2027 running back Rolesville (N.C.) RB Amir Brown is planning a visit to see the Longhorns. Brown decommitted from North Carolina Wednesday morning and has already set plans for a trip to Austin. Brown tells OnTexasFootball that he hopes to visit the Longhorns the first week of November for the Vanderbilt game at DKR. The 5-foot-10-inch, 200-pound running back currently holds 32 offers, including one from the Longhorns which was extended on May 22 this spring.

Steve Sarkisian was available to field questions from the media on Wednesday’s SEC coaches teleconference ahead of No. 21 Texas traveling to Kentucky for a conference road game on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN). Sarkisian’s normally scheduled obligation occurred one day after the departures of running back Jerrick Gibson and kicker Will Stone from the football program. When asked what went into their respective decisions, Sarkisian didn’t elaborate beyond the facts of the situation. “They wanted to redshirt and transfer,” Sarkisian said. According to Pro Football Focus, the two snaps Gibson logged in last Saturday’s 23-6 win over Oklahoma marked the fourth game in which he’s played this season. The same is true for Stone, who missed the team’s non-conference wins over UTEP and Sam Houston with what Sarkisian indicated was a back ailment. Gibson, the team’s de facto short-yardage back, rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on 37 carries. Even with C.J. Baxter Jr. on the mend after suffering a hamstring injury in the team’s 27-10 win over UTEP on Sept. 13, Sarkisian expressed confidence in the other running backs on the roster picking up the slack. “Who will take those carries is everybody,” Sarkisian said. “Whether that's Tre [Wisner], whether that's Christian [Clark], whether that's James [Simon], whether that's Cedric when he gets back, we've got ample bodies. We should be OK in that aspect of it all.” Mason Shipley, who handled kickoff duties in the two games Stone missed, will resume those responsibilities, Sarkisian said. While the Longhorns have enough scholarship bodies at most positions to avoid in-season departures crippling depth at a particular spot, Sarkisian isn’t a fan of players who feel forced to make decisions like the ones Gibson and Stone deemed best for themselves. The NCAA appears to be on the verge of granting student-athletes five years to complete five seasons of eligibility, a model dubbed the “5 in 5” plan, which Sarkisian believes would curb situations like the one Texas (4-2, 1-1 SEC) is dealing with while competing for a berth in the SEC Championship Game and a third consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff. “I think it's a terrible position to put these players in to make these decisions right now, but there's money involved, there's revenue sharing, there's NIL — there's different factors,” Sarkisian said. “I think it's putting agents and family members and student-athletes in a difficult position to make business decisions in the middle of the season, but that's where we're at. I'm not really here to complain about it; that's just the reality of the situation we're in. When a player asks to do that, I thank him for their time and I wish them the best of luck. I mean, what else are we supposed to do at that juncture? These are the rules that we've put in place. We've got to operate within the parameters of the rules.” View full news story

So he is transferring back to Dangerfield or Carthage I'm confused lol!

For what reason?

Hasn’t practiced in a month

ohio st shouldnt be counted as a loss especially if they go undefeated. 3 loses we get in. penn st not getting in we take their place. yo

Bogus excuse but the only thing I can come up with was coaching wide failure and lack of preparation

Give me Coleman please. I have seen him ball out on everyone when everyone knows he is the only option.

Yeah almost have to win out to get in unless the only loss is in SEC Championship. 5 Conference Champions counting G 5 . Leaves 7 spots and if ND wins out bet they get in. Leaves 6 spots for B10 and SEC to battle over. 5 if ACC squeezes 2 teams GT Miami. That Florida loss was a killer. But can win out and won't be denied. Who knows it's college ball.

Terry is 4lbs heavier than Clark. And about 3 inches taller

I would add that the possible 5-year eligibility rule that they discussed this morning on coffee and football could be a game changer in terms of retention. If Texas can bring back DJ Campbell for a 5th year, it means you don’t have to go into the portal and pay $2 million for an elite interior OL (if that even exists in the portal). It means you potentially have your entire OL back. That could completely alter the portal strategy and the shape of next season.

Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer showed what Florida can be if the right buttons are pushed. If I were Marcus Freeman or someone advising him, I'd have to know what the plans are for the potential administrative changes and what the NIL structure looks like. Commitment to resources is everything in college football now.

How the mighty have fallen. We had an RB room with 5 NFL RBs (Bijan, Roschon, J Brooks, Jayden Blue, Keilan Robinson) not too long ago.

Sark was in preseason mode still trying shiii.

Obviously there is no one correct way to construct a national championship roster. Some programs swear by stacking top-ranked freshman classes, others lean heavily on the transfer portal, and plenty try to swing between the two. What Texas is learning this season is that each path has its strengths — and its pitfalls. Freshman recruits offer long-term upside. They can be developed over multiple seasons into stars who become the backbone of the program. But even five-stars often need time, and the early investment doesn’t always pay off on the field right away. Portal additions, meanwhile, can fill immediate needs and bring experience. They’re the quick-fix solution that can keep a team in contention. The trade-off is short shelf life and roster churn — it’s hard to build identity around players who might only stay a year. The reality is that championships are built on a hybrid model. You need the developmental pipeline of multi-year contributors who know the system, plus targeted transfers who can deliver instant impact. Lean too hard on one side, and you risk either growing pains or instability. Strike the balance, and you’ve got the formula for sustained success.

what happened with Stewart? I missed that one?

Because we need a bigger back? Can’t rely on Baxter yet

He can't get both Dallas Wilson and Cam Coleman. Texas can get at least one of them imo

Cody Campbell may do just that.
