Brandon Brown visit update One of the key visitors Friday for the Texas Longhorns is OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown (Melbourne, Fla./Eau Gallie).  Brown, 6-1.5 and 290 pounds, will fly from Melbourne to Houston Friday morning. He will then make a visit to Texas with members of the California Power 7v7 program before a 7v7 tournament in Houston Saturday afternoon and Sunday.  The visit news with Brown is not new, but there are key parts of the visit that is

I just reconfirmed with someone close to Quinn that he is still expected to throw on Wednesday at the Longhorns' pro day. Pro day will be particularly important to four Longhorns IMO: 1. Quinn Ewers - Quinn is a potential first-round pick this time next year. But it will be the first in-person scouting event of many upper-level executives. How he performs on Wednesday will have a bearing on some thinking heading into next year's draft. 2. Jaylan Ford - the linebacker did not test

Texas (20-12) was just announced on CBS as the No. 7 seed in the Midwest Region.  The Longhorns will face the winner of Virginia and Colorado State in the  No. 10 seed play in game. The Round of 64 game will take place Thursday in Charlotte, N.C.  The winner of the Midwest Region No. 7 vs No. 10 Round of 64 game will face the winner of No. 2 seed Tennessee and No. 15 seed St. Peter’s Saturday.

Sark's ultimate recruiting class Steve Sarkisian and staff have signed three straight top 5 classes headed into the 2025 cycle. That string of success means Texas has signed multiple four-star ranked prospects at every position, and top 300 nationally ranked prospects overall at every position. There must also be enough five-star's signed in each class to finish in the top 5. And then there is the national approach. One has to be a national recruiting program to truly register top 5 cl

Four-star Lake Travis DL Gus Cordova to visit Texas for Spring Game Texas will receive an unofficial visit from 2025 Lake Travis defensive end Gus Cordova for the Texas spring game on April 20. Cordova has continued to be recruited by the Longhorns since his visit for the junior day in January and told me in February that the staff has continued to be actively pursuing him.
