CJ and I talk about the State of the Program. We discuss the Portal and whether or not - and how well - Texas filled its needs. The first couple of workouts for the football team. And the Horns vs Aggies junior days.  

Steve Sarkisian spent a fair amount of time in Dallas today. The Horns’ head coach has already been to both Skyline and South Oak Cliff today. One player that is clearly a priority for the Horns this recruiting cycle is Bo Barnes, the linebacker at Skyline. It’s the third time Sarkisian or a Texas coach has met with Barnes in the last week (once at junior day and twice at Skyline).  

Texas offered 2025 Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III over the weekend during the Junior Day. Terry did not shy away from discussing how much the Texas offer meant to him. Following the trip, Terry mentioned Texas joined TCU and Texas Tech in his top 3 grouping. Should Texas fully pursue Terry, I would give them the nod in this recruitment. There are some connections to the Texas program here that will work in the Longhorns' favor behind the scenes. The Longhorns did not discuss

Josh Gibson, the head coach of Texarkana Pleasant-Grove, tells On Texas Football that Lance Jackson, the 6-foot-6, 245-pound defensive end who committed to Texas on Sunday, is expected be a mid-term enrollee. In other words, if everything goes right, Jackson would join the Longhorns in January of 2025.

Former Washington DB Jabbar Muhammad is in Eugene at the moment wrapping up his official to Oregon. The Ducks, to me, are the favorite to land the former All-PAC 12 cornerback, despite the family ties Muhammad has to Texas.

It is no secret Texas likes to rotate its defensive backs throughout games and the cornerback position is one that will have several capable bodies fighting

Time for that mid-week boost with Coffee and Football at 8 AM CST. Join Blake Munroe, Bobby Burton and CJ Vogel to discuss all the latest Longhorns news. As always, be sure to ask questions in this thread or in the chat and we will answer as many as we can!   

Getting some conflicting information on whether or not wide receiver Ryan Williams from Saraland, Ala., will still make his scheduled visit to Texas this weekend. There is some thought that the five-star receiver is shutting down his recruitment. Whether that comes before or after his visit to Texas this weekend, I am unsure. It will be something we are monitoring over the next 24-48 hours.

Bridgeland (Cypress) 2025 offensive tackle Jonte Newman just dropped his top 8 schools on Twitter. The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder is ranked a four-star in the On3 Industry Rankings and the No. 343 player overall.   This past season he was a unanimous District 16-6A first-team selection.

While Texas looks for its new defensive line coach, Steve Sarkisian has elevated Texas' Director of Recruiting, Brandon Harris to the 10-man coaching staff to allow him to get on the road to recruit. Harris was out in Louisiana Tuesday afternoon, checking in on a pair of powerhouses in the area. First stop was at Westgate High School, home to 2025 CB Jaboree Antoine and former home of Texas S Derek Williams.  Soon thereafter, Harris made the trip to University Lab, home to 20
