I was able to connect with a source today to check on the status of freshman offensive lineman Cole Hutson.
Huston, who started all 13 games for Texas in 2022 as a true freshman, did have shoulder surgery recently. I'm told he's back with the team and it's undetermined whether or not he'll be out for the spring. Per the source, Hutson actually played with a torn labrum all year but decided to play through the injury since Texas had a hole to fill at guard after Junior Angilau's season-ending injury in fall camp. UT and Hutson felt this was the perfect time to get things cleaned up after he gained so much valuable experience this year, including the extra bowl practices.
Best of luck to Hutson on a speedy and full recovery.
