Fifth-year offensive lineman Colt Hutson and fifth-year defensive tackle Hero Kanu will both be available for the No. 6 Texas Longhorns for Saturday’s matchup against the No. 21 LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge after they were removed from the pregame SEC player availability report released 90 minutes before kickoff.

On Thursday and Friday, Hutson was listed as questionable and Kanu was listed as probable.

In last week’s win over then-No. 18 Missouri, junior wide receiver Cam Coleman was available, but did not play. Junior edge Colin Simmons was able to go for 18 snaps. The expectation is that Coleman and Simmons will have larger roles against the Tigers. Sophomore cornerback Kade Phillips was also limited in Columbia.

For LSU, standout linebacker Whit Weeks is a game-time decision after fracturing his leg against Texas A&M in late September.

The Longhorns and Tigers are set for a 6:30 p.m. Central kickoff at Tiger Stadium on ESPN.
