Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe discuss the first week of Texas spring practice. With four practices in the books, who are the early standouts and what are the storylines emerging from the practice field? Whether it's a revamped secondary, a (hopefully) improved pass rush or what makes the running back group special, it looks and sounds like Steve Sarkisian has the Longhorns ready to compete in the SEC in 2024 based on the early feedback and limited eye test during practices.

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe dig into who the Texas Longhorns are counting on for leadership in 2024.

The Flagship: Texas continues to add from the transfer portal

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe discuss the addition of former San Jose State cornerback Jay'Vion Cole from the NCAA transfer portal and Quinn Ewers' history with the deep ball. Cole brings a lot to the table for a Texas secondary starved for more athletes who can be sticky in coverage and while Ewers has struggled to consistently hit on the deep ball down the field, he improved a lot in that department in 2023 and could be even better in 2024.
