EDIT: Coleman is now slated to visit Texas tonight and tomorrow. Also expected to visit Texas A&M and Alabama. ** Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman is a major target for the Longhorns. Coleman, a Phenix City, Ala. native, caught 56 passes for 708 yards and five TDs this past season for an Auburn offense that struggled most of the year. He’s considered the no. 1 prospect in the portal overall. Coleman, who is 6-3, 200+ pounds, is said to be heavily considering Texas, Texas A&M and Alabama. Coleman will likely visit all three schools before making a decision. Texas, of course, has a major need at the position with two of its top fou…

Can Colin Simmons break the Texas freshman sack record? Colin Simmons tremendous start for the Longhorns has placed him squarely on freshman record watch five games into the season. After recording seven tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in the 35-13 win over Mississippi State, Simmons is quickly rising up the freshman records in two categories - sacks and tackles for loss. Simmons has six tackles for loss and four sacks through five games, along with 18 tackles. With a fully healthy season and at least eight more games remaining, Simmons is on track to seriously threaten two records that have stood since 1975 and 1993 on the 40 Acres. O…

Can Texas hoops be Miami Canes 2022-23? When Rodney Terry assembled his staff, and Frank Haith was included on the staff, the team and play style that was referenced was the 2022-23 Miami Hurricanes team that knocked out Texas in the Elite Eight. That Hurricanes team had four guards that could put up 15-20 points on a given night, multiple guards that could go get/create a shot when half court offense breaks down against quality defense, terrific floor spacing due to five guards that shot 35% or better from three and the quickness/feel for the game to attack from multiple spots and from anywhere on the floor. They controlled the pace, was a low turnover rate te…

At this time, we feel it's highly likely that Temple defensive end Jamarion Carlton picks Baylor instead of Texas, Texas Tech and others.

We will see just how cautious Texas is this upcoming weekend against UTEP, but there is a real possibility Texas sidelines a couple of key pieces this weekend. *** Steve Sarkisian told media on Monday RB Tre Wisner would be considered DOUBTFUL for Saturday's game. Wisner has been dinged up for a couple of weeks, and these non-conference games are looked at as an opportunity to get fully healthy. “I’d probably say today, he’s doubtful,” Sarkisian said. “I’m not ruling him out. At this juncture of the season, I’m just not in a rush to push guys back out there if they’re not as close to 100% or closer. I just know how long this thing goes. I know what it’s goi…

CDC spoke to a gang of reporters following appearances on Sirius XM and The Finebaum Show. He held court for about 15 minutes in the lobby of the hotel. Some notes: * CDC said Texas is not thinking about cutting sports or personnel at this time, although all expenses will continue to be critiqued. He also acknowledged the football conundrum. It drives the majority of the revenue but comes with high costs and impacts the equitable balance of Title IX legislation in academic insitutions. How Texas navigates that is to be determined. "We'll adapt. We'll get the rules and we'll adapt and do the best we can," he said. * CDC reiterated his goal to be th…

Steve Sarkisian will be in the market for a new running backs coach. Chad Scott is out as the Longhorns RB coach OTF can confirm – Football Scoop was the first to report. Scott was hired by Steve Sarkisian on February 19, 2025 and his tenure ends only ten months in. The Texas running back room was rather lackluster for a number of reasons in 2025, and as the team looks to reset its room in 2026, they will be looking for a new coach to command the room.

Texas is expected to hire Chad Scott as its next running backs coach, sources tell On Texas Football. Scott’s name was first reported as a possibility by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports. Scott, 43, spent the last six seasons at West Virginia. He was the team’s offensive coordinator for the last two. He is a North Carolina grad, playing running back for the Tar Heels and is a native of Plant City, Fla. We’ll have more as the story develops. View full news story

Change of OV plans for 4-star Kade Phillips OnTexasFootball was informed by 4-star defensive back Kade Phillips (Missouri City, Texas/Hightower) that he will no longer make a previously scheduled official visit to Texas A&M this weekend. When OTF was by Hightower High in May the feeling received by those close to the recruitment is that the Aggies were slowly fading. Texas A&M has four cornerback/nickel backs committed in the class already as well. That leaves LSU June 14-16 and Texas June 21-23 as the programs in which the decision will ultimately come from unless Baylor pulls off a huge upset. Tigers defensive backs coach Corey Raymond is …

Sarkisian: Changes Are Coming to Texas Offense Another day, another mention of the Texas offense and its struggles so far in 2025. The hot and cold nature of this unit has no doubt been frustrating, and following the Kentucky game last Saturday, there has not been a louder conversation regarding Sark and his abilities as a play caller since his arrival in Austin. Even with a W in the pocket of the Longhorns on the flight back to Austin, the Texas offense returned with only 178 yards of total offense and one of the more dismal performances in recent Texas memory. However, when the team boards the plane for their trip out to Starkville this weekend, they will…

These changes, which are set to be approved by the Texas Board of Regents, will not affect many fans who are able to make it to DKR. But they will effect how millions of fans from home view Texas home games on television. According to a proposal, Texas will move the national television broadcast booth from the West side of the stadium to the East side, essentially reversing the view fans have always had from home. The move will coincide with additional suites on the West side of the stadium, improvements to Belmont Hall, and the movement of credentialed media from the West side to the corner of the South End Zone within a new structure. Long story shor…

For those on Twitter you probably have scrolled by some tweets of mine calling for the return of the long ball and explosivity of the Texas offense to rise under Arch Manning. I didn't think siding on the "Texas will be more explosive with Arch Manning" train was such a radical take, yet there was some resistance by folks on the timeline. As a result, I went down a minor rabbit hole to explore the type of ceiling this Texas team could have with Manning as the full time quarterback. *** Texas Had Big Plays in 2024 Yes. Yes they did. I liken the 2024 Texas offense to that of Ichiro back in the 2000s. Ichiro led the MLB in hits seven different seaso…

Gerry, Rod and I attended the Texas Exes event here in Dallas this afternoon. Couple of notes from Chris Del Conte’s speech to the group. - CDC says he tries to be at every home event, or at least one game of every series, no matter the sport. It’s his way to always show support for the student-athletes. - When it comes to firing/hiring coaches, he explained it pretty straight-forward. He prefers to never have an “open” search for a coach. He thinks all that does is lead to an open season and a level of chaos. So he tries to combine firing/hiring all within a 24-hour window. - CDC was asked to define what is different between Texas and other universiti…

CJ Baxter Eyes Return A Year After Season-Ending Knee Injury Texas player availability was late Thursday afternoon, where several big name stars were present for their first time with the media in fall camp. None with a more looming storyline or higher intrigue than 3rd-year running back CJ Baxter and his return from a busted knee around this time in 2024. "I feel great," Baxter said when asked if he was back to 100%. "'One day at a time' is the saying I like to say every day. Just one day at a time. Coach Sark and the training staff, they wouldn't put me in if I wasn't ready." Of course one of the most exciting bits of news coming out of scrimmage one…

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 …

The Texas staff will be hitting the Houston area pretty heavily this week as Gerry and I have been mentioned over the last week. Kenny Baker and Terry Joseph are both already in the Houston area as of late last week. Joseph actually stopped by Shadow Creek on Friday and met with Cobey Sellers prior to his commitment to Texas A&M over the weekend. Texas offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Kyle Flood is expected in Port Neches Groves this evening to see 4-star OL prospect Jackson Christian participate in his spring game. Of course, OTF believes this recruitment is down to Texas and Texas A&M at the moment. Texas QB coach AJ Milwee is schedu…

Some of the major takeaways from today’s press availability. - Goals for the Texas offense have not changed. It is to be “the most explosive offense in the country.” - When asked about red zone issues a year ago, he said that the coaches are aware of those and that elite offenses have to be elite situationally. And that’s the goal. - He said he thinks he goes 8 deep on the OL. That includes the starters and Neto Umeozulu, Cole Hutson and Malik Agbo. - Connor Robertson is the back-up center. - Mentioned that Tashard Choice is a great coach in part because of his attention to pass protection for RBs. - On defense, Pete Kwiatkowski there’s real…
