On Texas Football

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel deliver the latest intelligence from Texas’ spirited Saturday night practice at DKR. Rasheem Biles repeatedly created havoc against Arch Manning and was described as one of the roster’s best pure football players, while a fully healthy Justice Terry continued overwhelming blockers at nearly 290 pounds. The Longhorns also unveiled a dangerous NASCAR package featuring Colin Simmons, Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu together in obvious passing situations.

Offensively, Wake Forest transfer Melvin Siani is emerging as an aggressive, physical right tackle who wants to bury defenders and could transform the Longhorns’ running game. The guys also discuss strong performances from Texas’ tight ends, Kohen Brown’s deep-speed role, Emmett Mosley’s playmaking and improved consistency from Ryan Wingo and Jermaine Bishop. Although the defense won the night, the offense produced several encouraging signs throughout the competitive practice.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Lifetime Longhorn Rod Babers examine the biggest weakness Arch Manning must correct during fall camp: the short passing game. Despite ranking among the SEC’s best quarterbacks on intermediate and deep throws, Arch finished last among qualified conference passers in yards per attempt from zero to nine yards. The guys explain how inconsistent timing, ball placement, receiver drops and interior pressure contributed to the problem—and why improvement is critical to unlocking Texas’ RPO and quick-game packages.

The conversation also turns to a quarterback Steve Sarkisian may need this season: KJ Lacey. Texas’ backup has impressed during live periods with his decision-making, rhythm and willingness to take what the defense gives him.

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.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton identify four Longhorns who appear ready to make major jumps after the opening practices of fall camp. Nick Townsend has added approximately 15 pounds without sacrificing his athleticism, creating potential matchup problems at tight end. Brandon Baker’s move from tackle to guard could also unlock his full potential and transform him into an All-SEC performer and early-round NFL Draft prospect.

Defensively, Brad Spence appears perfectly suited for Will Muschamp’s aggressive system after earning a place on every assistant coach’s list of Texas’ best 11 defenders. Zina Umeozulu has also added significant size while retaining the explosiveness that could make him one of the Longhorns’ most dangerous pass rushers. Plus, Bobby and Gerry discuss additional breakout candidates and why Kade Phillips may be the most important player Texas needs to emerge.

Jeff Howe and Lifetime Longhorn Rod Babers examine whether safety could become the fatal flaw that prevents Texas from reaching its championship ceiling. Jelani McDonald is the Longhorns’ only proven “five-tool” safety, while Derek Williams, Kobe Black and Jonah Williams each enter camp with major strengths—and important questions involving coverage, run support, durability and physicality.

The guys explain why Will Muschamp’s aggressive defense leaves safeties with nowhere to hide and how one coverage breakdown could expose the entire unit. They also explore potential contingency plans involving Graceson Littleton and Xavier Filsaime, discuss the developmental impact of Muschamp, Blake Gideon and Mark Stoops, and predict who will start beside McDonald when Texas opens the season.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Lifetime Longhorn Marcus Myers deliver their biggest takeaways from Texas’ first fall camp practice. Transfer guard Laurence Seymore impressed with his effort, explosiveness and movement despite beginning with the third-team offensive line, while Jonah Williams looked unrestricted and several Longhorns displayed noticeable body transformations. The guys also examine the heated competitions at left guard, cornerback and safety.

Steve Sarkisian praised Arch Manning’s opening performance and identified Hollywood Smothers, Michael Terry, Rasheem Biles and Jermaine Bishop among the players who stood out. The crew also discusses Nick Townsend’s development into a more complete tight end, Mark Stoops joining the Texas staff and the NCAA agreement clearing Cole Hutson to return—adding another experienced option to the Longhorns’ offensive line.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton deliver their instant reactions from the first practice of Texas fall camp, where Arch Manning was selected to lead the team into the opening workout and looked sharp connecting with Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman. The biggest positive came from an offensive line that already looks noticeably different, led by Brandon Baker’s body transformation and an encouraging first look at transfer Laurence Seymore.

The guys also break down Will Muschamp’s reshaped secondary, with Kobe Black working exclusively at safety, Xavier Filsaime lining up at nickel and Derek Williams returning without any visible limitations. Plus, they examine Texas’ SEC-caliber defensive front, impressive young running backs and receivers, Jonah Williams’ healthy return and the early depth-chart clues that emerged during a spirited—but brutally hot—opening practice.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton preview the first practice of Texas fall camp and identify the position battles that could immediately reshape the Longhorns’ depth chart. The biggest questions surround Will Muschamp’s secondary: Is Xavier Filsaime now a full-time nickel? Will Kobe Black remain at safety? Who has the advantage between Kade Phillips and Warren Roberson at corner? The guys also examine the competition at left guard, tight end and backup wide receiver.

The discussion turns to the returning players who must prove they are fully healthy, the new defensive leaders who need to emerge and the importance of beginning camp with energy and urgency. From Arch Manning’s timing with his receivers to clean offensive-line execution and mistake-free special teams, Bobby and Gerry explain exactly what they want to see from Texas as its pursuit of a national championship officially begins.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Will Muschamp’s Texas defense possesses enough talent to help win a national championship—but also carries significant risk as it transitions into a more aggressive system. The guys break down the potential for explosive plays, the importance of creating havoc and the unanswered questions at linebacker and in the secondary. They also discuss Brad Spence’s ideal role, the enormous expectations facing the special-teams units and why the left guard battle remains Texas’ biggest concern entering fall camp.

The conversation expands to the preseason Coaches Poll, where Texas landed at No. 4, and why Longhorn fans should embrace championship expectations rather than fear them. Plus, Jeff and CJ reveal their College Football Playoff, SEC and Heisman dark horses—including Florida, Missouri, Louisville, Houston, Washington, Penn State, Demond Williams Jr. and Drew Mestemaker—and examine the schedules that could produce college football’s biggest surprise teams.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Hank South break down Texas’ pursuit of elite edge rusher DJ Jacobs, who remains committed to Ohio State but is expected to visit Austin this fall. With Colin Simmons potentially entering the NFL Draft after the season, the Longhorns are pushing for a massive addition at a premium position—and the Texas–Ohio State night game could provide the perfect setting to change the momentum of his recruitment.

The crew also delivers the latest on five-star receiver Easton Royal, who remains committed to Texas but plans to take his recruitment into December while LSU and Florida continue their pursuit. Plus, the guys identify linebacker, safety and offensive tackle as positions Texas could address through senior evaluations, and Gerry previews several major basketball visits—including top national prospect Beckham Black.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel and Bob Shipley react to Paul Finebaum picking Texas over Georgia to win the 2026 SEC Championship. The crew explains why Will Muschamp’s intimate knowledge of Kirby Smart’s defense could provide Steve Sarkisian with a crucial advantage—and why Texas must improve its running game, red-zone execution and offensive-line play before it can break the championship monopoly held by Georgia, Alabama and LSU.

The discussion also examines whether Texas could make one of the nation’s biggest offensive-line improvements behind Trevor Goosby and Melvin Siani, who both rank among the SEC’s highest-graded tackles. Plus, Hank South explains the latest developments surrounding eligibility and proposed federal college-sports legislation, while the guys discuss the expectations facing reclassified five-star defender John Meredith after receiving the prestigious No. 0 jersey.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South examine three critical questions Texas cannot truly answer during fall camp. Will a more experienced offensive line finally protect Arch Manning and create movement in the running game? Can Laurence Seymore master the Longhorns’ wide-zone scheme and win the left guard job? And if Arch is forced to miss time, is KJ Lacey ready to lead Texas through a meaningful game?

The crew also evaluates whether Will Muschamp’s aggressive defense can fix the coverage breakdowns that plagued Texas late last season. With Colin Simmons creating pressure and Bo Mascoe, Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips playing tighter coverage, the secondary possesses major upside—but the unresolved safety battle remains a concern. Texas State will provide the first test, but the answers may not become clear until Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State arrive in Austin.

Jeff Howe and Bobby Burton examine the overlooked training-camp battles that could determine whether Texas has enough quality depth to survive a potential 16- or 17-game championship season. Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley appear to lead a loaded receiver room, but Jermaine Bishop, Kaliq Lockett, Daylan McCutcheon and Sterling Berkhalter are fighting to become the trusted options Texas can call upon when injuries inevitably strike.

The discussion then turns to a defensive front that could be Texas’ deepest in decades. Justus Terry has an opportunity to become the disruptive interior presence Will Muschamp needs, while Richard Wesley, Smith Orogbo, Colton Vasek and Zina Umeozulu battle for snaps behind Colin Simmons and Lance Jackson. With talented players competing throughout the rotation, Texas may finally possess the depth required to chase a national championship without suffering a dramatic drop-off when its starters leave the field.

Texas has officially reported for fall camp, and Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton, Blake Munroe and national champion Marcus Myers explain what separates a championship-caliber team from everyone else. The crew discusses the focus, confidence and intensity they expect to see when practice opens, why the Ohio State rematch should command everyone’s attention and which overlooked competitions at left guard, safety, tight end and across the defensive rotation could shape the season.

The show also revisits Texas’ major recruiting victory with Landen Williams-Callis and the relationships that helped the Longhorns overcome multiple running backs coach changes. Plus, the guys identify Justus Terry, Richard Wesley and Brad Spence as potential defensive breakouts, debate whether Texas can reach 50 sacks and explain what Steve Sarkisian needs from the unresolved left guard battle to protect Arch Manning and revive the running game.

Randle head coach Brian Randle joins Rod Babers and Gerry Hamilton to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of Landen Williams-Callis’ commitment to Texas. Coach Randle admits Texas A&M held the recruiting advantage for much of the process, but explains how Chris Gilbert’s relationship with Williams-Callis and his family helped the Longhorns completely change the trajectory of the recruitment and land one of the state’s most productive players.

The guys also break down why Williams-Callis’ 5-foot-8 frame can become an advantage, highlighting his low center of gravity, elite vision, contact balance and explosive acceleration. Coach Randle discusses carefully managing his workload, his remarkable strength and durability, and the character that separates him away from football—from protecting classmates from bullying to displaying the maturity and leadership of an “old soul.”

Former Oregon State and NFL running back JaQuizz Rodgers explains why Texas commit Landen Williams-Callis is one of the most gifted backs the Houston area has ever produced. Rodgers breaks down the speed, power, vision and relentless mentality that have allowed Williams-Callis to dominate since his freshman season—and why his height should never be confused with a lack of size, strength or durability.

Rodgers also reveals the advice he gave Williams-Callis just days before his commitment and explains the biggest adjustment awaiting him in college football. With multiple NFL veterans in his family and the opportunity to join Texas’ legendary running back fraternity, Williams-Callis now has the platform to chase the standard established by Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, Jamaal Charles and Bijan Robinson.

The On Texas Football crew reveals which Longhorns they are most excited to watch when training camp begins. Arch Manning returns to full-speed action after missing the spring, while Cam Coleman gets his first opportunity to show how Steve Sarkisian can unlock the complete route-running and yards-after-catch ability that Auburn never fully utilized. The panel also discusses whether Emmett Mosley and freshman Jermaine Bishop can emerge in Texas’ loaded receiver room.

Defensively, Justus Terry and Maraad Watson could provide the interior disruption Will Muschamp’s scheme desperately needs, while five-star safety Jonah Williams enters a critical camp after battling injuries throughout his young career. Plus, the guys examine Texas’ biggest position battle at left guard and explain why Laurence Seymore must prove he can protect Arch, execute the wide-zone scheme and fix the weakness that repeatedly damaged the Longhorns’ offense last season.

College football expert Phil Steele joins Bobby Burton to explain why he ranks Texas No. 4 nationally and believes the Longhorns can win the 2026 national championship. Steele projects Texas to have the nation’s No. 3 offense and No. 8 defense, pointing to Arch Manning’s late-season growth, a dramatically improved offensive line, two proven transfer running backs and the potentially explosive combination of Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo.

Steele also breaks down the SEC championship race between Texas and Georgia, explains why the Longhorns landed several major transfer-portal upgrades and evaluates Texas A&M ahead of the rivalry rematch. Plus, he reveals Alabama as his biggest surprise team, names Gunnar Stockton as a long-shot Heisman candidate and explains why the 2027 NFL Draft quarterback class could be one of the deepest in years.

Rod Babers and Jeff Howe explain why Texas cannot continue treating Arch Manning as its most dependable short-yardage runner. With a talented collection of running backs, tight ends and receivers, Steve Sarkisian must develop a more diverse offensive identity featuring power packages, two-back formations, empty sets and tendency-breaking plays. The Longhorns’ championship hopes could depend on finally becoming efficient on third down and in the red zone without repeatedly putting their quarterback in harm’s way.

The discussion then shifts to Will Muschamp and how his new Texas defense could differ from the units he coordinated in Austin nearly two decades ago. Expect aggressive man coverage, more pressure packages and a relentless pursuit of takeaways—even if that approach occasionally surrenders a big play. Rod and Jeff explain how Muschamp’s havoc-driven philosophy could create early opportunities for Sark’s offense, help Texas play from ahead and unleash Colin Simmons once opponents are forced into predictable passing situations.

Rod Babers and CJ Vogel deliver a blunt assessment of Steve Sarkisian entering his sixth season at Texas. Despite three consecutive double-digit-win seasons, the Longhorns have consistently fallen short of elite status on third down, in the red zone and with their in-game offensive adjustments. With Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons, is this the season Sark finally produces the dominant offense Texas needs to win a national championship?

The guys also discuss Sarkisian’s opportunity to defeat Oklahoma and Texas A&M for a third consecutive season, why the Sooners may present the tougher rivalry matchup and which road games could derail Texas’ title pursuit. Plus, they break down Graceson Littleton’s position in Will Muschamp’s secondary, Laerence Seymore’s upside at left guard, Landon Williams-Callis’ five-star talent and how an aggressive defense could help Texas take control of games early.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Jordan Scruggs deliver the latest intel before elite 2027 running back Landon Williams-Callis announces his commitment. After falling behind following Tashard Choice’s departure, Texas mounted a major comeback through a full-staff recruiting effort and now appears to be the favorite over Texas A&M, SMU and the rest of the field. The crew explains why the Longhorns have surged—and why both Gerry and Jordan are predicting Texas.

Williams-Callis is already one of the most accomplished running backs in Texas high school football history, with an opportunity to challenge several major records during his senior season. The guys examine his historic production, his potential legacy in Austin and how pairing him with Noah Roberts could give Steve Sarkisian an exceptional two-back class while reducing Texas’ future dependence on the transfer portal.

On Texas Football reveals its 10 highest-ranked players on the Longhorns’ 2026 roster—and Arch Manning does not claim the top spot. Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel debate whether Manning’s leadership and control of the offense should make him No. 1 or whether Colin Simmons’ game-changing production, pass-rushing dominance and ability to wreck an opponent’s game plan make him Texas’ best overall player.

The crew also breaks down the championship impact of Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby and Rasheem Biles while identifying the players who must take another step this season. Can Ryan Wingo finally turn his immense potential into consistent production? Will Lance Jackson become the disruptive force Texas needs opposite Simmons? From Bo Mascoe’s versatility to Jelani McDonald’s leadership and Hero Kanu’s development, this episode examines the 10 players who could determine whether Texas wins a national championship.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has legitimate championship-level upside entering the 2026 season. The Longhorns return a quarterback capable of erasing mistakes in Arch Manning, surround him with explosive weapons at receiver and running back, and feature potential havoc creators such as Colin Simmons and Rasheem Biles on defense. However, Texas must eliminate the penalties, negative plays and offensive-line breakdowns that repeatedly forced the offense behind the chains last season.

The conversation then turns to Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and the blueprint Texas can use to disrupt him. Sayin is one of the nation’s most accurate passers when protected, but his production drops dramatically when defenses generate consistent pressure—creating a major opportunity for Will Muschamp’s aggressive scheme. The guys also discuss why the Ohio State matchup could define Texas’ season, Steve Sarkisian’s impressive record against the Longhorns’ biggest rivals and whether Arch can break Colt McCoy’s single-season passing record.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers count down the five Longhorns facing the most pressure entering the 2026 season. The list includes secondary leader Jelani McDonald, offensive line coach Kyle Flood and new kicker Gianni Spetic, who could be asked to decide multiple one-score games against one of the nation’s most difficult schedules. The crew explains why improved leadership, offensive-line cohesion and clutch special-teams play could determine how far Texas goes.

Arch Manning enters the season at No. 2 with Heisman expectations, NFL attention and the responsibility of elevating Texas in its biggest moments. However, the most pressure belongs to Steve Sarkisian, who must turn a loaded roster, an upgraded offense and Will Muschamp’s defense into another College Football Playoff run. Is this finally the season Sark produces an elite offense, defeats the nation’s best teams and gets Texas over the championship hump?

Texas national champions Brian Robison and Tony Hills join Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton to explain what the Longhorns must accomplish when training camp begins. The former Texas standouts emphasize physicality, offensive-line cohesion, pass protection and mastering Will Muschamp’s new defensive system. They also offer an honest assessment of the enormous challenge facing five-star cornerback John Meredith after skipping his senior season of high school to immediately join the Longhorns.

The show also delivers the latest Texas recruiting news, including elite running back Landon Williams-Callis setting his commitment announcement and the ongoing battle to keep explosive receiver Easton Royal in the class. Plus, the crew discusses the growing legal chaos surrounding Ole Miss and LSU, debates Vince Young versus Ricky Williams and begins building a list of the greatest Texas players of the modern era.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel identify the Texas players poised to make the biggest jump during the 2026 season, led by defensive lineman Justus Terry, edge rusher Lance Jackson and linebacker Ty’Anthony Smith. They explain how Will Muschamp could use the Longhorns’ defensive versatility to create pressure, build multiple pass-rush packages and unlock a more aggressive unit around stars such as Colin Simmons and Jelani McDonald.

The conversation also examines whether Jonah Williams can become the missing playmaker at safety, where John Meredith could contribute immediately and how Arch Manning’s statistics might look with improved pass protection. Plus, the guys discuss Texas’ future with sponsored jersey patches, realistic expectations for basketball phenom Marcus Spears Jr. and the offensive coordinators Longhorn fans would rather forget.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Hank South break down Will Muschamp’s complete checklist for recruiting and evaluating defensive backs. From height, arm length and speed to explosiveness, physicality, man-coverage ability and football intelligence, the crew explains exactly what Muschamp wants from every cornerback, safety and nickel in the Texas secondary—and why elite traits can compensate when a prospect does not meet every preferred measurement.

The discussion also examines how John Meredith and Texas’ 2027 defensive back commitments fit Muschamp’s blueprint. Brandon Sherrard emerges as a potential prototype because of his physical coverage style, versatility and impressive offer list, while Montre Jackson and Junior Tu’u​po bring additional speed and coverage ability. The crew also explains why Muschamp’s willingness to personally evaluate prospects could give Texas a major advantage on the recruiting trail.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel, Bob Shipley and Stevie Lee explain why Texas fans should be optimistic entering the 2026 season. The crew breaks down the loaded collection of weapons surrounding Arch Manning, including Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo, Emmett Mosley and a revamped running back room. They also examine Texas’ experienced special-teams units, Justus Terry’s physical transformation and the defensive possibilities created by Will Muschamp’s new scheme.

The discussion turns to the biggest factors that could determine whether Texas finally wins the national championship: staying healthy, controlling the line of scrimmage, protecting Arch, creating explosive plays and performing in clutch situations. The panel also addresses Texas’ costly penalty problem, the possibility of Xavier Filsaime moving to nickel, Laurence Seymore’s fit on the offensive line and whether the Longhorns could produce two 1,000-yard rushers.

Jeff Howe, Rod Babers and CJ Vogel break down one of the most important position battles of Texas training camp: the competition at left guard. The numbers reveal just how damaging the position was last season, as Texas left guards allowed a nation-worst 26.5 percent pressure rate while Arch Manning finished as one of the most pressured quarterbacks in college football. Could All-American transfer Laurence Seymore provide the immediate upgrade the Longhorns desperately need?

The crew examines Seymore’s athleticism, body transformation and fit within Steve Sarkisian’s offense while discussing the other contenders who could challenge him for the starting job. They also explain why improved interior physicality, pass protection and offensive-line cohesion could determine whether Texas fixes its running game, protects Arch Manning and finally executes against elite defenses such as Ohio State, Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, CJ Vogel and Hank South reveal their biggest Texas takeaways from SEC Media Days. The panel discusses Steve Sarkisian’s confidence in what may be the most talented roster he has assembled in Austin, the significance of the Longhorns entering fall camp almost completely healthy and why expectations now extend far beyond simply reaching the College Football Playoff. Texas knows it has a championship-caliber team—and the coaches and players are no longer attempting to downplay that reality.

The crew also examines the questions that could determine whether Texas fulfills those expectations, including improvement along the offensive line, finding the right starting five, creating a more consistent running game and eliminating the costly penalties that plagued the Longhorns last season. With Ohio State arriving in Week 2 and a demanding SEC schedule ahead, Texas cannot afford another slow start. The talent is in place, but execution, discipline and situational football will decide whether the Longhorns become a true national championship team.
