Texas junior wide receiver Marquise Goodwin will redshirt the 2011 season to concentrate on track and field, a source close to the program confirmed Friday. Goodwin, a Rowlett product who has caught 61 passes the past two seasons while also contributing on special teams, won the long jump last month at the USA national outdoor championships. In the process, he qualified for the U.S. roster for the IAAF World Championship in Korea Aug. 27-Sept. 4. Texas’ season opener in Sept. 3 against Rice. In a statement, Goodwin praised football coach Mack Brown and his staff for their consideration. “To compete in the World Championships and Olympics are dreams of mine, and I'm going to do everything I can to represent them while I'm competing for our country with Team USA,” Goodwin said. “I'm still going to be around football as much as possible supporting them every step of the way next season and will be ready to go with two years left when I fully return. Until then, I'm looking forward to having a great year with Coach [Bubba] Thornton and my track and field teammates as I try to fulfill my dreams of bringing home gold to the United States and everyone at Texas.”

My favorite WR to watch on Texas, and I know it's early but I really think he will be a star at receiver in college and the pros. (and KR & PR)
Dude is exciting to watch, do any of ya'll know his 40 time?
