HOOK ‘EM! OT Jonte Newman Commits to Texas

People should be stoked. We got a left tackle we had always wanted. Hope he has a great career for us!

Not going to lie. For a hot second I heard "Jonte" and my brain thought Cook.

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

First, you shouldn't have aggy friends.  Second, you shouldn't believe anything an aggy says unless it is a joke- and in most cases the joke is actually a true story.

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. 

Still need at least two guards 

Isn’t taking an Aggie in the portal one of the 7 deadly sins? 

Now if we can just get the other Johntay….. Cook

They always do this.  Tell them 27-17 and they will stop.

I didn’t think I’d need to spell it out, but this is a depth piece for 2026. Eyeing 2027 for contribution at the tackle spot. 

You should know by now that some people aren’t the brightest. Even if they went to UT

Guess he was ok with sitting and developing and Brooks was not

This! Will he develop like Brooks is the question. 

He will develop like he develops. Pretty simple really. Hard to be anything but yourself.

Love the content on here. But OTF doesn’t break anything for subscribers we can’t get on X 20 minutes sooner… 

I'm a member of three Texas sites, and this is just pure bullshit.  They all have their sources and all break stuff.  The OTF team is solid and are either 1A or 1B in Texas coverage, imo.

They’re #1 by a landslide, IT is a clear #2 and everyone else who cares

Only reason I kept 247 is for the free Paramount +/CBS subs.  I look over there occasionally and their network for other school sites.

You fail to mention the fact that you have to rifle through so much click bait found on X to even get to the real stories.............So if you want to hear things first, look at sources that posts everything they hear the moment they hear it.  Then, have fun figuring out if it's real or not.

People don't join OTF to hear things first.

They join to hear things that have been CONFIRMED by Bobby and company.

Kid had issues . Hope that has gotten better. Don't need him in the mix. Great talent though.

Rare in our world we live in now you can trust what is reported. Agree that is what is so great about the Mods on this site, They don't sugar coat and almost always when they report something, you can take it to the bank.

I do not see the point of a portal addition of a young kid who hasn't played...in order to add "depth." The likelihood he provides depth this year is probably less than the likelihood of him leaving again next year. 

If you are truly looking to add depth, certainly you can find a guy that has significant experience that maybe isn't as talented.
