AUSTIN – Tom Herman announced following Saturday’s first fall scrimmage that Texas redshirt freshman wide receiver Reggie Hemphill-Mapps returned to the practice field Saturday with no restrictions.

Hemphill-Mapps left practice on Thursday after experiencing dizziness. The Manvel product was held out of contact segments of Friday’s practice as a precaution, but Herman said Hemphill-Mapps was “good to go” on Saturday.

Herman said the training staff will continue to monitor Hemphill-Mapps. The symptoms, Herman said on Thursday, appeared to be similar to a migraine headache.

That intrigued the trainers, Herman said, due to Hemphill-Mapps having not previously had an issue with migraines.

“The trainers have told me that it is unusual for a 19-year-old kid to experience his first migraine ever,” Herman said. “It’s not unheard of either. We’ll monitor it and see if they come back, but I think [Hemphill-Mapps is] pretty much out of the woods as of now.

A player who Herman said earlier in camp is “explosive in and out of breaks” and possesses “good ball skills and [a] good feel for the game,” Hemphill-Mapps is someone Herman pointed to as a possible breakout player on offense for the Longhorns. While Texas is deep at the slot position, Hemphill-Mapps added the weight he needed to add in the offseason in order to become a factor in the mix at a position that’s critical to Herman’s offense.

With Hemphill-Mapps out of the lineup, the Longhorns were able to find more work for redshirt freshman Davion Curtis, who ran with the No. 2 offense during the portion of Friday’s practice that was open to the media, behind Devin Duvernay and Armanti Foreman. The slot rotation will go back to being a four-deep platoon if Hemphill-Mapps’ return to the field if for good.

It should be since Herman feels like the training staff has a better feel for how to handle the 2016 signee going forward.

“At least we know if he gets a pretty sharp headache he won’t be as nervous about it,” Herman said. “We’ll be able to treat it a little bit better.”
