Jordan Scruggs

Rest in Peace Odin

I thought it was so lame he won the Heisman. LSU padded his stats and kept him in in several blowouts. Penix, Bo Nix, and Marv Harrison were the other finalists and there wasn't an obvious winner but I thought Penix was more important to his team's success than anyone else in NY that year.

Welcome to the family! You must've been excited when Texas landed Jordan Hicks out of Ohio!

Royal shouts out his OL on the post, but I can't help but notice Brother Martin is giving him handoffs. Curious to see how he'll do on Friday nights. I think Royal has a lot of gadget ability and could get some carries out of the backfield in college as well

Great stuff Jeff!

Saw this. How the hell did a snake get in there? Feel like there's no way this helmet was on a hook in a locker in a locker room.

Great thread! thanks!

He's built like Humpty dumpty

Hoping to avoid as much rain as possible Thursday-Saturday nights this fall. Don't know if there's a worse feeling covering a game than hearing the lightning alarm go off. Makes me feel old since we used to celebrate when it went off during practice growing up

Would probably have to be in a better location but it'd be awesome if Bevo Blvd/the surrounding stadium area turned into something like what the Toronto Raptors have where there's a big watch party right outside their arena

I'm a huge Ty'Anthony Smith fan from covering him during his recruitment but hard to not go with Tre Wisner (who later switched to No. 5). The rival killer will be missed. Also worth mentioning I'm 23 years old and didn't get to see a lot of other 26s who will be brought up

Best football ahead of him for sure. It's important to remember last year was his first and only season playing football and he currently only has 11 games under his belt. He was supposed to play as a sophomore but the UIL ruled him ineligible and playing sub varsity would've been unfair so he sat out and practiced each week. Should take a decent jump from junior to senior year

I've heard Gilmer is going to get him the ball some as a senior. Now, how much will it be? I have no idea, but several people have told me he will get handoffs and passes thrown his way. Can't wait to see normal HS kids try to tackle his 6-foot-6, 340 pound frame. OTF will be on the road to see him two weeks from Thursday when Gilmer opens the season with an away game at Longview Pine Tree on Aug. 27

Agreed. I think he's the most talented WR and highest draft potential of any WR Texas has had since Roy

Thought it was AI or fake when I first saw it. Unreal

I get what you're saying but I like Derrek Cooper more for that short yardage role. Not trying to take anything away from MT3 and hoping he finds success in Austin, but the constant reporting of him needing to be a more physical runner is for a reason.

Unless injuries happen, it's hard to imagine him having a big role this year considering Raleek Brown, Hollywood Smothers, and Derrek Cooper can do a lot of the same things he can do if not better. I think next season will be the first opportunity for him to have a big role with Brown gone and Smothers likely gone as well imo. And by big role I mean finishing in the top 2-3 RBs on the team when it comes to touches and snap count

I know he’s not a Longhorn anymore, but DMO continues to carry himself in a great way while speaking highly of Texas QBs and figured I’d share

Brooks has some decent points, but one thing I could never stop thinking about last year was how it took until the 9th game of the season (Vandy) for the starting lineup to consist of the most experienced bunch (Goosby, Hutson, Robertson, Campbell, Baker). How did that happen

As long as there isn't anything revealed schematically, I think it'd be kinda cool to open a practice or two up to fans. Just have them run routes on air or do one on ones or even 7on7. You could sell a lot of tickets and keep it to an hour then when the fans leave actually practice plays and installs, etc.

Get this guy a jersey asap

No doubt. But also, why does the UIL allow 5A and 6A schools to practice with pads in the spring but 4A and below can't? He obviously broke rules, but why do those rules exist in the first place?
