OnTexasFootball was informed that Conroe (Texas) High 4-star cornerback Dorian Brew is making his visit to UCS this weekend around a local graduation of a family member on the mother’s side. The family is in the process of shuffling the OV schedule the remainder of the month, and Texas is expected to receive a weekend official visit (either June 14-16 or 21-23). The feeling in Austin is that this shuffle isn’t a negative for the Horns. Texas remains very much in the picture. View full news story

Recapping the visits for Xavier Griffin and Brayden Rouse *** Xavier Griffin, LB, Gainesville (Ga.) High One of the top targets on the board for the Longhorns this weekend and major priority for the 2026 class, Xavier Griffin, recapped his official visit. The Longhorns are right in the thick of things here for the five-star linebacker. "I would just say being around the guys," Griffin said about the highlights of his trip. "It was a good time. I just enjoyed the visit." LaAllen Clark has been running point on this recruitment and the relationship with Griffin has been paying off thus far.

Let me start by saying this could change at any time… Dia Bell, QB, Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage Bell met with Steve Sarkisian prior to the camp, along with his father Raja Bell and other family members. The family also spent time with Sark and A.J. Milwee during the pool party after the camp. There is confidence on the Texas side about where the Horns stand in the race for the 6-2, 195 pounder. Bell is currently scheduled to camp at LSU June 14-15. Troy Huhn, San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills Huhn and his mom were scheduled to meet with Sarkisian after the pool party today. Huhn entered today with Texas in front of his nati…

Latest on Michael Fasusi Lewisville (Texas) High 5-star OT and Oklahoma verbal Michael Fasusi made a visit to Texas yesterday with his father and sister. OnTexasFootball spoke with two sources close to the recruitment to get the behind the scene returns. The visit went very well from both reports. One source said, "Much better than the June official visit". The conversations were all viewed as very positive - from football, to Kyle Flood's development, S&C being able to maximize the DFW star, etc... A second source feels "really optimistic" about the Longhorns chances. Both sources believe Texas has a legit shot in the recruitment. This was not a …

Latest on Michael Terry III The Texas Longhorns pursuit of San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights 4-star++ athlete Michael Terry III continues to be all in. Steve Sarkisian, A.J. Milwee, Tashard Choice and Chris Jackson are all part of the recruitment of Terry for the Horns. The visits to Nebraska was a positive one, but maybe not a home run. That's not to say the Cornhuskers aren't under consideration, as they are. Oregon remains a school Terry III also likes, but that distance is the potential sticking point in the circle. Ducks offensive coordinator and Austin native Will Stein has done a very good job keeping Oregon in the top group despite the dista…

We’ll find out in about 45 minutes whether the Horns have been led down a primrose path and/or misled. Anything can happen. I would add this. Ojo visited Tech before the House Settlement. I don’t know if that has any bearing on this decision, or if it does, how it might. View full news story

Latest on Peach State 5-star OnTexasFootball spoke with a person in the circle of Grayson High (Loganville, Ga.) 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson Monday night. Atkinson, 6-foot-2 and 210-pounds, visited Clemson and Georgia in the last three days. Both will be in the recruitment until the very end. OTF was asked during Monday nights Talkin' Ball if Atkinson had essentially cut Texas from his list. According to the source, Texas remains very much in the mix for the Peach State star. OTF believes that Atkinson will likely be back on campus prior to making a decision. Could that change? It's recruiting so always a chance, but this person has maintained …

Four-star safety Semaj Stanford out of Broken Arrow (Okla.) will announce his college commitment on Thursday afternoon, deciding between Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. (there was some confusion on the decision date, but it is indeed April 23rd) Throughout the last few weeks there's been buzz around Texas, but as we've noted on OTF, things have gotten quieter as decision day approaches. I noted on Tuesday to keep your head on a swivel here, particularly with Oregon. Well, checking in with a source close to the recruitment on Wednesday morning, the buzz has seemed to shift from quietly optimistic on UT's end to unsure. That makes me think the Ducks are making a mov…

Longhorns Out for a Quick 4th of July Intermission *** Consider this a halftime for summer conditioning. The team has been given a quick break from the grueling summer workouts led by Torre Becton over at DKR and Denius to celebrate the 4th of July. Workouts will resume next week as the final stretch to fall camp takes place during the remainder of the month. Before the team left, I am told there was a competition-based workout with the entire team during one of the final workouts. Workouts are normally split between bigs and skills, as per usual. Offensive and defensive linemen, plus edge rushers, workout together, and another group of running b…

The Latest on Replacing Tashard Choice – All Quiet on the RB Front It has been pretty quiet since the weekend update on the RB coaching front. Since the addition of Georgia Tech RB Coach Norvel McKenzie into the conversation, there have yet to be many developments. Based off of the recruiting landscape and McKenzie's history in the south, this makes the most sense at the moment based off of intel available. Also, it should be mentioned the offer extended to Javian Osborne from Georgia Tech last night. Nebraska RB coach EJ Barthel did sign an extension through the 2026 season, likely closing the door on Barthel as an option for the Texas job. Again, I am co…

The latest from Austin, Texas. *** There remains several exit meetings with Steve Sarkisian, Brandon Harris and Texas players on Thursday. I can only imagine the Microsoft Office schedule for the Texas head coach and general manager won't have much time set away for Christmas shopping this week. I would expect news soon on a pair of decisions. OTF is monitoring a decision from TE Jack Endries regarding the NFL and a return to Austin. Additionally, a decision from RB Tre Wisner which includes all three avenues (NFL, Portal and a return). – Additionally, there remains no news until news is made on the portal front of Jadan Baugh. I have n…

Latest on two top Texas targets The Texas Longhorns' staff is awaiting a some big decisions on the recruiting front. Tonight, OnTexasFootball provides the latest on two of the top prospects on the board. Michael Terry III, ATH, San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights The Longhorns continue to be in a solid position with one of the nation's top athletes. Terry, 6-2.5 and 218 pounds, has Texas, Nebraska and Oregon as the three schools in contention. Texas' closeness to home, the offensive scheme and the programs player development are the keys according to a source very close to the recruitment. Oregon is genuinely liked by Terry, but distance from home is a …

A brief update on 5-star ATH Michael Terry III after a conversation earlier this week. Following my trip to Alamo Heights a few weeks ago, it was clear the teams to beat in this race were Oregon, Nebraska and Texas. Right now, I believe that list has trimmed a bit to Nebraska and Texas with Oregon looming from behind just a bit. The distance to the pacific northwest is just a bit much. Also, on the side of Nebraska, I am told the early play of Dylan Raiola has been encouraging there. Of course, Matt Rhule has been the main contact as well, so the Cornhuskers are throwing the kitchen sink at Terry. Texas is very much in this one and in my eyes the team…

With the news today that the NCAA is pushing forward a vote for the 5-seasons-to-play-5-years rule, I wanted to check in with a source at Texas about what that means for the two players it could effect for the Horns, transfer OL Laurence Seymore and LB Darius Snow. It is the current belief that neither Seymore nor Snow would be effected by the ruling because they have already been approved by the NCAA for the additional year. It is the belief, however, that players who have not been approved yet by the NCAA, or those who are only eligible because of legal injunctions, could be effected by the ruling. We'll see what that means for the likes of Ole Miss' Trin…

One of the best individual defensive players we have seen over the last decade, Hill will be on an early round draft pick in next spring's NFL Draft and will be a fine representative of The University of Texas in the league.

Yesterday evening, the University of Texas and Texas A&M sent a joint letter to Texas US Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn voicing their disapproval of the Protect College Sports Act. It’s the first time either school has voiced its opposition to the bill. I texted with a high-ranking Texas official this morning. “It’s important for fans to know that we (Texas and Texas A&M) are unified,” the official said. “I think there was some talk in Washington that we were apathetic toward this bill. That’s not the case.” This puts Cruz in a precarious position as the author of the bill where the state’s two largest universities and university system…

Level of Position Comfortability on Day One of Fall Camp As simple a breakdown as the title would insist. Quarterback: 9/10 If 2024 was a total 10, then the 2025 season comes in just a tick below. The addition of Matthew Caldwell figures to be one the staff likes behind the scenes and will push the QB2 battle throughout camp. Arch Manning remains healthy and all is well for the 2025 season. Running Back: 8/10 Quintrevion Wisner is RB1 entering camp for the Texas Longhorns. The SEC's only returning 1,000 yard rusher will get first team duties as the return for CJ Baxter inches closer and closer. Fortunately, there is a significant increase i…

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…
