Bang!! The one we have been waiting since the beginning of the portal window, Cam Coleman commits to Texas! The No. 1 player and No. 1 wide receiver in the portal window ends up committing to the Texas Longhorns after a lengthy portal recruitment that consisted of trips to Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Alabama. Coleman was in Tuscaloosa last night and arrived back home Sunday morning and wasted no time making his decision. The Longhorns’ recruiting efforts pay off after hosting the first campus visit for Coleman. Arch Manning played a large role in the recruitment as well and now will have a new top-end wide receiver to throw to in 2026. Coleman will j…

In a complete shocker, Boise State kicked the ball around the field and lost 31-7 at South Florida after the best player that ever wore the uniform graduated. And Dylan Raiola still drops the ball at, or slightly below his waist, on every throw. oof ---- Tonight we have Auburn at Baylor ... a quality game with plenty of possible implications for Hugh Freeze if the Tigers don't look improved. And Georgia Tech at Colorado. The Yellowjackets will grind one out in Boulder IMO View full news story

I spent a lot of Friday tracking down some of the specifics that went into the surprising decision from Texas running back Tre Wisner to enter the portal the day after Christmas. While I had been consistent throughout the month in my reporting of Wisner's impending decision, do not get me wrong, the choice was a surprise. And it was upsetting to a degree. A former three-star recruit who earned a spot on the field through determination and opportunity, Wisner never looked back in the 2024 when he rushed for 1000+ yards and etched his name into Longhorn Lore with performances against Texas A&M and Oklahoma. I could go on about Wisner, but ultimately the …

NC State transfer running back Hollywood Smothers committed to Alabama almost a week ago now. But he never signed his NIL deal with the Crimson Tide. Smothers is now expected to be on the Texas campus Saturday and Sunday, according to On Texas Football. Smothers rushed for 939 yards and six TDs in 2025 and also made 37 receptions for another score. He's 5-11, 195 pounds and has breakaway speed. He had five runs of more than 50 yards this past season. The Longhorns lost their top two running backs to the portal - Tre Wisner and CJ Baxter - as well as a pair of back ups, Jerrick Gibson and Rickey Stewart, so replenishing the RB room has been a priority for th…

I wrote yesterday morning that there is no magical offensive guard in the portal who is slated to become a starter for Texas. That if such a person enters, it’ll have to come from the rosters of either Miami or Indiana. Yet about an hour later, we learned that Georgia OL Jamal Merriweather was on campus. Many folks assumed this was a big deal. It wasn’t. Merriweather, in his third year at Georgia, saw the 13th most snaps of all Georgia OLs in 2025. He was a potential depth piece for Texas or any major school. Nothing more, nothing less. He committed to Miami later in the day. My point is this: Texas will continue to comb the transfer por…

We'll use this thread to track all portal news that pertains to Texas baseball. I'll start with the news I broke yesterday: Texas landed a commitment from Penn pitcher Eli Trop. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound RHP has one year of eligibility remaining. Trop has a 3.07 career ERA, along with 82 strikeouts during those three years. I know some outlets reported this happened a couple of weeks ago, but Trop originally committed in the fall, as Ivy Leagues don’t allow a fifth year. So he entered his name into the portal in October. We've sat on it until he was okay with us going public with it after the coaching change.

We are monitoring multiple Longhorn players who could enter the portal this week. This group includes existing starters and key back-ups. In fact, we believe at least one existing starter is likely to hit the portal. We will not release that name in case he ultimately decides to return. But at this point, we think the player has already made that decision. We are also monitoring the NFL decisions of Cam Williams, Trey Moore, DJ Campbell and Michael Taaffe. Of the group, we are only highly confident in Taaffe likely returning. In short, today could be a heavy news day for the future of the Longhorns. View full news story
