Derek Kerstetter, Texas, Player News

Derek Kerstetter could have left and thrown his hat into the NFL draft ring earlier this year, but there was work that needed to be done. Besides, he had zero interest in leaving college with a final image of him being carted off the field. So Texas' sen ior center is back for a fifth season after a gruesome ankle injury at Kansas State cut his 2020 season short in Week 9. Eight months of resolve-testing rehabilitation have fueled Kerstetter's desire to finish out his college career, and he's eager to le ad this offensive line into the latest new era of Longhorns football.Tough people overcome, and Kerstetter, a hard-nosed sort who doesn't back down from a fight, didn't take long to make the obvious decision, even if he will be playing in front of an inexperienced quarterback for his final year. "They've been hectic," Kerstetter said of the weeks of recovery followed by the months of rehab. "It's been just a pleasure to be able to come out here to be with my teammates again. What I went through w as a blessing because it taught me so many different things, but it was also one of the hardest things I've ever faced in my life." - Austin American Statesman

The Horns' only disruption came when senior offensive lineman Derek Kerstetter suffered a gruesome dislocated left foot injury and fractured fibula with 7:18 left in the first half. Teammates helped load him onto the cart, and he threw up the "Hook 'em" hand sign while being whisked away. The Horns missed a 30-yard field goal on that drive and went three-and-out on the next possession. But Texas (6-3, 5-3 Big 12) collected itself, steamrolled to the finish - even scoring 35 points in the third quarter a lone - and cemented its fourth straight winning season.It's the most points UT has scored since putting 70 on Colorado in the 2005 Big 12 title game. Kerstetter was taken to the hospital and was back with the team before the game ended. "We were i n total control. We were having fun. We had released all of the pressures off ourselves," Herman said. That was before Kerstetter's injury, which cast a pall over the sideline. At halftime, Herman said he told players that "Derek's going to be OK. He wou ld be so angry if he knew that we were playing like this because we were sad for him." The normal starting tackle, Samuel Cosmi, opted out after last week's loss to Iowa State knocked Texas from out of the Big 12 race. So did safety Caden Sterns. There's no telling what Cosmi was thinking after seeing Kerstetter's foot folded so awkwardly. The injury was so unsettling, Fox did not show replays. Trainers threw a towel over Kerstetter's foot to cover it up. "Let's pray for a smooth full recovery!" Cosmi t weeted. - Austin American Statesman
