On Texas Football Forum

A place where fellow Longhorns can discuss Texas Football, Sports and Recruiting with one another and the staff of On Texas Football.

  1. At the very end of the contact window, Steve Sarkisian and Jeff Banks made a trip down to Houston to visit in-person with 2025 LB Javar Thomas. The 6-foot-3 linebacker at Aldine Nimitz HS saw his recruitment grow in the month of January with offers from UNLV, Washington, Colorado State and Houston. Texas also got involved in Thomas' recruitment when they officially tossed their hat in the ring last Friday on the visit from Sarkisian and Banks. Despite having visited campus on January 20 for the Junior Day, Thomas told me it was a total surprise when the offer arrived from the Texas staff. Continuing the trend of lengthy, long-levered linebacker prospects, …

  3. OnTexasFootball brings Texas fans some Thursday morning recruiting notes and nuggets. K.J. Lacey’s next visit to Texas OnTexasFootball spoke with a source very close to the recruitment of quarterback commitment K.J. Lacey Wednesday evening. Lacey, 6-0 and 180 pounds, cancelled an unofficial visit to Ole Miss last Saturday. The reason? That’s one visit the Texas staff pushed back on a little bit according to the source. Lacey instead attended the Senior Bowl, and spent some time chatting with T'Vondre Sweat. Ole Miss and Auburn are the two teams making the most effort to flip the OnTexasFootball 4-star signal caller. Alabama is not considered a…

  4. I always get asked how I would rank the Texas recruits within the recruiting class. I've been doing this for 20+ years now. I've gotten some right and some wrong. So don't take what I say or how I rank these players as the gospel. It's just another man's opinion based on what I've seen and what I've been told. 2024 Texas Recruits 1. WR, Ryan Wingo 2. Edge, Colin Simmons 3. S, Xavier Filsaime 4. OL, Brandon Baker 5. CB, Wardell Mack 6. OL, Daniel Cruz 7. RB, Christian Clark 8. TE, Jordan Washington 9. Edge, Zina Umeozulu 10. QB, Trey Owens 11.

  5. Tyler, Texas - When Texas offered OnTexasFootball 4-star running back Rickey Stewart at Junior Day January 20, it was truly the dream offer. A week later, head coach Steve Sarkisian and area recruiter Blake Gideon made a stop at Chapel Hill. “He (Sarkisian) was talking about that D (Demetrius Brisbon Jr.) and I are great players, and that he doesn’t come see guys in person that often,” Stewart told OnTexasFootball Wednesday. “He was saying how special we are. Smart kids, competitive. He said he wanted to see Demetrius and I back on campus this spring. We were just talking, and having a good time.” Running backs coach Tashard Choice has also been in consta…

  7. Former Texas analyst and TCU head coach Gary Patterson has found a new home in the state of Texas — Waco. Patterson has been hired by Baylor HC Dave Aranda to join the program as a senior level consultant. Quite the conundrum for both fan bases as both have a long history rooting for and against Patterson in the TCU-Baylor rivalry. View full news

  9. Five Longhorns in the first 59 picks. It would definitely make the Cowboys/Texans fans on here happy, that's for sure.

  10. Steve Sarkisian graciously spoke for 50 minutes this morning, covering topics from the 2024 class, transfer portal additions, coaching changes, recruiting department promotions and the mindset heading into the spring. I wanted to share some quick thoughts on the press conference as well as the key points that will carry us into the remainder of winter conditioning. 1. Brandon Harris' Promotion to GM Sarkisian spoke very highly of new General Manager Brandon Harris. Off the bat, you can tell there is a lot of trust between Sarkisian and Harris. Several times during the presser, Sarkisian mentioned being able to rely on Harris to sit in meetings or accomplish an i…

  11. Signing Day: OnTexasFootball 2024 Class Rankings Steve Sarkisian will step to the mic around 11 a.m. central today to talk at length about the 2024 recruiting class. The class of 22 is expected to finish as the No. 6 ranked class trailing only Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and Miami. Texas’ 22 signees are are tied with Ohio State for the least among the top 6 classes.

  13. On Texas Football Forum · Started by Texas fan in Georgia,

    who y’all got for Rookie of the year ? I think we would all love to see Bijan win it but I fear the playcalling of his now ex head coach and the playoff run from CJ Stroud will keep him from getting it.

  14. In my years following recruiting, I’ve seen top five classes not actually “fit” the needs of the program, either immediately or over the long haul. Texas has done that a few times in my career. The Horns would need more guys on offensive line yet come up short. Or perhaps they needed more guys in the secondary and it just didn’t get addressed as well as it could have. It’s typical, even for the very best classes, to have one or two positions that perhaps could have been better filled, or, worse, went completely unaddressed. Additionally, with the proliferation of the transfer…

  21. Continuing the earlier discussion that focuses on whether or not - or just how well - Texas has refilled the roster pipeline this recruiting campaign, here's a look at the defensive side of the ball. Edge Colin Simmons, Zina Umeozulu Player Grade: A Simmons is a true blue chip. His explosiveness is rare. So too is his ability to bend the edge. He has long arms and good motor and a willingness to play through contact. There's a reason he's the two-time defensive MVP of the state championship game and a five star prospect. Umeozulu is situated differently. Texas passed on a couple of higher ranked prospects to further pursue Umeozulu, who is just startin…
