work ethic on the field goes unmatched. If he’s not catching a pass, he’s blocking for his fellow receivers or running routes to draw defenders away from the play. On sophomore quarterback Quinn Ewers’ interception against TCU, he missed the first tackle but got up and ran back down the field to force a fumble and give Texas the ball back. But Sarkisian has not only noticed his growth and maturity on the field. After breaking his collarbone against Oklahoma in 2021, he contemplated not playing football again. “I wouldn’t let him not play football anymore,” Sarkisian said. “I just know you only get this one time. You don’t get to say hey, when I’m 40 or 50, like me, I’m gonna go back and play football.” Whittington did not waste his second chance with the team. Now on his second senior day, his parents will be able to be at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium with him. “Last year it was so late notice that my parents weren’t able to be there,” Whittington said. “My mom’s first game is this weekend and it’s senior night, so I have to (run through the tunnel again). I’m excited to let her see the atmosphere, especially because it’s gonna be crazy.” Whittington is one of the seniors who has bought into Sarkisian’s culture and embraced it. Now in his final year, he is one of the team’s top receivers. He waited his turn, didn’t leave the team and was the key player in Texas’ win over Iowa State. He caught his first touchdown of the season and sixth of his career as well as a major two-point conversion to give Texas a two-score lead. “I don’t have a blueprint for how you get trust,” Whittington said. “I’m guessing it’s from respect and transparency and I think you know, we have a lot of that for (Sarkisian) and just trusting each other. Once everyone trusts each other, it’s easy to just listen to the guy that’s put in charge, and he is, and he’s just doing a really good job of instilling the culture, and us and other leaders are doing a good job of making that go throughout the team.” Whittington’s storied Texas career will come to an end after this season, but he has the potential to continue his legacy of greatness after college. Having handled adversity with grace and selflessness, he is one of the biggest assets to the Texas offense. “The selflessness in which he plays the game is very rare,” Sarkisian said. “He’s instilling in others (that) this is how to play the game. And this is how to be successful at this game. This is how to be on a championship team.”
November 27, 20232 yr Thanks JWhitt !!! 🤘 Definitely "A GREAT MAN" !!! 🤘 Edited November 27, 20232 yr by LTtxfan
December 3, 20232 yr I’m happy for all the players to get to play in the CFP. But I’m extra happy for Jordan Whittington to get the opportunity. He fought hard through all the shit to get us here and never gave up. What a great Longhorn!
