Texas Is as DEEP as It’s Been Since 2008 — But One Position Still Worries Us

On Texas Football

The On Texas Football crew shares its biggest takeaways from the opening practices of fall camp, beginning with an offensive line that already looks significantly improved. Brandon Baker’s transformation, Laurence Seymore’s quick feet and the return of Cole Hutson give Texas several options to repair the interior, while a loaded receiver room provides Arch Manning with six legitimate Power Four-caliber targets. The staff additions have also allowed Steve Sarkisian to oversee the entire program while veteran assistants provide more specialized coaching.

 

Defensively, Texas could possess its deepest interior rotation since 2022 and one of the nation’s most talented edge rooms around Colin Simmons. However, safety remains the roster’s biggest concern as Derek Williams, Kobe Black and Jonah Williams battle to start beside Jelani McDonald. From the portal additions to the young talent buried on the depth chart, the panel explains why this could be Texas’ deepest team since 2008—and whether that depth can survive a brutal championship schedule.
