Along with an extraordinary list of high school prospects, Texas is hosting Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V on an official visit this weekend. Gerry Hamilton broke the news yesterday. Mosley caught 48 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns as a true freshman last season. He’s an exacting route runner with terrific size (6-2, 190) and hands. Earlier this week, Mosley visited Virginia. Mosley is not considered a burner, but uses his size, athleticism and technical skills to create separation. Watch the tape and you’ll see a receiver who is highly polished at such a young age. More on Mosley: Out of Rancho Santa Margarita Catholic High (Calif…

The Longhorns are back on the board! Former Maryland DL Lavon Johnson has signed with the Texas Longhorns, as first reported by Pete Nakos. The Longhorns hosted Johnson Thursday for a visit and watch of spring practice, though this morning it was announced that Johnson would be signing with North Carolina. Our @Bobby Burton put up the note that this one wasn't all but locked in and alas, the Longhorns have found themselves a new defensive lineman with the addition of Johnson. View full news story

Last night freshman phenom Jonah Williams made his first start for No. 1 ranked Texas Baseball, going 2-of-4 with three RBIs. An impressive starting debut, no doubt, but even more so when you consider the fact that Williams is balancing both spring football and baseball, not to mention coming off an injury that ended his football season early. Williams performance played a crucial part in the Horns victory over No. 8 Auburn, helping them take yet another series from SEC opponents (Texas is the only school to not lose a conference series this season). “What he did last night was wild,” a team source said. “It didn’t surprise me, but to say I knew it was g…

News broke late last night that President Trump would name former Alabama coach Nick Saban and Texas Tech mega-booster Cody Campbell as co-chairs of a federal commission on college sports. This news came on the heels of the NCAA replying to objections from the judge in the House Settlement surrounding grandfathering scholarships for former players who would have been otherwise cut. Frankly, it’s hard to keep up with all the ins and outs of what is going on in college sports these days off the field. Yet the best thing about sports - or at least one of the best - is that the games are decided on the field of play, not in a courtroom, not in chambers of congr…

Gird up your loins: Where Texas top targets are making official visits When looking at which programs the Longhorns are battling the most in the 2026 cycle, there is one that is at the top of the list. Georgia has 15 prospects locked in for official visits that Texas has targeted or potentially targeted in the cycle. That is the most ever in terms of Georgia vs. Texas potential battles. Next up is Texas A&M with 11 official visitors that are also making OV's to Texas. OTF provides a look at the programs hosting the most Texas targets: Visiting the Georgia Bulldogs (15)...

As of Friday afternoon, the Longhorns have gained commitments from two players in the portal. Jack Moroknek - Outfielder - Butler Moroknek can play both left and right field, but more importantly can make an impact in the batter’s box. This past season he garnered All Big-East second team awards, after hitting .372 at the plate with a 1.145 OPS, 16 doubles and 18 home runs (led the team). Josh Livingston - INF - Wichita State Another left handed hitter, Livingston could play either corner spot or could simply be designated to DH. Last season he hit .284 for 15 home runs and 48 RBIs. Defensively, Livingston had a .990 fielding %, while only committing …

It’s that time of year, where recruiting takes center stage and things can and do change in an instant. Case in point, Buford defensive end Dre Quinn, as he was leaving Austin on Sunday, told reporters he would likely be foregoing his visit to Notre Dame that was scheduled for this upcoming weekend. Well, he got home, consulted with family, and yesterday afternoon decided he would go ahead and take that visit to Notre Dame. But… A report late last night from a Notre Dame reporter said Quinn had ultimately decided against visiting South Bend this weeekend and will instead announce a commitment between Texas and Clemson. If you feel like you’ve been…

The 10 Longhorns Most Important to a Successful 2025 Season Friday will mark 50 days from the start of the 2025 football season for the Texas Longhorns. As we sit now, there are plenty of conversation points that will fill now and the beginning of fall camp, which is set to kickoff on July 31. But for now, I want to focus on the guys that Texas must see on the field for the 2025 season to be a success. *** Honorable Mentions Sophomore DL Maraad Watson Sophomore RT Brandon Baker Junior WR DeAndre Moore Senior LB Trey Moore Sophomore DL Alex January *** 10. Senior DB Michael Taaffe The Longhorns secondary r…

Recruiting: Two decisions on deck Texas is back in the top 5 recruiting classes once again, and there are two more decisions prior to the state of the season that could vault the Longhorns even higher. Texas still has the potential to sign a class of 27 or 28 prospects. If that happens, the Longhorns will likely be in the mix for a second strgith No. 1 ranked class. Davon Benjamin, DB, Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian The 4-star++ versatile defensive back will announce either August 2 or the 5th, with the the second being the current announced date. Oregon has been considered the favorite for the majority of his recruitment. Texas and Michigan a…

Two recruiting notes Texas continues to await two decisions of top uncommitted targets remaining. Those two prospects are OnTexasFootball 4-star++ defensive back Davon Benjamin (Westlake Village, Calif./Oaks Christian) and 4-star+ EDGE Jake Kreul (Orlando, Fla./IMG Academy). OnTexasFootball continues to believe that the Longhorns are behind on one, and are the favorite for another. Davon Benjamin ... As of today, cannonball! OTF continues to believe that Oregon is the favorite for the versatile defensive back over Michigan and Texas; with North Carolina and Washington both having hats on the table. OTF spoke with two sources Monday, and they both …

It’s finally here. Time for the home opener. Texas vs San Jose State kicks off at 11am. No, the Spartans aren’t the Buckeyes. But it’s still football and it’s at DKR. These sorts of games are real opportunities for the team to iron out the wrinkles at game speed. Let’s get Arch operating with confidence, continue to create lanes in the run game, perhaps identify a big-play threat, and hopefully the Horns continue to play stifling defense as well. Those are the ways I would define “success” today, at least from the first units. Of course, we’ll also be paying close attention to the finer points of the game (like punt return) and the younger players…

Texas vs. San Jose State … September 6, 2025 *** Texas is back home for the first time this season and will take on San Jose State in what is set up to be a bounce back after the opening loss against Ohio State in week one. All eyes on Arch Manning and how he will perform following the 2025 debut that left a lot of meat on the bone. *** 1st Quarter Interesting to see DeAndre Moore and Ryan Niblett back deep to return the opening kickoff. Texas is thin on running backs, so won’t see Baxter in the return game today. I loved the opening play call from Texas, get Moore the ball in motion and easy gain. But penalty negates the gain and…

Monday AM Recruiting: Big visit weekend planned This weekend will be the first big visit weekend for the Texas Longhorns this season. Steve Sarkisian and staff are expected a number of 2026 commitments, 2027 prospects and there is the possibility of two or three 2026 prospects committed elsewhere. This will serve as the game visitors thread. Prospects committed elsewhere ... The Texas staff is likely to have two or three prospects committed elsewhere on campus this weekend. OTF is holding off on the potential names on our end, for at least the next few days, as plans can always change with the committed school working to get the visits zapped. 202…

GAINESVILLE, Florida – SEC play is officially underway for the Texas Longhorns. Texas *** 1st Quarter Texas won the toss and will kickoff to begin this contest. Will Stone is back on kickoff duties. I really hope this is not how the game goes, a forced fumble on the first play of the game ends up fumbled but goes right back into the lap of Dallas Wilson. Florida’s first rush attempt goes for nine yards as well. Florida has really dragged this Texas defense around the field. Really ugly start for the Texas defense who allows an opening drive touchdown on 13 plays and over 7-minutes of gametime. Time for Arch Manning. First throw of the da…

4-star LSU commit Texas visit update Four-star offensive tackle Brysten Martinez (Gonzales, La./East Ascension) made a 36 hour unofficial visit to Texas over the weekend. In speaking with a source, OnTexasFootball can report that the initial takeaways were that Texas WILL have a shot in the recruitment. What exactly that means, we will hear more about in the next 24 hours. The 6-foot-6, 305-pounder, and a number of LSU commits, are in a tough spot with the early signing period December 3-5. Any LSU pledges having second thoughts could have to work on blind faith in regard to who the next LSU head coach will be, depending on how long the search plays out. …

Sean Miller Press Conference Availability Texas men's basketball head coach Sean Miller will speak with the Texas media on Monday. The Longhorns are back in action on Tuesday against Rider at the Moody Center. Tip off will be at 8:00 p.m. Over the weekend, the Longhorns won a 71–55 contest over Kansas City, a game that probably would classify as the sloppiest of the season. Fortunately, Sean Miller and his squad came away with a double-digit victory and move towards having plenty of room remaining to fix some key points before the Maui Inviational. View full news story

In the first injury report of the week, Texas linebacker Anthony Hill was listed as questionable. It’s interesting because that is in opposition to what coach Steve Sarkisian said immediately following the Arkansas game - that Hill would play against the Aggies. Yet it makes sense. Hill’s injury is typically a two-to-three timeframe. The Texas defense needs Hill to be ready in the worst way, especially with TyAnthony Smith sidelined for the first half. Without Hill and Smith, I’m not sure the Texas linebackers can handle an Aggie offense that tests opposing linebackers better than just about any team in the country. ** We are all well aware t…

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…

Down A Rabbit Hole | Short Distance Offense in 2025 *** We have reached the offseason, which if you are new here means there will be plenty of posts just like this. These include deeper dives into odd and random statistical themes and stories that were commonly discussed throughout the season. Today, in an effort to continue the conversation about the offensive line and the revamped Texas offense, I wanted to focus on the idea of how effective Texas was in short distances. That includes needing anything from 1-3 yards for a first down, or on the goal line from the 3-yard line and in. How effective was Texas running and throwing the ball in these …

Talking the Secondary | The Good, The Bad, The Unknown *** To conclude this series of The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown, we will be discussing the secondary. The backend of the Texas defense should have enough talent to be a positively contributing facet of the team, but there remain some quesitons. Also, the safety spot remains a place Texas could go grad transfer hunting to build depth. *** The Good – Young talent is spectacular We spent basically all of the 2nd half of the season boasting about Graceson Littleton and the emergence of Kade Phillips to the starting lineup later in the year. Both were tied for the team lead in pass brea…
