Texas added one more newcomer into the mix for its third preseason practice.

Defensive tackle Jamari Chisholm, who sat out the first two practices this week, was cleared to work out and appeared in his first practice on Wednesday morning, Horns247 has confirmed. The news was first reported by Rivals.com.

Tom Herman told media members on Monday that Chisholm had to finish up some academic work before he was able to practice with the team. He had arrived in Austin over the weekend, missing both summer sessions, after signing with Texas on National Signing Day out of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M.

The 6-foot-5, 280-pound lineman will fill out a defensive line group that struggled some with depth this spring. However, Chisholm, who worked out on his own in Georgia this summer, has some work to do in order to catch up with the unit.

Ranked the No. 22 JUCO defensive tackle, he recorded 4.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss last season.
