Good morning! Time to kick off your week with Coffee and Football, over on our YouTube channel. At 8 AM CST, join me, Bobby Burton and CJ Vogel as we discuss all things Longhorns, including recruiting, team news, portal news and more! Today's special guest is Cedric Griffin.  Cedric was at Texas' junior day this past weekend, along with his son Swayde Griffin (Lago Vista), and it also marked his first time meeting a lot of the coaching staff.  He's going to tell us all about it and more whe

This will probably be the last of the junior day information you see from me, but wanted to share what I rounded up late last night/early today. - This morning marks the start of winter workouts for the Longhorns. After about three weeks off, they're back in the saddle in preparation for the 2024 season. - CJ Vogel spoke this weekend of how impressionable new Texas linebackers coach Johnny Nansen was this weekend and that he hit it of well with many recruits.  I also heard rave reviews

Pleasant Grove EDGE Lance Jackson has announced his verbal commitment to Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns. Jackson, a 6-foot-5 pass rusher spent most of his time with Texas DC Pete Kwiatkowski while on campus yesterday. The Longhorns made a run in his recruitment during the football season and were quick to green-light him for the cla

This morning I spoke with a handful of prospects who were on campus yesterday at Texas.  Here are a couple of highlights from those conversation. - Missouri City (Hightower) 2025 four-star safety Kade Phillips had a good time on his visit.  He mentioned that the overall environment of the day was a major positive and that he was treated well. He will visit Texas A&M and Baylor next weekend. - Henry Harris is a name to keep an eye on for the 2026 class.  The 6-foot-5, 180-pound wide

Yes, that’s what we’re hearing. Should be later today. From a recruiting who was offered prior to yesterday. Stay tuned.

CJ and I tackle the topic in this morning’s OTF episode.
