The NCAA transfer portal has opened. There has already been a scurry of activity. As of this morning, Texas is expected to host between 10 and 13 portal prospects this weekend. The Longhorns may try to sign as many as 15 to 18 players overall during the near month long process. Nearly every position on the roster is targeted for improvement or reinforcement. ** Two high profile offense players Texas will recruit include Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman and Louisville running back Isaac Brown. Coleman is expected to be a battle with A&M and Alabama. Brown entered the portal with a no-contact tag and Texas appears to be the front-runne…

While Parker Livingstone has opted to enter the transfer portal, sophomore wide receiver Emmett Mosley V will be returning to Texas, sources tell On Texas Football. Mosley, who is from Southern California, transferred to Texas from Stanford in 2025. He was injured early in the season, but earned a starting role by the end of the campaign. He totaled 28 catches for 408 and three touchdowns, including a game-winner in overtime against Mississippi State. With decisions from Mosley and Livingstone, the Longhorns now await news from Ryan Wingo, who suffered a turf toe injury during yesterday’s game, as well as Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman who has already ent…

Texas nickels Keynodo Hudson is not expected to return to the team in 2026. This is the first move of a couple dominoes expected to fall which will likely extend down to analysts as well. That move came as of Friday morning, just two days after the Longhorns defeated Michigan in the Citrus Bowl to conclude the 2025 season. Hudson arrived at the beginning of the 2024 season as a defensive analyst for the Texas defense, and was promoted ahead of the 2025 season as a full-time on-field coach for the Texas secondary where he primarily focused on coaching the nickels.

The news of Louisville running back Isaac Brown entering the portal is one to watch. While most of the portal attention for Texas fans at running back has centered around the decision of Florida's Jaden Baugh, Brown is someone we've mentioned on multiple broadcasts. He is a big-time home run hitter. He averaged more than 8 yards per carry in 2025, finishing the season with 884 yards on 101 carries. In 2023 as a freshman, he recorded 1175 yards rushing on 165 carries. In 2025 alone, he had five runs of longer than 50 yards. He is a mix between Tre Wisner and Jaydon Blue IMO. Brown is 5-9, 190 pounds and is originally from Miami. View full news sto…

Season Snap Counts *** The 2025 season has wrapped up. Onto 2026, but first a look at the season snap counts for the Texas Longhorns on both sides of the football. I will italicize players who have portaled out or declared for the draft. *** Offense Out of 888 snaps per PFF. 873 – Brandon Baker 847 – Trevor Goosby 840 – Arch Manning 831 – DJ Campbell 690 – Jack Endries 645 – Cole Hutson 643 – Ryan Wingo 557 – Connor Robertson 540 – Parker Livingstone 416 – DeAndre Moore 412 – Tre Wisner 361 – Emmett Mosley V 310 – Connor Stroh 221 – Nick Brooks 2…

For those of us who suffered through a decade of a roller coaster ride of Longhorn football, the result yesterday was both satisfying and reassuring. The Longhorns, for the third year in a row, have now won 10 games. It’s the first time the program has done so since 2007-2009. Why is that so meaningful? Because Texas fans don’t just want or expect a single year of good football. They want more. They want consistent, repeated excellence; they want proof that their program, even if they fall just a bit short, is continually being built with an eye toward championships. Three consecutive 10-win seasons is proof of that. It was not merely a two-year anomal…

Under Armour All-America Live Practice Thread Orlando, Fla. - The first practice for the 2026 Under Armour All-America Game was last night under the lights. This morning, the second practice begins at 10:15am ET. CJ and I will be in attendance, and will have live updates. I also attended last nights practice, and will post pictures, video clips and notes in the thread. View full news story

I've watched enough Texas football in my lifetime to know when I witness a special performance. Arch Manning produced exactly that today. Lamented as a "bust" nationally just two months ago, Manning not only diced up the Wolverines running and throwing the ball, he also came up big in the big moments and showed the kind of grit and determination that is rare to see. Whether it was shirking a pass rusher on a fourth-and-two scramble, tossing a beautifully placed go ball to a true freshman wide receiver, or making a long run on a good play call, Manning did it all. Furthermore, he did it much of the day without three of his top four wide receivers and his top…

For the final time in 2025, Texas will take the field. 1st Quarter The Texas offense begins the contest with the ball at the 25. That was one of the fastest paces Texas has shown all season and it results in a field goal. Sark wants this to turn into a track meet it appears. Arch made a heck of a throw on the first 3rd down, but misses a curl route in the red area and Texas settles for a field goal. Christian Clark's first rush attempt went for 22 yards which was a beauty of a sight! This is basically a brand new defense. Let’s see what we get. Michigan had success throwing the football on the opening drive. Then stubbed their to…

Notes I've picked up: - Texas continues to monitor potential portal entries. They also continue their focus on the retention of the existing roster. Both aspects are very important and inter-connected. - Former Auburn receiver Cam Coleman announced his entry to the portal earlier today. Is Texas a possibility? Yes, however remote that might be at this juncture. Some national folks suggest that A&M is the real player in the sweepstakes; the Aggies are the team the Auburn admin felt was coming on strong. The Aggies are also thought to be attempting to lure Florida receiver Dallas Wilson into the portal. But I'll add this for both Colem…

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 …

Recruiting wrap up from Under Armour All-America Game media day Orlando, Fla. - Here are the key notes and nuggets CJ and I gathered today at the Under Armour All-America Game media day. Easton Royal will be a battle ... The electric fast playmaker and 4-star++ Texas commit from New Orleans Brother Martin committed to Texas for all the right reasons. With that said, schools will only pursue him harder now. LSU HC Lane Kiffin has been in the DM's plenty. LSU, Tennessee and Miami are likely January or spring visits, along with Texas. Texas has a lot going for them in this recruitment. Winning out for a 10.3 100-meter sprinter that is a football first play…

Usually teams are either mentally checked out for bowl games or really honed in. You can easily get a sense of that in how they practice. But I went to practice yesterday for the brief media viewing window, and I just couldn't tell much, especially not the overall vibe or energy of the team. The viewing window was just too short. So that means any prediction of mine for this game is going to be a shot in the dark at some level. I think the Michigan defense is better and deeper than most Longhorns fans realize. And I also believe the Texas defense is thinner than most Longhorns fans are willing to admit (Jordon Johnson-Rubell is currently a back-up linebacke…

If you’re going to the game this week in Orlando, we wanted to let folks know that we’re having a little party. From 4-7pm on Tuesday afternoon/evening, we’ll be at Wall Street in Orlando. Hopefully it’ll be a Texas Takeover. Everyone is welcome. It is free of charge. Wall Street is a pedestrian-only area of downtown that has about eight bars and a common area. We’ll be set up in the common area so folks can pick and choose where they want to go. Come hang out and have fun with CJ, Gerry, myself, other Longhorns and a few special guests! https://www.google.com/maps/search/25+Wall+St.+Orlando,+FL+32801?entry=gmail&source=g View full new…

Nuggets from Orlando *** Both Texas and Michigan went to a local Orlando theme park Monday morning for a quick get morning with one of the Boys & Girls Clubs here in the area.
