On Texas Football

Jeff Howe and Gerry Hamilton evaluate Texas’ loaded 2026 freshman class following spring practice and fall camp. Jermaine Bishop Jr., Kosi Okpala, Richard Wesley and Derrek Cooper have separated themselves as immediate contributors who could play meaningful, high-leverage snaps from the beginning of the season—and all four are already displaying traits associated with future NFL players.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and CJ Vogel assess where Texas stands after two fall-camp scrimmages. Will Muschamp’s defense has established itself as a havoc-producing unit capable of generating pressure and forcing turnovers, led by Colin Simmons, Rasheem Biles and emerging playmaker Graceson Littleton. The Longhorns also possess enough defensive-line depth to attack opponents in waves throughout the season.

The biggest remaining question is whether Arch Manning and the Texas offense can consistently carry strong practice performances into game-like situations. Explosive plays and encouraging signs from the running game are present, but slow starts and turnovers remain concerns with Texas State and Ohio State approaching. Which version of the offense will show up when the season begins?

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South reveal the three biggest standouts from Texas’ second fall-camp scrimmage. Freshman linebacker Kosi Okpala may have delivered the best performance on the field, displaying impressive play recognition and versatility while producing a spectacular tipped interception that could have become a pick-six.

The crew also explains how Andre Cojoe has emerged as Texas’ third offensive tackle and why Graceson Littleton’s back-to-back interception performances could place him among Will Muschamp’s top defensive playmakers. Plus, Jermaine Bishop and Richard Wesley earn recognition as two more freshmen forcing their way into the Longhorns’ plans.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South examine the growing concerns surrounding Arch Manning after another uneven Texas scrimmage. Manning struggled early and the offense remained inconsistent, but he responded with explosive completions to Cam Coleman and Emmett Mosley before reportedly delivering an excellent performance during the red-zone portion of practice.

The crew debates whether Manning is simply shaking off rust after missing significant time during the spring or whether expectations for the fourth-year quarterback need to be adjusted. With Texas State, Ohio State and Tennessee looming, can Arch develop the down-to-down consistency Texas needs—or will the Longhorns have to rely on his playmaking ability and their loaded collection of offensive weapons?

The On Texas Football panel reveal what they need to see from the Longhorns in their second fall-camp scrimmage. Can Arch Manning and Texas’ loaded offense finally produce multiple sustained scoring drives, establish a reliable running identity and eliminate the penalties and negative plays that repeatedly put the unit behind the chains?

The crew also examines whether Jonah Williams can seize the open safety job, who would replace Trevor Goosby at left tackle and how Steve Sarkisian could reshape the offense around its explosive receivers and running backs. Plus, they discuss Texas’ tight-end plans, Tyler Atkinson’s development and the ultimate goal for this critical dress rehearsal: meaningful progress without another significant injury.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Hank South react to the breaking news that Ty’Anthony Smith is no longer with the Texas football program. Smith was the Longhorns’ second-leading returning tackler and an important rotational piece, leaving Texas with significantly less experience behind projected starters Justin Cryer, Rasheem Biles and Brad Spence.

The crew examines whether linebacker has suddenly become the biggest concern on Will Muschamp’s defense and which players must step forward before the season begins. Can freshmen Tyler Atkinson, Rocky Cummings and Kosi Okpala handle expanded roles, or will Steve Sarkisian explore the transfer portal for emergency depth? With the second scrimmage approaching, Texas must quickly find answers in a room that now has virtually no margin for error.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel spotlight three Longhorns who need a strong performance in Texas’ second scrimmage, beginning with freshman linebacker Tyler Atkinson. After flashing in the first scrimmage, can the five-star defender prove it was no fluke and earn the coaching staff’s trust? The guys also examine Dylan Sikorski’s opportunity at left guard and why his pass protection could determine his place in the offensive-line rotation.

The discussion then turns to athletic tight end Nick Townsend, who must make his case for a larger role behind Michael Masunas and force Steve Sarkisian to use more 12 personnel. With the second scrimmage serving as Texas’ dress rehearsal, this could be the final major opportunity for Atkinson, Sikorski and Townsend to change the depth chart before the Longhorns begin preparing for the season opener.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South react to Colin Simmons declaring that “intimidation” is the new standard for Texas’ defense under Will Muschamp. Simmons explains how Muschamp has strengthened his understanding of situational football, helped him become a more complete player and created a mentality that is spreading throughout the unit. Could Simmons challenge the all-time college football sack record in his final season at Texas?

The crew also discusses Cam Coleman’s quiet confidence, his work to eliminate drops and the selfless approach he brings to an offense loaded with playmakers. Plus, Jermaine Bishop continues to make an immediate impression, Jonah Williams stacks productive practices and several Longhorns reveal the attention to detail and playoff-driven mindset shaping the team ahead of its pivotal second scrimmage.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South deliver the latest Texas practice intel as Jordan Coleman and Andre Cojoe split first-team opportunities at left tackle during Trevor Goosby’s absence. The staff is keeping Melvin Siani and Brandon Baker together on the right side, while Dylan Sikorski, Cole Hutson and Jaden Chapman provide multiple options as Lawrence Seymour works his way back at left guard.

The guys also break down Texas’ improved linebacker depth, the growing competition between Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu opposite Colin Simmons and the versatility Will Muschamp could unleash with Brad Spence back on the field. With Scrimmage No. 2 approaching, several Longhorns are facing their best—and possibly final—opportunity to secure a spot in the two-deep before game preparation begins.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton, Jordan Scruggs and Hank South deliver the latest on Texas’ biggest recruiting battles, beginning with five-star receiver commit Easton Royal reopening communication with the Longhorns. Royal plans to visit LSU, Florida and Texas during the season, making his trip to Austin for the Ohio State game—and the Longhorns’ November matchup at LSU—critical moments in his recruitment.

The crew also examines Texas’ pursuit of several elite defensive flips, led by No. 1 overall prospect and Ohio State edge commit DJ Jacobs. The Longhorns remain active with additional five-star defenders, multiple offensive tackles and late-rising senior prospects who could emerge before signing day. Plus, Texas basketball prepares to host three five-star visitors, including one of the nation’s top-ranked 2027 players.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers explain why Raheem Biles may be the most indispensable player in Will Muschamp’s defense—even ahead of superstar edge rusher Colin Simmons. Sark has compared Biles’ ability to disrupt practice with Simmons, and Muschamp appears prepared to build a major portion of his aggressive, multiple scheme around the versatile linebacker.

The crew also provides the latest on Trevor Goosby’s recovery timeline and how Texas is replacing him without dismantling the offensive line. Plus, the guys discuss a significantly sharper day for Arch Manning and the offense, why explosive plays are essential to Steve Sarkisian’s success and how the Longhorns’ improved depth could prevent one injury from derailing a championship-caliber season.

Texas All-American and former NFL first-round pick Bryant Westbrook joins Jeff Howe and Rod Babers to revisit his legendary hits, the Longhorns’ final Southwest Conference championship and the rise of Ricky Williams. The DBU great also explains why Will Muschamp can restore a dominant defensive mentality at Texas, shares his expectations for the secondary and identifies freshman John Meredith as a young defensive back with enormous potential.

The show also provides the latest on Trevor Goosby’s knee injury and examines how Texas could restructure its offensive line if the All-American tackle misses time. Jeff and Rod discuss why Arch Manning’s development in the quick passing game could protect the reshuffled unit, the different combinations available to Kyle Flood and the high-risk, high-reward style fans should expect from Muschamp’s aggressive defense.

Gerry Hamilton and Hank South deliver a major update on All-American left tackle Trevor Goosby after MRI results revealed a bone bruise with no ligament damage. Goosby hyperextended his left knee during a non-contact portion of practice and is considered day-to-day with no firm timetable for his return. Most importantly, Texas avoided the season-ending scenario many feared when the injury was first reported.

The guys explain why Texas can be patient with Goosby and allow him to return at full strength without reshuffling the starting offensive line. His absence also creates valuable first-team opportunities for young tackles such as Jontae Newman, Jordan Coleman and Andre Cojoe ahead of the second scrimmage, when Steve Sarkisian expects to give his starters more work and begin finalizing the depth chart.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton deliver the latest on All-American left tackle Trevor Goosby after he suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee during a Texas walkthrough. Goosby reportedly walked off the field without assistance, but the severity remains unknown as his family, the coaching staff and the medical team await MRI results. No diagnosis has been confirmed.

The guys examine how Texas could restructure its offensive line if Goosby misses extended time, including moving Melvin Siani to left tackle, returning Brandon Baker to right tackle or keeping Baker at guard and turning to one of the Longhorns’ young tackles. They also explain why losing Goosby would affect more than pass protection, as Texas would need to replace the leadership of the offensive line’s veteran anchor.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel react to Texas landing at No. 5 in the preseason AP Top 25 and explain why the ranking feels fair for a team with legitimate national championship talent. The Longhorns open behind Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia and Notre Dame, setting up a massive top-five showdown with the Buckeyes in Austin. But with seven ranked opponents—including five inside the top 11—Texas faces one of the most difficult schedules in college football.

The guys compare Arch Manning’s situation with fellow contenders CJ Carr and Dante Moore, debate where the true championship tier ends and identify what separates Texas from the teams ranked ahead of it. With proven stars such as Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo, Colin Simmons and Raheem Biles, the talent is undeniable. Now the question is whether the Longhorns can handle the expectations, survive a brutal road schedule and execute well enough to reach the College Football Playoff.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel react to Steve Sarkisian’s latest press conference and his eye-opening praise for transfer tackle Melvin Siani, whom Sark called a far more physical run blocker than expected. The guys explain why Siani, Trevor Goosby and Brandon Baker could give Texas an elite foundation up front, while providing the latest on Lawrence Seymour’s injury “hiccup” and the returns of Ty’Anthony Smith, Justice Terry, Brad Spence and John Meredith.

The conversation also examines Sark’s expanding circle of trust around Arch Manning, including Cam Coleman, Hollywood Smothers, Raleek Brown, Derrek Cooper and Texas’ deep receiver room. Plus, the crew breaks down Jonah Williams and Kobe Black strengthening the safety rotation, Will Muschamp’s commanding presence during the first scrimmage and what Texas must accomplish before its dress rehearsal and the massive No. 1 Ohio State showdown.

Rod Babers and Gerry Hamilton reveal the two developments that could transform Texas into a national championship team: Arch Manning becoming an elite, clutch quarterback and Will Muschamp producing a dominant defense. The guys compare this roster with the legendary 2005 Longhorns, identify the position groups that may be even deeper and explain why the growth of the nation’s top second-year quarterbacks could determine the College Football Playoff race.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South identify three Longhorns whose stock is rising after Texas’ first fall-camp scrimmage. Defensive lineman Maraad Watson emerged as one of the team’s best interior run defenders, while five-star freshman linebacker Tyler Atkinson took advantage of missing veterans to earn valuable snaps with the first-team defense.

The biggest winner may have been Jonah Williams, who intercepted a pass in the red zone and delivered multiple impressive open-field tackles. The crew explains why Williams’ healthy offseason could finally unlock his five-star potential, how Atkinson can climb a crowded linebacker depth chart and why Watson’s versatility could make him an essential piece of Will Muschamp’s defense.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton break down the explosive playmakers emerging from Texas’ first fall-camp scrimmage. Cam Coleman continues to look like a future first-round receiver with his contested-catch ability, while Ryan Wingo, Jermaine Bishop and Emmett Mosley give the Longhorns remarkable depth. The running backs were equally impressive, as Raleek Brown, Hollywood Smothers and Derrek Cooper showed they can create explosive plays in both the running and passing games.

The crew explains why this collection of weapons could allow Steve Sarkisian to build his most versatile and difficult-to-defend offense at Texas. On defense, Colin Simmons dominated limited action with two potential sacks and a forced fumble, while Jonah Williams delivered an interception and an impressive open-field tackle. Can Texas turn all this firepower into a championship offense—and which emerging stars will secure major roles before the second scrimmage?

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Lifetime Longhorn Marcus Myers reveal three major winners from Texas’ first fall-camp scrimmage. Ryan Wingo, Cam Coleman, Jermaine Bishop and Kohen Brown showcased the remarkable depth of the Longhorns’ receiver room, while Will Muschamp’s aggressive secondary answered with tight coverage, multiple interceptions and no reported major busts. The crew explains why both groups emerging from the scrimmage with momentum is an extremely encouraging sign for Texas.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel unpack Steve Sarkisian’s reaction to Texas’ first fall-camp scrimmage, where the defense narrowly won after intercepting Arch Manning twice. Sark provides important context for Manning’s uneven performance, including long gaps between snaps and his lack of live action since the Citrus Bowl, while praising Jonah Williams and Grayson Littleton for making outstanding plays. Despite the turnovers, all three Texas quarterbacks produced touchdowns.

The guys also break down an encouraging day for the offensive line and running game, Laurence Seymore opening at first-team left guard and freshman Derrek Cooper emerging as a physical playmaker who could demand meaningful snaps. Plus, Jermaine Bishop and Texas’ young linebackers take advantage of expanded opportunities as the Longhorns’ impressive depth begins to reveal itself ahead of the critical second scrimmage.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel deliver their instant reactions to Texas’ first fall-camp scrimmage, where Will Muschamp’s defense narrowly won the day despite missing Rasheem Biles and several other contributors. Arch Manning threw two interceptions—including a 75-yard pick-six by Graceson Littleton—but also connected with Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo for explosive touchdowns as the offense worked through its first live action since January.

Freshmen Derrek Cooper and Jermaine Bishop generated major buzz after receiving extended opportunities, while Lawrence Seymour opened the scrimmage as the first-team left guard. The crew also breaks down big plays from Jonah Williams, Kobe Black and Kade Phillips, the encouraging depth displayed across the defense and Gianni Spetic responding to an early miss by making five consecutive field goals.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel and Bob Shipley react to Rasheem Biles revealing why he rejected Ohio State after entering the transfer portal. The Columbus-area native said the Buckeyes overlooked him coming out of high school, and now he will face his hometown program in one of Texas’ biggest games of the season. The crew explains how Will Muschamp is moving Biles throughout the defense to turn him into another disruptive weapon alongside Colin Simmons.

The guys also break down Lance Jackson’s description of Texas’ new attacking defense, which will feature more blitzes, stunts and aggressive pressure packages. Plus, they discuss the five Longhorns named first-team preseason All-Americans by ESPN, identify the Texas defensive backs capable of earning postseason honors and explain why Bo Mascoe could become the secondary’s next breakout star.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel identify the three Longhorns with the most to prove in Texas’ first fall-camp scrimmage. Ty’Anthony Smith must close the gap on Justin Cryer at linebacker, while tight end Nick Townsend has an opportunity to turn his rare athleticism and physicality into a consistent role within Steve Sarkisian’s offense.

The biggest urgency belongs to Texas’ safety room, where someone must emerge behind Jelani McDonald and Derek Williams. The guys examine the uncertain outlook for Jonah Williams, Kobe Black and the other contenders while explaining why Saturday could reshape the depth chart. Plus, they discuss the ongoing left guard battle and why kicker Gianni Spetic must begin establishing himself as a reliable replacement for Mason Shipley.

Bobby Burton, CJ Vogel and Hank South deliver the biggest developments from Texas’ seventh fall-camp practice, led by a significant change along the offensive line. Laurence Seymore opened the team period with the first-team offense at left guard after Dylan Sikorski previously led the competition, while veteran Cole Hutson returned to full-pads work and could soon add another contender to the Longhorns’ most important position battle.

The crew also breaks down Raleek Brown, Hollywood Smothers and freshman Derrek Cooper’s contrasting running styles, including Cooper’s advanced pass protection. Plus, Warren Roberson receives a surprising look at safety, Melvin Siani continues setting a more physical tone up front and a 20-pound-heavier Lance Jackson reveals how Texas plans to move him throughout Will Muschamp’s defense.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has officially entered championship-or-bust territory in 2026. With potentially one season remaining before Arch Manning enters the NFL Draft, the Longhorns possess the quarterback, roster depth and continuity needed to win it all—but anything short of a national title could leave fans wondering when another opportunity this strong will arrive.

The guys also reveal the latest fall-camp intel on Derek Williams, Kade Phillips and the left guard battle between Dylan Sikorski and Laurence Seymore. Plus, they explore Graceson Littleton’s potential move to safety, break down Will Muschamp’s options for defending Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith and debate which Longhorn legends were unfairly excluded from OTF’s top 25 players of the modern era.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Rod Babers deliver the latest intel from a crowded Texas secondary, where Derek Williams is beginning to separate from Kobe Black and Jonah Williams in the competition to start alongside Jelani McDonald. The crew explains why Williams’ renewed physicality is encouraging, what Black must learn after changing positions and why a healthy Jonah still possesses one of the highest ceilings in the defensive back room.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers reveal the two biggest positives emerging from the opening week of Texas fall camp. Rasheem Biles has become a major problem for the offense as Will Muschamp moves him around the formation, giving opponents another dangerous playmaker to locate alongside Colin Simmons. The Longhorns’ offensive firepower has also lived up to the hype, with Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons capable of transforming last season’s inconsistent attack.

The crew also examines the two questions Texas must answer before facing Ohio State: left guard and the second safety position. Can Laurence Seymore overtake Dylan Sikorski once the pads begin popping, and is Derek Williams healthy enough to secure the job alongside Jelani McDonald? Plus, they evaluate the alternatives at safety and explain why improved line play, fewer penalties and more explosive runs will be essential against the nation’s toughest schedule.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton, Jordan Scruggs and Hank South reveal the loaded group of elite recruits expected in Austin for Texas’ primetime showdown with Ohio State. The preliminary list already features the nation’s top two 2028 edge prospects, several priority defensive linemen, elite receiver Champ Mays and Texas quarterback commit Neimann Lawrence, while five-star offensive lineman Ismael Camara is scheduled to make his official visit.

The crew also delivers the latest on Easton Royal’s fall visit schedule and explains why the atmosphere surrounding Texas–Ohio State could matter more to recruits than the final score. Plus, Gerry provides a detailed evaluation of four-star cornerback commit Brandon Sherrard, including his improved size, positional versatility, winner’s mentality and the area of his game he wants to sharpen before arriving on the Forty Acres.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South break down the three biggest developments in Texas’ revamped running back room. New position coach Jabbar Juluke wants the Longhorns to become the most violent runners in the country, and transfers Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers are bringing the physicality, versatility and proven production needed to take pressure off Arch Manning.

The biggest fall-camp riser may be freshman Derrek Cooper, whose pass protection, toughness and experience at linebacker have created an immediate path to playing time. The crew also reveals Brown’s surprising short-yardage success, explores Michael Terry’s potential role in two-back formations and explains why the Longhorns’ improved depth could make this rushing attack dramatically less predictable in 2026.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel, Bob Shipley and Stevie Lee react to Steve Sarkisian’s eye-opening comparison of Cam Coleman to NFL legend Julio Jones following the receiver’s viral one-handed catch at Texas practice. The crew explains how Coleman’s catch radius, body control and vertical speed could transform the Longhorns’ offense while discussing Arch Manning’s growing confidence, his trash-talking exchange with Colin Simmons and the intense physicality taking over fall camp.

The conversation also examines Texas’ championship expectations, with the panel projecting a 10-2 or 11-1 regular season and debating why missing the College Football Playoff would be a catastrophe for such a talented roster. Plus, they identify under-the-radar freshmen making noise, break down the difficult matchups against Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU and Tennessee, and explain what must happen for Steve Sarkisian to produce his best offense yet in Austin.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel reveal the four true freshmen already positioned to earn meaningful snaps for Texas in 2026. The newest addition is linebacker Kosi Okpala, who has worked exclusively with the second team while showing the intelligence and versatility to play inside or fill Will Muschamp’s crucial overhang role. At 6-foot-3 and nearly 240 pounds, Okpala has quickly earned the defensive staff’s trust.

Edge rusher Richard Wesley could crack Texas’ loaded rotation, while Steve Sarkisian must find creative ways to put the ball in Jermaine Bishop’s hands. Physical running back Derrek Cooper also brings the violent style and contagious energy Texas lacked during difficult road games last season.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South break down everything Steve Sarkisian revealed following Texas’ latest fall camp practice. Sark compared Cam Coleman’s rare combination of size, catch radius and long speed to Julio Jones, while also revealing that Arch Manning talks considerably more trash than outsiders realize. The Longhorns’ competitive banter, player-led leadership and increased physicality have created an encouraging tone before the team enters full pads.

The guys also discuss significant improvement throughout the running back room, Michael Terry’s potential role in two-back packages and the physical edge Melvin Siani has brought to the offensive line. Plus, Cole Hutson begins his acclimation period, Derek Williams emerges as a defensive leader and freshman receiver Kohen Brown continues turning heads after surpassing 23 miles per hour during summer conditioning.
