    Just one more data point that Texas is back where it belongs.  We can all remember over the last 10+ years when we might have 1 or 2 players invited.  This is a great list, really hope our players have a great showing!

    Lets go! Bout time we have this many guys invited haha. Should for sure help with Ford, JWhitt, and KRob. I think Watts helped himself quite a bit at the shrine bowl but being at the combine should further solidify at least a late round flier

    If we get 8 or 9 drafted and the others make a roster as an UDFA, that will be big with future classes. 2025, 2026, etc will see that the UT staff develops talent and puts its players in the NFL.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, is that all draft eligible minus Sanborn?

    You're right Gerry. There could be even more guys after next season. What about David Gbenda or Jake Majors? Do they have no shot?

    Not out of the question Majors. Gbenda ... very much fringe guy for that IMO

    Those NFL Draftees lists are going to be filled with Texas Longhorns over the next five years. Future is bright.

    I like how all but 2 of these guys were transfers (and both transfers were more than 1 and done anyways). Texas is developing Friday stars and turning them into Sunday stars.

    That's 5 of the top 7 or 8 teams in the country.

    Recruiting and talent matter.

    I count three, Robinson, AD, and Watts, but point still stands. We haven't seen development across the board in a while.

    Yes sir it’s been a long time since Horns fans looked at a list like that. That list alone says the program is in the right track.

    Georgia - 11

    Kentucky - 6

    Arkansas - 5

    Mississippi State and Texas A&M - 4

    Oklahoma - 3

    Gerry...Gunnar Helm for 2025?  I think he has all the measurables to be a 5th/6th round pick.

    Sark finally has track record he can show to recruits. The program is finally acquiring and developing NFL talent.
