The team will be back on the practice field today. Most players returned to Austin yesterday afternoon/evening with a few set to return this morning. We are still monitoring the injuries of wide receiver Isaiah Bond and offensive tackle Cameron Williams. Bond did not practice on Monday following the Clemson game. Williams returned to the field but it was a light workout. Running back Tre Wisner, offensive tackle Kelvin Banks and center Jake Majors are all expected to be healthy for the Peach Bowl next Wednesday. ** Saturday Dec. 28 is the final day for players to enter the portal if they have completed their seasons by Dec. 23.

Texas hosts Sam Houston State next September. Not only will the Bearkats have a new coach, they’ll also have a new QB.

AUSTIN, Texas – The smell of cut grass and sounds of pads popping was what media members in the Texas beat walked into this morning at Denius Field as Texas began practice session No. 1 of the 2026 spring. I don't need to butter this article up much, we all know how much excitement there is going into year two of Arch Manning as the starting quarterback for the Horns. Especially given the portal additions and the returning prospects on campus. Texas added two 1st Team All-Conference running backs, the top wide receiver in the portal, a future NFL Draft pick at right tackle, a 1st Team All-ACC linebacker and an B1G Honorable Mention at cornerback. There is talent…

No. 11-seed Texas is one of the lowest remaining seeded programs in the NCAA Tournament after two days of action, and on Saturday night the Longhorns will look to keep their season alive against No. 3-seed Gonzaga in the Round of 32 (6:10 p.m. CT/TBS). Here's what UT head basketball coach Sean Miller said about facing Gonzaga. On facing Gonzaga: “We’re obviously thrilled to still be here in Portland and advancing in this tournament. Obviously, we recognize the greatness of the Gonzaga program and the consistency year in and year out. And, you know, I think knowing that they're our next opponent, there's a beyond a healthy level of respect between myself …

No. 11-seed Texas will face off with No. 2-seed Purdue in the Sweet 16 on Thursday, March 26th from San Jose, Calif. The game will tipoff at 6:10 p.m. CT on CBS. The Longhorns will look to stay hot after advancing from the First Four with back-to-back wins over No. 6-seed BYU and No. 3-seed Gonzaga. Texas last faced Purdue in the 2022 NCAA Tournament Round of 32, an 81-71 Boilermakers win. The Longhorns are 2-1 all-time against Purdue, with both of its wins coming in back-to-back seasons in 2018 and '19. “We’re obviously thrilled to advance, be a part of the Sweet 16," Texas head coach Sean Miller said after the Longhorns' win in the Round of 32 Sa…

From the Road: 5-star Easton Royal; future 5-star star visiting soon and more From somewhere in the Southeast Region - OnTexasFootball is on the road this week seeing some top targets and prospects. The first stop of the week was Monday in New Orleans to see 5-star wide receiver commit Easton Royal (New Orleans, La./Brother Martin). The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder made an unofficial visit to Ole Miss last weekend. It was his fifth or six time to Oxford, as the Rebels have been recruiting him as long as any program. This weekend, Royal and his mom will make their first ever trip to Knoxville to check out Tennessee. While Tennessee's offensive scheme isn't neces…

AUSTIN, Texas — Week 2 of spring ball is underway as the Texas Longhorns have returned from spring break ready to get back to work. Steve Sarkisian spoke to media on Tuesday after the first practice. Here are five notable things Sark said. Injury updates — Kaliq Lockett out for the spring “Kaliq Lockett had to have surgery last week, so he'll be down the rest of spring as well as Kaden Scherer. So, you know, that's part of our sport unfortunately. Both surgeries went well, and we will get them back. We'll get Kaliq back earlier than Kaden. We’ll get Kaliq back here ready to go for the summer." *Sark added that both injuries were lower body. Gu…

There was a lot of talent on display at yesterday’s Texas pro day. The secondary group of Michael Taaffe, Manny Muhammad, and Jaylon Guilbeau was stout. The two linebackers - Anthony Hill and Trey Moore - were, too. DJ Campbell and Cole Hutson worked on the OL, Jack Endries at TE, and Cole Brevard, Travis Shaw, and Ethan Burke along the defensive front. Even back-up QB Matthew Caldwell tossed the ball around (and ran a 4.62 40 apparently) and deep snapper Lance St. Louis participated. As someone who has attended these events numerous times, what is eye-opening is the large numbers of players working out these days. There were years in the past the…

AUSTIN, Texas — Last week Steve Sarkisian said Texas star pass rusher Colin Simmons could “ruin every practice if I let him.” It’s a testament to Simmons’ development as he goes into year three on the Forty Acres, likely his contract season with the program ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft. But it begs the question … how does Sark keep Simmons from ruining practices while Simmons still gets the benefits of live reps. “I want to credit Colin, because there's a real level of maturity in him in year three that he would be the first to tell you wasn't there in year one at practice,” Sarkisian said on Tuesday after Texas’ seventh spring practice. “You know, in year one,…

We heard from four Texas players today after practice: Brandon Baker, Ryan Niblett, Trevor Goosby, and Ryan Wingo. Here are 11 notable things they said: Brandon Baker On moving inside to right guard: “It’s been a great adjustment so far. I actually played a little bit of guard in high school, so it hasn't been too big an adjustment. Same thing with Coach Flood. A lot of his terminology, different sound bites, that takes a little bit of time to get used to. But for the most part, everything's been smooth, thankfully. I'm a football guy, and I love football, and I'm just thankful the opportunity to be out there on the field.” On other OL standi…

Four-star running back Micah Rhodes tells OTF he'll be back at Texas on April 18 for the Orange-White game. This will mark his third visit to the Forty Acres this spring. Last week, the Klein Oak product decommitted from Oklahoma after a visit to Austin. “It was a great visit,” the rising junior told OTF. “I went in the meetings, got to see how Coach (Jabbar) Juluke coaches the running backs, went out to practice. I saw a lot of great things about their running backs and how they're playing their freshman. Honestly, I think the freshman (Derrek Cooper) is gonna start to be honest with you, because the way he was performing at practice is just showing me it can be do…

AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Longhorns hit the transfer portal jackpot this offseason, securing a commitment from one of the top playmakers in the country in former Auburn wideout Cam Coleman. The Phenix City, Ala. native comes to Austin having tallied 93 catches for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns with the Tigers. A contract year catching passes from Arch Manning was something the 6-foot-3, 200-pound junior didn’t want to pass up. “Really just what they’ve been doing in the past, really just what they’ve got rolling here,” Coleman told reporters this week of what led him to Texas. “It’s just a really good fit for me. … “Really just putting more stuff on film, show…

Mikahi Allen, a 6-foot-1-inch, 220-pound linebacker out of Ramsey, New Jersey told OTF this morning he has locked in an official visit to Texas for the weekend of June 19.

AUSTIN, Texas — Three-star defensive lineman Jason Johnson visited Texas twice this spring, the most recent trek for the Longhorns’ final spring practice of the year. “Just seeing Coach (Kenny) Baker coach, that’s just a blessing,” the Atascocita DL told OTF after the visit. “I just like this whole atmosphere. I love Texas. … … “Coach Baker, that’s my dawg. He was just saying just keep being me. He really wants me to play for him. He wants me to make the best decision, even if it’s not for Texas.” Johnson already has an official visit scheduled with the Longhorns for June 19-21. He was recently at Vanderbilt and has additional OVs locked in for Houston, A…

Texas added four-star running back Noah Roberts to the fold on Friday afternoon, dipping back into Arizona for yet another running back after landing guys like Bijan Robinson and Christian Clark in the last six years. Basha head coach Chris McDonald spoke to OnTexas Football to share his thoughts on what Roberts brings to the table. “They're getting a complete back,” McDonald said. “And I think what separated Texas, just having my conversations with Noah, was just I think he feels like Sarkisian will do a real good job using backs that are really able to do everything. You know, running between the tackles, obviously he catches the ball really well out of the …

Texas added one of its biggest pieces to the 2027 class on Friday as four-star tight end Brock Williams committed to the Longhorns over Georgia and Ohio State. The Libertyville (Ill.) product is the eleventh pledge for the Longhorns. And like many others that preceded him thus far in the class, he impresses on and off the field. “He’s so versatile,” Libertyville head coach Tim Budge told OnTexasFootball. “He can do so many things. He can block, like an in-line tight end, he can catch passes out of the backfield. I mean we used him a little bit in Wildcat packages, he played a little quarterback in our playoff game last year. He threw a long pass that really helped u…

AUSTIN, Texas — UT tight end commitment Brock Williams was back on the Forty Acres last weekend for the first time since committing to the Longhorns on May 15th. It marked his fifth visit to Texas since November. “It was good actually being there and being able to recruit now that I’m committed,” Williams told reporters on his way out of Austin. “Recruiting is fun, that was definitely the highlight.” The Longhorns hosted a pair of Texas Tech commitments last weekend, including five-star defensive lineman Jalen Brewster and four-star linebacker Jhadyn Nelson. “I’m after all the Tech guys,” Williams said “All the Texas Tech guys, trying to get them to flip.…

Orange Lutheran (Calif.) OL Lucas Rhoa Talks Texas OV *** Texas was the fourth and final official visit for 2027 Orange Lutheran (Calif.) OL Lucas Rhoa during the month of June. The 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive lineman wrapped up his officials with Texas, after spending weekends at Oregon, UCLA and Penn State previously. OTF's @Hank South and @Gerry Hamilton caught up with Rhoa as he departed Austin on Sunday morning to get the latest on where the Longhorns stood in his recruitment following his three day visit to campus. -- Media: What were the highlights coming out of the weekend? Lucas Rhoa: It was a great weekend. I would say the hi…

Every year, Texas signs a recruit or two that are relatively highly ranked but don’t get the national attention they ultimately deserve. Graceson Littleton was that player a year ago. Perhaps Rocky Cummings or Kosi Okpala turns into that player in the 2026 recruiting class. In the class of 2027, I would pick defensive back Brandon Sherrard if he indeed selects the Longhorns later this morning over LSU and Oklahoma. Watching Sherrard move so effortlessly at his size is one of the reasons that I think he has a long-term future in football. But there’s more to him than that. The idea that he worked out for Texas after already receiving an offer from the L…

Georgia LB Raylen Wilson Speaks on Will Muschamp's Impact *** The beginning of day two at SEC Media Days belonged to the Dawgs. The 2x defending SEC Champions were on the podium, obviously headlined by Kirby Smart. My focus went to linebacker Raylen Wilson during the player breakouts. The 6-foot-1 linebacker totaled 74 total tackles for the Dawgs a year ago, including 2.5 sacks in 550 snaps in 2025. While Kirby Smart is the genius behind the Georgia defense, with DC Glenn Schumann sharing responsibilities as well. But there are other factors that have gone into making that side of the ball such a dominant force on the field over the last decade. O…

Torre Becton's Conditioning Program Continues to Push Competition *** Each and every offseason you hear about a change in the throughout the course of the months waiting for football to occur. A common theme that maybe isn't exactly new, but certainly emphasized more in 2026 is the desire for the competitive spirit to drive workouts in the summer. The Longhorns had a day in the sand pit on the backfields at the Denius practice fields prior to the 4th of July break that was focused solely on competition and team building. That competitive spirit returned earlier in the week with a scavenger hunt during a conditioning workout. There were 12 groups, head…

Huge month ahead for the No. 1 ranked Class of 2025 The No. 1 ranked recruiting class of 2025 has huge month ahead. Year two in a program is when a recruiting class normally takes a big step, and begins to litter a two-deep depth chart. Times are different due to the portal to be sure, vs. classes of a decade ago entering year two, but still begin to make their mark and fight for starting jobs in year two. OnTexasFootball takes a look at where the 2025 class stands entering year two on the Forty Acres. Note: * - projected starter in 2026 The 5-stars (recruiting industry) ... Jonah Williams, S - Injuries and playing two sports have truly limited Will…
