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.
