One of the top recruiters for Steve Sarkisian, Tashard Choice also interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason.

For the second week in a row, Steve Sarkisian’s Texas football staff has taken a hit as the Detroit Lions lured away the highly respected running backs coach Tashard Choice on Thursday. The news that one of the Longhorns’ top recruiters is leaving comes on the heels of safeties coach Blake Gideon’s departure to become the defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech.

Lions assistant head coach Scottie Montgomery also will coach WRs this season after working with RBs the past two years.
