A look at the January and February 2025 prospect offer by Texas  The Texas staff offered 19 2025 prospects in January through February 2nd while on the road around the country evaluating the cycle. That list includes four at the Longhorns Junior Day January 20. OnTexasFootball provides a rundown of the offers by Steve Sarkisian and staff. Faheem Delane, S, Only (Md.) Good Counsel 6-2, 195 Texas offered: January 6  The recruitment: 29 offers, including Georgia, Texas and

Just got off the phone with OnTexasFootball's Gerry Hamilton who relayed a pair of big humans will be making the trip to Austin this weekend for the Longhorns' recruiting festivities. 2025 Cedar Hill offensive linemen Jordan and Devin Coleman will trek south down i35 to Austin on Saturday. Texas has long been in pursuit of Jordan Coleman, a 6-foot-5 and 310-pound prospect, who received his offer back in June of 2023. Since then, Jordan has received 15 additional offers and now boasts o

Following an earlier reported offer by Kenny Baker to 2025 Randle (TX) DL Chace Sims, a pair of additional offers have been extended to out of state targets. The first going to Newberry (FL) DL Jarquez Carter. The 6-foot-2 interior defensive lineman holds 31 offers currently and sits just outside of the top 300 national prospects according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4JhsigLm3e/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==   The

Brown defensive back Nick Hudson’s commitment to Texas on Friday makes him the latest addition to the roster for the 2026 season. Like the additions of Darius Snow and Paris Patterson Jr., recruiting Hudson from the portal speaks to how the Longhorns are maximizing the new age of roster building in college football. With roster construction mimicking an NFL model, Texas landing Hudson is akin to an NFL club signing a free agent ahead of training camp. That’s not to minimize what Hudson

Unlike other positions within the program, Texas is still trying to find the sweet spot in balancing transfer portal acquisitions and high school recruits along the offensive line. The Longhorns didn’t go into the portal for trench help until last season’s results, or lack thereof, forced Steve Sarkisian’s hand. Still, while Texas came out of the most recent portal cycle with a plug-and-play tackle (Melvin Siani), a likely starter at guard (Laurence Seymore), a potential future starter on t

A couple of recruiting updates as we near the weekend. ***  Texas will be hosting the California Power 7v7 football team this afternoon for an unofficial with the roster before they head to Houston for their tournament this weekend. One name to make note of is 2026 Mission Viejo WR Vance Spafford who will be joining the crew on the trip. Spafford holds three offers – Cal, San Diego State and Washington. The 5-foot-11 wide receiver from the west coast could be one to watch. Spaffor

AUSTIN, Texas — The biscuit that was the Texas running game last season was buttered with the outside zone. Considering how Georgia and Ohio State stymied a Longhorn ground attack lacking diversity in the team’s three losses, the offense might’ve been better served by Steve Sarkisian not pulling so many stretch plays from the well. Regardless, the body of work put together by the offensive line and running backs over a 16-game season revealed that wider was better for Texas in 2024. Ac

I checked in with a few prospects and parents after the junior day concluded today.  Here's the rundown: - After the day was over, certain players were asked to stay longer for some more personal time with the coaches.  For the most part, these were guys who either received offers or who already held offers.   - DeSoto duo Byron Washington and Ethan "Boobie" Feaster were two of those players.  Washington, the 2025 four-star OL, is all Texas at this point and when I asked if anyone else

A few noteworthy tidbits I wanted to share from conversations I had over the past couple of hours regarding Texas' Junior Day festivities. – First, new co-defensive coordinator and LB coach Johnny Nansen made a really strong initial impact with a number of prospects. Texas hosted an impressive crop of linebackers on the visit, but his impact trickled down to prospects all over the defense. 2026 Bastrop DL Tiki Hola mentioned he was immediately able to connect with Nansen as the result of th

One of the best to ever do it has decided to stay in Arizona rather than return to Texas, according to a social media post made by the coach. Duane Akina, one of the architects of Texas' DBU in the 2000s, mulled a return to Texas this off-season in a role that would have made him an analyst and special assistant to head coach Steve Sarkisian. However, Akina was recently offered an on-field role with Arizona subsequent to the hiring of Brent Brennan as new head coach of the Wildcats. Go
