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.

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.

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.
