How would I load a Texture2d in another class?

1

here’s my code for the player class.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Numerics;
using System.Reflection.Metadata;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;

namespace My_Game.Content.Sprites
{
    internal class Player : Sprites
    {
        public Player() {
            setDefaultVariables();
        }
        public Player(ContentManager content)
        {
            loadTexture(content);
        }


        private void setDefaultVariables() {

            position.X = Global.WIDTH / 2 - 8;
            position.Y = Global.HEIGHT / 2 - 8;

            color = Color.White;

            speed = 200;

        }

        private void loadTexture(ContentManager content)
        {
            texture = content.Load<Texture2D>("Gold Idle");
        }


        public void update(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            var kstate = Keyboard.GetState();
            float deltaTime = (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;

            //moving the player
            if (kstate.IsKeyDown(Keys.W))
            {
                position.Y -= speed * deltaTime;
            }
            if (kstate.IsKeyDown(Keys.S))
            {
                position.Y += speed * deltaTime;
            }
            if (kstate.IsKeyDown(Keys.A))
            {
                position.X -= speed * deltaTime;
            }
            if (kstate.IsKeyDown(Keys.D))
            {
                position.X += speed * deltaTime;
            }

            //collsisions with side of screen
            if (position.X <= 0)
            {
                position.X = 0;
            }
            if (position.X >= Global.WIDTH - texture.Width)
            {
                position.X = Global.WIDTH - texture.Width;
            }
            if (position.Y <= 0)
            {
                position.Y = 0;
            }
            if (position.Y >= Global.HEIGHT - texture.Height)
            {
                position.Y = Global.HEIGHT - texture.Height;
            }
        }
    }
}

For some reason the texture is set to null when I call it in the collisions section.
I put the first player constructor in the Game1 class, and I put the other in the LoadContent function.

Change this to

public Player(ContentManager content) : this()

And instantiate with this constructor, once.
