Pay the man!

Lefau probably wants to get paid and Sark doesn't want to match.

Now we have to get a solid LB, possibly 2

Smith, Spence, Barnes, Atkinson, and a portal addition still keeps it a strong room 🤘

Nansen has been a very underwhelming hire.

Fully trust Sark to bring in his replacement quick but man this one stings.

Complete surprise or on the radar?

Btw guys the thread about Texas portal entrants has notes from CJ about why

Genuinely thought Lefau would be a captain next year. Consistent starter, dawg mentality, had some media responsibilities this year. That one is confounding (without knowing what's gone on behind the scenes). Major rebuild at LB needed all of a sudden (as opposed to just an experienced role player).

Damn, thought he balled out for us.

Wow…shocking. I guess he was losing snaps to T Smith. But we really could have used his experience next year. LB suddenly became a major portal need.

We’ll be fine, but it’ll take some work to get there. Lefau is too good a player to let walk.

This sucks, REALLY need to hit on a portal LB now

Don't know about that, we just lost a starter for next year at a position that was already thin

Now to either get another LB in the portal or hope a young guy can step up. You obviously don’t want to have to rely on a true freshman, but I bet Atkinson will get a lot more snaps than expected.

Not good Bob

This is confirmed.

To quote Hank Hill..."Yep." To quote me..."Damn." You never know all the details, but I am surprised. Hook 'Em!

Sucks, but we will be more than alright. Best of luck Lefau 🤘

Dang. That one hurts.

247 saying he wasn't at practice and they're working to confirm his status in the team... Doesn't make sense to me, clear cut starter for next year

I see the story up on twitter. I sure didn’t pick up any hints about this. Any other sources confirming?

WOW!

Just my observation after watching CFB since 1968... the table was set for the Longhorns after the '23 and '24 seasons because Texas was "close," and the CFB media ranked them #1 in anticipation of the Ohio State matchup. Then... after playing fairly well at Ohio State, the OL and the Offense were slow to "Jell," and Arch inexplicably got the Yips. Even more inexplicably, the team was a No-Show against Florida. Texas was focused vs OU and things came together in the RRR. Then again, some focus and momentum was lost in subpar performances in SEC games, even in wins like Kentucky and Mississippi State. At that point, all the early season goodwill was gone as the media and sports pundits wrote off the Longhorns and stopped paying attention. The media meme was Texas blew it, so see you in '26. Then the Offense played better but the Defense blew some coverages and although Texas was winning, they probably needed to be blowing out opponents in order to get back into CFB playoff contention. Georgia was just a better team... and that was that for '25. A big Meh from the media and pundits. Inside of all that, Simmons was just overlooked. I think if Texas was playing well and winning handily headed for the CFP... Simmons would have been First Team AA. I'm thinking he'll use this as motivation for '26 and if the team plays well dealing with a difficult schedule he will be a First Round DC and win some CFB awards. Thanks for your excellent ongoing coverage. Hook 'Em!
