Folsom (Calif.) High defensive lineman and OnTexasFootball 4-star Josiah Sharma made his first visit to Texas Friday.  Sharma, 6-3.5 and 323 pounds with power and explosive ability, was accompanied on the visit by his mom and a few Folsom High coaches. Per a source Sunday, Sharma and his mom had a tremendous visit to Texas. From watching the spring practice, to meeting with Steve Sarkisian, spending time with Kenny Baker for the first time and time spent in the facilities around people and

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.

Texas replicating exactly what it did while choking the life out of Oklahoma en route to winning the Red River Shootout for the third time in four years is a formula capable of giving the Longhorns a chance to win their six remaining regular-season games. Specifically, Texas (4-2, 1-1 SEC) would love the manner in which it manhandled the Sooners in the second half to carry over to the back half of the schedule, which begins with Saturday’s road game against Kentucky (6 p.m., ESPN).

The Duncanville five-star was on campus today for the Texas Relays. Duncanville's notorious 4x100m relay team walked out of the event with a first place finish after yet another sub-40 second time this morning. Moore will return to Austin twice next month – April 6 and the spring game April 20. The LSU commit has a final four of Oregon, Ohio State, LSU and Texas. An interesting note from speaking with Moore is the proximity to home is something that Texas has above its competition in t

A federal judge has temporarily stopped the NCAA from enforcing its rules restricting member schools from using NIL to recruit student-athletes. In other words, players can now negotiate and sign their NIL before enrolling at a specific school and schools and collectives can use NIL as a recruiting inducement. https://theathletic.com/5295907/2024/02/23/tennessee-ncaa-nil-lawsuit-injunction/?redirected=1&source=user_shared_article&access_token=222208  

This off-season, Texas is paying the price of winning. Yet another of Steve Sarkisian’s behind-the-scenes employees has left for increased responsibilities elsewhere. Bobby Merritt, who was responsible for breaking down opposing film and evaluating prospects in the portal for the Horns in 2023, has been hired by Rice University as its new general manager. The move has yet to be announced publicly but Merritt started with Rice on Friday. Merritt’s former boss at Texas, Billy G

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports. The SEC and Big 10 have both been given a deadline of 9am tomorrow to give their support or not. As I wrote earlier today, some of the compromises made recently by the senate bill are moves in the right direction. But they are not complete concessions, which I believe is necessary to move this bill forward. What is the difference between a compromise and a concession? Forcing Texas to play Texas Tech or any other team, for example, is somethin

All other football conferences should take a step back because It looks like the SEC and Big Ten are joining together to lead from the front. According to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN, the two major conferences are planning to fund an advisory committee concerning the future of big-time college athletics. The move is long overdue as the NCAA and its archaic structure continues to wilt under the pressure of a multitude of lawsuits, long-term mismanagement and rising public animosit

The Texas Longhorns 2024 Spring Roster is out.    https://texassports.com/sports/football/roster

The Texas offense is bad. I won’t declare it broken. I believe it can be repaired and that the Longhorns can put a product on the field capable of helping them win games in the SEC. But Steve Sarkisian’s offense regressed from a middle-of-the-road performance against San Jose State to a clunker in Saturday’s 27-10 win over UTEP. After three games, Texas is 12-for-42 on third down, 5-for-12 on fourth down and 8-for-13 in the red zone with six touchdowns, two field goals, two interc
