Texas completed its first week of training camp on Saturday. The Longhorns were on the field exactly four weeks ahead of the season opener against Ohio State before coach Steve Sarkisian gave the team a day off on Sunday. Combining what I saw during the portions of practice open to the media Wednesday and Thursday with what the OTF staff has heard and reported on from closed sessions Friday and Saturday, there’s one thing on my mind at every position group on the roster. I’ll start with the position groups on offense. Quarterback Whether it’s Matthew Caldwell’s experience, competitive spirit or professionalism that has stood out most doesn’t matte…

Updates on the 2026 Class *** Five-star Texas OT commit John Turntine III lived up to the ranking in his scrimmage on Thursday against Allen. In pass protection specifically, Turntine was nails. Afterwards, Turntine told me that he is entering his senior season around 270 pounds with hopes to get up to about 280-285 by the time he enrolls at Texas in January for the spring semester. This was also the first time I have been able to speak with Turntine since his commitment on July 4th. I asked him when he officially knew Texas was going to be the pick, and how he alerted the staff of his decision. "I always had an idea," Turntine said about his dec…

Even outsid…

What does 2026 have in store for you? “Man, ever since the season ended, it's been crazy, right? Like not going to football and not having winter workouts. It's also been really nice. And, you know, kind of just get to be home more, be more present with my wife, with the dogs. And it's been really nice to kind of just lay back and focus on that for a little bit. Because, I mean, ever since I've been married, it's just been football, football, football. So just being able to kind of hang out with them more and then tr…

AUSTIN, Texas — Longhorns defensive lineman Hero Kanu (pronounced kah-new) had an NFL decision to make this offseason, with some services placing the German defensive lineman as high as a Day 2 draft selection. The one-time Ohio State Buckeye made a major impression in his first season at Texas, tallying 30 tackles, including four tackles for a loss and two sacks. So with playing on Sundays well within reach, why did Kanu opt to come back to the Forty Acres for one more year? “We have a saying … Coach (Kenny) Baker always tells me, just to keep me humble: you never arrive,” Kanu told reporters on Wednesday after practice. “It doesn't matter what you do, you nev…

Bell walked onto the field noticeably gingerly, and without his helmet. Bell eventually put on a helmet after throwing a few passes and talking with some staff members. It puts into doubt how active the freshman signal caller will be today when the teams go into live action. We'll keep you posted on OTF. View full news story

While the recruiting calendar is ever-changing thanks to the incompetence of the NCAA, one thing about the offseason has remained a constant: Texas waiting until the month of June to start hosting official visitors. With the Longhorns slated to host their first official visit weekend of the 2027 cycle, OnTexasFootball figured it’s time to do a deep dive into Texas’ summer official visits and the rate at which visitors turn into commits. *This list only includes recruiting cycles in the Sarkisian era (2022-present) and only includes June official visits and zero in-season OVs* The Longhorns hosted 194 June official visits across the 2022-26 cycles and signed…
