- Many of you asked if Texas will pursue Tennessee players due to Tony Vitello leaving for the San Francisco Giants. I wouldn’t expect that to happen when it comes to the portal or recruiting. When it comes to the portal, in baseball, players aren’t eligible mid-year (unless they are a HS senior like Jonah Williams). On the recruiting side, I believe Texas is happy with what they have OR they feel like the ones they’d want are pro type guys. - For the same reasons above, I wouldn’t expect anything to happen with Florida neither. - As for the team side of things, it sounds like pitching is easily going to be the strength of this year’s team. Texas has…

Longhorns Monitoring 2026 CB Johnathan Joseph Jr. *** Texas hosted a new 2026 Houston Stratford cornerback target Johnathan Joseph Jr. for an unofficial visit on Saturday for the Vanderbilt game. The son of legendary Houston Texan CB Johnathan Joseph Sr., the Houston Stratford star has been seeing time at cornerback, safety and wide receiver in 2025 and has been rising up boards as a senior eval. Joseph was recently at UNLV and holds an offer from Boston College, UCF and Arkansas State as well. Texas cornerbacks coach Mark Orphey will be in Houston on Wednesday and Thursday making rounds in the area and will be stopping by Stratford to check back in w…

Texas has hired Josh Brunson away from Memphis, according to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports. Brunson was the director of recruiting at Memphis. Brunson is said to have strong ties to the state of Georgia. Brandon Harris is the general manager for Texas. He was elevated to that position from Director of Recruiting by Steve Sarkisian in January of 2024. Harris received a sizable raise and extension from Sarkisian just last month. Other key off-field personnel for the Horns include Chris Gilbert, special assistant to the head coach, John Michael Jones, director of player personnel, and Taylor Searels, director of recruiting.

Barring an unforeseen change of the highest degree, the Texas Longhorns will enter the 2025 season with the same head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator for the fifth consecutive season. Quite the accomplishment considering the success of the program of the last two seasons and the job opportunities available to other assistants in Austin. Steve Sarkisian's assistants have been plucked away as the head coach at Temple, the head coach at Nevada, and a move back to the alma mater of another. Of course, there was also the flirtation of joining the Dallas Cowboys for Tashard Choice as recently as last week as well. …

Texas baseball will see the first pitch of the season in just nine days from the time of this article. The Longhorns will head to Arlington for the season opening tournament where they will face Louisville on Friday, Ole Miss on Saturday and Oklahoma State to wrap the trip up on Sunday. Arlington has not been friendly to Texas Baseball in the last – well, name a time – but the new era of Jim Schlossnagle could indicate a change of fortune at the home of the Texas Rangers. We will see. But until first pitch is thrown, there are plenty of thoughts leading the way for me about this upcoming season. Let's get to it. *** 1st Inning: Sticks Will Be Hot …

Four-star OOS DL locks in Texas OV Another out of state top target has locked in an official visit date to Texas. OnTexasFootball 4-star+ defensive lineman Dylan Berymon (Monroe, La./Ouachita Parish) tells OTF he has June 13-15th locked in for his official visit to Texas. Berymon, 6-2 and 320-pounds, also has Houston scheduled for June 6-8 and Texas A&M June 20-22 with schools such as LSU, Ole Miss, USC, Missouri and Mississippi State in the hunt for OV's.

A new DL name to know (OV set) The Texas Longhorns are making a serious run at OTF 4-star+ defensive lineman and Oregon commit Tomuhini Topui (Santa Ana, Calif./Mater Dei). Texas defensive line coach and staff members were by Mater Dei High in January to see the 6-foot-3, 320-pounder and are working to make up ground on one of the nation's top defensive lineman. OnTexasFootball was told by a long time source on the West Coast that Topui is scheduled to make an official visit to Texas June 13-15th, a weekend prior to an Oregon OV. USC is also making a serious run at the Orange County playmaker on the defensive line. One more DL name to know ...…

Mississippi 4-star DL locks in Texas OV The Texas Longhorns are taking big swings at many of the top rated defensive linemen in the Deep South in the 2026 cycle. Time to add another official visitor. OnTexasFootball 4-star+ versatile defensive lineman JaReylan McCoy (Tupelo, Miss./High) has bounced Texas A&M for the Texas Longhorns on his visit list. The 6-foot-6, 245-pounder is expected on campus in Austin later this spring, and has added a June 13-15th official visit to Texas per a source close to the recruitment. The one-time LSU pledge will make OV's to Auburn (May), Florida (May 30-June 2), Ole Miss (June 6-8th) and LSU (June 20-22nd) along with …

Happy Friday. We have made it to essentially the weekend, which means you can go ahead and throw the burger icon up on the slack machine and kick your feet as 16 March Madness games tipoff throughout the afternoon. But before we officially get to the weekend, a few nuggets from the week on the team front and recruiting front. *** On The 40 Acres Texas wraps up spring break this week and most players will return to campus Sunday to prepare for the spring season opening practice on Tuesday. Of course, the Texas Pro Day will also be held Tuesday, March 25 as well. The Pro Day will kickoff at 1:00 p.m. and the expectation is all 32 teams will be repre…

EDGE Colin Simmons to Add More to Pass Rushing Bag Under LaAllen Clark Texas EDGE Colin Simmons spoke with the media on Wednesday for the first time this spring. Following up on a phenomenal freshman campaign, Simmons is looking to add to his pass rushing arsenal with the addition of new edge rushing coach LaAllen Clark. When speaking with the media, Simmons singled out Clark's instruction as something that gets him excited for what is to come this fall. "Amazing," Simmons said of Clark since his arrival. "I love him, dog. That's my guy. He has taught me a lot since him (got) here." Simmons, the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year for 2024, recorded n…

Texas Recruiting: On watch this week The Texas staff will be out of state for the most part this week seeing top targets in 2026 and getting eyes on 2027 prospects. Members of the staff are expected to be in California (this week) and across the Southeast Region (next two weeks). To start the week, OnTexasFootball looks at some recruiting topics we are following as the staff hits the road out of state. Will Texas offer Sunshine State DB ... Mark Orphey has been in contact with Cocoa (Fla.) High versatile 2026 DB CJ Hester for weeks. The New Texas cornerbacks coach is expected to stop by the Space Coast high school in May, and making a push is a possib…

Texas made six new scholarship offers yesterday. One to a class of 2026 running back, Carsyn Baker from the Atlanta area. The other five offers went to members of the class of 2027. In all, four of those 2027 offers hail from Southern California. They include: DB Gavin Williams OL Lincoln Mageo WR Demare Dezeurn OL Lucas Rhoa ** All this proves to me is that Sark and his staff have no plans of slowing the strategy they have deployed since arriving in Austin. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Texas is clearly a national recruiting program with a particular focus on its home state, the southeast and southern California an…

It has become a trend each year to wonder around this time of the year, when the Texas class will begin to heat up. Recruiting is fun, but there are spurts throughout the year where it certainly feels like you are crawling through a school zone in terms of excitement and momentum. The Texas staff is no stranger to that over the last four cycles as well. The monotonous day to day of the winter and spring seasons leads to some fireworks at the turn of July seemingly every year. It has become the blueprint for recruiting classes that have ended in the top five in each of the previous four cycles. As the official visit circus of June inches closer, I wanted to…

Texas' biggest out of state wins under Sarkisian The Friday commitment of 4-star cornerback Hayward Howard Jr. out of Edna Karr High in New Orleans got me thinking about the biggest out of state wins for the Longhorns in the Steve Sarkisian era. Florida There have been a few very big recruiting wins in the state of Florida for the Texas staff to date, with more on the way in the 2026 cycle. Cedric Baxter Jr., RB, Orlando/Edgewater (2023 class) This was a monster recruiting win at the time with Baxter being the No. 1 or 2 ranked running back in the 2023 cycle. The one-time FSU verbal was a strong signal of what was to come for Sarkisian and staff in Flo…

Texas 2025 Schedule: Must win, toughest game, sneaky game, etc... Last week on Coffee & Football, the toughest game environment and trap game Texas will face this season were topics in the chat. That gor me thinking about how I would define the Texas 2025 schedule by opponents. Here is my breakdown for the 2025 season ... as it stands today: Toughest game environment ... This was a topic on Coffee & Football last week in the chat. My opinion is it will be Ohio State. There is already hate and vitriol coming from the Buckeyes fan base on an annual basis toward marquee opponents, but this one will carry some special meaning. Texas won at Ohio Stat…

Texas June OV's by state: Another Peach State OV added OnTexasFootball currently has 52 prospects scheduled for official visits in June with the newest visitor locked in being Traeviss Stevenson (Quitman, Ga./Brooks County). With Stevenson becoming the 10th official visitor scheduled from the state of Georgia, OTF decided it would be a good time to break down the official visitors by state. There are 13 states represented on the OV list. State of Texas official visitors (17)... K.J. Edwards, RB, Carthage (Texas) High OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star+ OV date: June 20-22 Jalen Lott, WR/ATH, Frisco (Texas) Panther Creek OnTexasFootball ranking…

I sat down with Jaxon Shipley for this morning’s Saturday Conversation. Often overshadowed by his older brother Jordan, Jaxon forged his own path at Texas. Jaxon is third all-time in career receptions at Texas, and he, believe it or not, has the highest passer rating in UT history (he was 4-4 with three TDs, including one to Blaine Irby against the Aggies). But more than that, in his answers you’ll hear and sense an incredibly humble, earnest and kind person who is very much still a Longhorn fan at heart like all of us. Hope you enjoy it. ** Texas softball survived. I’m not sure there’s a better word for it. Multiple times last night, it appe…

Texas Hoops: Sean Miller interview with Jon Rothstein Sean Miller sat down for a 30-minute interview with College basketball reporter Jon Rothstein earlier this week. This is a thorough interview, and gets into what Miller and staff are thinking about this roster construction, current state of college hoops, the move to Texas, the SEC and more. Completing the 2025-26 roster ... Texas has two scholarship spots remaining. One spot is a lock to be used. Doubtful Texas will use the 13th spot at the present. That spot will be one more guard addition. That guard could be an international prospect or a high school prospect, depending on how some international possib…

Texas 2025 scheduled: Ranked from easiest to toughest When looking at the Longhorns 2025 schedule, I started ranking them in my head on one of the Coffee&Football shows around a question from the chat. The main question was then how do you rank them, and by what would cause the ranking. For me, it came down to when the game is, where the game is, the magnitude of the game and the opposing quarterback and offense. Here is my ranking of the schedule easiest to toughest. 12. UTEP 2024: 3-9 in Conference USA Close losses: Southern Utah 27-24 OT, at Louisiana Tech 14-10, Middle Tennessee 20-13 Ranked losses: at Tennessee 56-0 vs. Power 4 oppo…

The Texas baseball team took it on the chin this weekend. And perhaps deservedly so. The Horns played sloppy ball in both games against UTSA and the problems came home to roost. The lack of timely hitting, free bases awarded by the pitching staff and some spotty play in the field all combined to send the Horns home earlier than expected. But overall it was a good year. The Horns won the regular season championship and most importantly Jim Schlossnagle reestablished Texas as a true contender in college baseball. Recruiting is going extremely well and baseball looks like it’s in good hands for the long haul. ** The Texas football staff made 21 offer…

Top 2027 In-State Cornerback Says Longhorns are in His Top 3 One of the top prospects on campus on Sunday for the Elite Camp + Pool Bash was 2027 Euless Trinity CB John Meredith III. Despite not participating in the on-field camp setting, Meredith was singled out by a number of prospects Sunday as someone they were eager to hang around with while on their trips. The 6-foot-2-inch cornerback holds a 21.7 200M time from this spring and boasts an early ranking in the top five of national prospects according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He spoke with OnTexasFootball following his afternoon on campus to discuss his interest in the Longhorns and relations…

All of the official visitors of the first week of June have made their way home to wrap up the weekend. The weekend has already added three names to the 2026 commitment class – DL Dylan Berymon, WR Kohen Brown and K Jake Collett. Yet, On Texas Football is of the belief there will be more movement to come from the visitors on campus this weekend. All in all, a tremendous start to the month of June. *** Ezavier Crowell, RB, Jackson (Ala.) High OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ Crowell was the lone official visitor that was not present at the airport in the time that I spent patrolling the luggage lines this afternoon. Texas did have KJ Lacey as a k…

Eleven commitments by June 9. I didn’t think Texas would be into double digits until later this month. I think the early number being higher is indicative of a Texas program being a more sought after one by recruits than in previous years. But Texas is far from done. And really, the Horns only have nine position-player commitments given the two specialists (one kicker and a deep snapper) among the pledges. ** I like both Dylan Berymon and Kohen Brown as pick-ups in this class. Berymon fits a particular role at Texas. He is an over the ball defensive tackle. It’s a position that can be tough to fill. For instance, Sydir Mitchell was expec…

With about four hours to go here, still feeling good vibes here for the Longhorns. Matthews, a top 100 player in the country, is expected to announce at 7et/6ct today. South Carolina, Miami and Clemson also under consideration. View full news story
