HOOK ‘EM! OT Jonte Newman Commits to Texas

Hook ‘Em!

From College Station to Austin!

Texas lands former Texas A&M freshman offensive tackle Jonte Newman out of the transfer portal.

Newman, originally out of Bridgeland High in Cypress, Texas, makes the move from the Aggies to the Longhorns after just one year. Newman had committed to the Aggies pretty early in his recruitment after being pursued heavily by Texas and many others.

Now, Kyle Flood and Steve Sarkisian get an additional offensive tackle piece for the depth of the offensive line with a very toolsy option.

My aggy friends are laughing about this one. This makes zero sense.

Losing a depth piece to the portal and getting a depth piece through the portal makes no sense? I think it makes perfect sense lol... he's probably asking for less money or he doesn't expect to start and maybe Brooks did

Were they laughing about the L they took in austin with their best team in like 40 years or maybe their first round exit when they scored a whopping three points?

Sources say he “wanted to win a big game at Kyle Field” and thought this was the best move for him to achieve that goal

Let's put our thinking caps on...
Wanted less money? Was ok with sitting and developing for a year? Endless reasons lol... Maybe the staff thinks he can be better than Brooks... who knows.

if they don't know what his price tag was, they have no basis. He's going to be a 2027-2028 guy. 

They are aggys. Their cast-offs to Texas seem funny to them. If he becomes a star, they will not be laughing.

They are not use to guys coming to Texas unless they made a video about their recruitment.

Good news but still feels weird

I don’t suspect this changes the pursuit for Texas on the OL when it comes the kid from Maryland or Louisville. 

 

It definitely won’t change anything for Jordan Seaton.

Brooks wanted to play only OT not guard where Texas needed him to play.
