7/4 at 530….🤘🤘

He did it again, but only ate 66. He must be saving room for some corn dogs for dessert. With mustard of course.

Very Patriotic of them.

This duo would be way better than those two.

Regarding the NFL draft numbers for Texas offensive line signees from 2003-14, I didn't include Tony Hills because he was recruited as a tight end. Also, guys like Donald Hawkins, Trey Hopkins and David Snow probably should've been drafted during that stretch, but they weren't, and I didn't include guys who made NFL rosters as undrafted free agents.

One thing I didn't mention in the article is that Flood does a good job of cross-training his linemen. It not only helps the team manufacture depth so that Texas always has the best five available linemen on the field, but it also lets players figure out their best fit. That will help expedite the process of putting Camara in the best spot early in his career.

Even though a lot has changed since Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood got to Alabama in 2019 and started evaluating, recruiting and developing offensive linemen in college football together, Ismael Camra will get them back to their roots. The 6-foot-6-inch, 335-pound Gilmer product’s Fourth of July commitment to Texas is the Longhorns' biggest, most highly-touted member of a five-man offensive line class. Look no further than Sarkisian’s celebratory social media message as confirmation that even though the staff isn’t married to the acquisition philosophy that bigger is always better, they’ll make an exception for a prospect with Camara’s upside. There are a few approaches Texas could take regarding Camara’s developmental track. Which one might depend on the makeup of the offensive line in 2027, specifically whether right guard Brandon Baker and right tackle Melvin Siani return. If Baker has the kind of season in which he’d be wise to strike while the iron is hot regarding the NFL draft, Camara could have a clearer path to the field at guard. Likewise, Siani’s departure (along with the expected exit of probable 2027 first-round pick Trevor Goosby), would likely push Camara to tackle (unless Baker were to come back for his senior season and kick back outside to tackle), where he’d compete with the likes of Andre Cojoe, Jordan Coleman, Jonte Newman, John Turntine III and fellow 2027 signee Brian Swanson (along with a potential plug-and-play transfer portal addition) for two open tackle spots. Regardless, how Sarkisian and Flood brought Evan Neal along under Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa might be the blueprint for how to maximize Camara’s development. With Jedrick Wills and Alex Leatherwood occupying the tackle spots for the Crimson Tide in 2019, Sarkisian and Flood put Neal into the starting lineup as a true freshman at left guard. When Wills left for the NFL, Neal moved to right tackle for Alabama’s 2020 national championship club, which was spearheaded by Sarkisian’s historic offense. Neal, who moved to left tackle when Flood followed Sarkisian to Texas, was the seventh overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. While Neal’s outcome is a best-case scenario for Camara, what matters is that there’s proof of concept if the Longhorns want to let Camara adjust to the speed of the game and the physicality at guard before sliding him out to tackle. There was a time when an offensive lineman choosing Texas meant rolling the dice on their football career. Over 12 recruiting classes (2003-14) and 43 total signees (41 high school prospects and two junior college transfers), the Longhorns failed to develop a single NFL draft pick. Things started to shift ever-so-slightly in the last decade, thanks to Connor Williams (2015) and Samuel Cosmi (2017). Still, the long-awaited developmental boon has come under Sarkisian and Flood, with five recruiting classes (2018-22) in which the signees spent the majority of their time on campus under the current regime have produced five draft picks, including three from the 2022 haul (Kelvin Banks Jr., DJ Campbell and Cameron Williams). Whether it was how they brought along Neal and the other Crimson Tide players they coached, or what they've done with prospects they've inherited or recruited to Texas on their own, Sarkisian and Flood know what to do to get the most out of Camara. A big human with big-time potential, Camara should feel as though his bright football future is in good hands. View full news story

Could see our RB class being like Wisner and Blue if Landen commits

So this is this year’s newest fried fair food?

Exactly.

Happy Fourth to you all. God has blessed us all with a nation that enjoys unparalleled freedoms. We are free to worship God according to His word, free to have whatever job we want and as many kids as we want, free to enjoy wonderful homes & cars, free to pursue health & happiness. Thank you, Lord (James 1:17).

Come on down Landen! Our RB room looks to be loaded. I love the different running styles, body size, pass catching abilities… Even with RB coach turnover, it’s still one of the strongest rooms in the country year after year!

He looks like a faster version of Emmett Smith...

Nothing more American than watching Canada get blasted on the 4th of July

I watched the first two minutes then looked at the time bar at the bottom of the video. 21 minutes of this stuff? Crazy.

Who’s he fooling with the UH shirt lol

I agree with the point, but ultimately it doesn’t really matter as the ACC will only get one team into the Playoffs (so pick whatever school you’d like to replace Miami in this conversation.)
