Another site is reporting that Texas is hosting a Georgia reserve tackle that is in the portal. Played in 12 games this year. Jamal Meriweather? *someone said although he’s listed as a tackle, he took most of his snaps at guard.

Give Us Your Thoughts!
More Peyton Yager - and more offensive guards. Live shows were the viewers can interact opposed to just posting questions...

We have the Oregon State guy penciled in there now.

Texas isn’t looking for prospects - unless he’s coming for depth. If the kid doesn’t have double digit starts he’s not our answer.

Probably, but make him think about it.

Go get him - I’d have Collin Simmons on the call from first contact.

So today’s likely the day (sans players from Miami and Indiana) when we know everyone in the portal. I’m curious to see if Sark/Flood go into the pool of 6,000+ kids and take fliers on OL for depth. If they don’t work out, they are in the portal again next year.

Clearly depth - probably a scholarship only guy.

He’s probably going to visit 2+ more schools but doubt Texas is one unless their plans at Guard fell through then they might feel pressure to add something to the line regardless if it’s a guard or tackle.

Big numbers

Texas didn’t show a lot of interest. They could have brought him in sooner if they prioritized him.

May be why he chose to return??? (Didn’t see it posted above)

Did you hear Siani’ intent to enter. You heard he’s in the portal and an hour later was committed. That’s how industry sources thought OG would go as well. Until the coaches start bringing in other OLs (other than depth pieces) have patience.

Sounds like Alabama

I haven’t seen Justus Terry yet

He’s been in the portal for a few days. The guy Texas is waiting on isn’t in yet.

this kid would be disciplined - and has experience at Guard or Tackle.

Texas' Penalties in 2025 (deep dive)
At Ohio State, Texas only had 6 penalties: 3 false starts (23 on Baker) and a hold on offense At Florida, it was a mess. 10 penalties, 8 on the offense. 5 false starts and 3 holds (one was decline). Oklahoma was fairly clean - 3 offensive penalties - 2 holds and a false start At Georgia: 5 offensive penalties - 2 false starts and 3 holds. (2 special team penalties) The Bowl Game at Mich was odd as well: 8 offensive, 5 defensive and 2 special teams (one from each group was declined or offset) - these penalties ran the gambit: facemask, holdings, delay of game, block in back, ineligible man down field, false starts, unnecessary roughness

Texas' Penalties in 2025 (deep dive)
Also, I didn't want to throw specific players under the bus, but I have the penalties associated with each individual player as well...

Texas' Penalties in 2025 (deep dive)
We can adjust those penalties accordingly - the offense would have an even bigger share of the blame probably pushing 55%.

Are we going to see a tweet from the Cocks WBB to the Cocks FB accounts of them shaking hands? We need something to get excited about - I turn 50 on Sunday...I need some distraction for that!

Texas' Penalties in 2025 (deep dive)
After hearing everyone talk about how Texas needed to cut down on its penalties next year, I took a deeper dive. I looked at all penalties, even those that were offset or declined. I know am missing one penalty from the Kentucky Overtime as I could not get a play-by-play for those drives (not sure if it was offensive or defensive) In total, Texas had 119 penalties called on them in 2025 - 7 of those were declined and 4 were offset for a total of 108 enforced. for over 900 yards. Of all penalties called (including declined/offsetting) they are broken down as follows: OFFENSE - 64 or 54% DEFENSE - 40 or 34% SPECIAL TEAMS - 14 or 12% Of those penalties - these were the most common: False Start - 26 Holding (offensive) - 25 Personal Fouls/Roughing/Unnecessary Roughness/Unsportsmanlike Conduct - 12 Offsides - 10 (C. Simmons accounted for 5 of them) Defensive Face Mask - 7 Pass Interference/Delay of Game - 5 Defensive Holding - 5 (illegal block, special teams holding, illegal blocks, illegal shifts/formations, ineligible man down field) all had less than 5 more than 1. Intentional grounding - 1. False Starts, Offsides and Delay of Game penalties are all pre-snap penalties - and accounted for more than a 1/3 of Texas penalties. Your personal fouls, lates hits and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are usually post-play fouls and accounted for 10%. By just being more disciplined pre-snap and post play, Texas can easily cut its penalties next season as they accounted for 40% of Texas' penalties. .
