    The Texas Longhorns reported to training camp Thursday ready to leave behind the smoldering wreckage of their dismal 2010, but even the fresh start on a new season came with the news they'll be without yet another veteran receiver.

    Coach Mack Brown said senior Malcolm Williams, a well-liked player who was also a key contributor on special teams, left the team for personal reasons.

    "Malcolm's got some family issues," Brown said without elaborating. "He's been an outstanding player for us. He had some tough things happen. I think this summer he was planning on playing ... I want what's best for him."

    Williams played in 39 games, starting 18. He had 1,188 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. His departure further depletes a group of receivers that will also be missing junior Marquise Goodwin, the U.S. national long jump champion who is skipping the 2011 football season to concentrate on the track world championships and a chance to qualify for the 2012 Olympics.
