Come join Erin, Rod and I as we dive into a number of pressing issues from the world of college football. Recruiting notes at the top of the show, then we dive into the new 5+7 look look in the College Football Playoff world.  

Plenty to talk about today on the Recruiting Breakdown with Gerry and I.  Coach Baker gets active on the trail in Georgia with an offer, plus Gerry and I discuss stops on the road we made this morning    

I stopped by Pflugerville Weiss earlier this morning to catch up with what I believe will be a top target for Texas in the 2026 cycle – Jerald 'JJ' Mays. This was my first time seeing Mays in person and I was thoroughly impressed. He stands right now around 275 pounds, but has plenty of room to go in his 6-foot-4 frame and has already begun gaining weight since the offseason. He mentioned this morning he hopes to get up to 290 pounds by the beginning of next season. By all accounts, Ma

Texas defensive line coach offered OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive tackle Kevin Wynn (Greensboro, Ga./Greene County) Tuesday.  OnTexasFootball caught up with Greene County Head Coach Terrance Banks within the hour.  Here is everything to know about Wynn: 1. Wynn is 6-3 and around 320. He's currently playing on the varsity basketball team, which begins the playoffs this week. He will go to the track after hoops season concludes. He qualified for for state in the Class 1A shot put

ESPN's NFL Draft expert Matt Miller fielded questions from media members today following the release of his latest two-round NFL Mock Draft.  Of course, with Texas sending 11 players to the NFL Combine, there were plenty of Longhorns that were mentioned during the availability and I wanted to share notable quotes and tidbits Miller shared in regards to Texas' Draft hopefuls. *** Where the Longhorns fell in Miller's latest Mock Draft: 16) DL Byron Murphy (SEA) 32) WR

Tyler Thomas has multiple visits scheduled to Texas Dickinson, Texas - One of the top offensive line targets for the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 cycle is Tyler Thomas (Dickinson, Texas/High).  Thomas, 6-5 and 320, was offered by Texas June 3, 2023 following the Longhorns Elite Camp. Since that time, offensive line coach Kyle Flood has made the Galveston County area standout a priority. And Thomas has reciprocated the Texas heavy interest with at least four visits to Texas for games and

Major Preston talks Texas offer and April 13 visit One of the late January offers made by the Texas Longhorns was 2025 versatile defensive back Major Preston (Hopewell, Va./IMG Academy).  Preston, 6-1 and 185 pounds, was offered by safeties coach Blake Gideon on a school visit to IMG Academy January 30.  "I kind of knew it was coming," Preston told OnTexasFootball Monday afternoon. "Three weeks before they offered, Blake Gideon was in the DMV and reached out to my family. Coach Gi

One of the expected strengths of the Texas football team in 2024 should be the running back room. But not necessarily in a typical way. There’s not a single back expected to carry the load. There’s no Bijan Robinson expected to be RB1 off the board in the NFL draft. Rather, it’s the cumulative nature of the RB room that has folks hopeful. So I wanted to take a deeper dive on what those aspects, those strengths, are and perhaps take a look at perceived shortfalls, too. Ce

Happy Tuesday! Wanted to drop off a few recruiting notes before hitting the trail this morning. I will be hitting some more Austin area schools through the rest of the week. But for now, I am feeling like Jokic the way I am coming with the Nuggets. *** I traded messages earlier with 2026 five-star DL Jahkeem Stewart out of New Orleans (LA) about his communication levels with Texas. Stewart has been on campus multiple times since popping up on the recruiting scene as an eighth grader ba

Rod and I joined up together this afternoon to discuss the best Quarterback-Wide receiver tandems in the country following an article from 247Sports that had Quinn Ewers and Isaiah Bond as the best duo in the country. Plus, which NFL Departure will the Longhorns miss the most in 2024.
