I have alluded to this over the past week or so, but I am monitoring a decision for DeAndre Moore. Based off of sourcing over the last month, the conversation surrounding Moore has settled on a departure, though the destination remains uncertain. The intel has flipped back and forth between an entrance to the portal and that of the NFL Draft. Right now, I lean Draft. Regardless, I am not expecting Moore back on the roster in 2026. Moore, a junior, started 11 games for Texas this season.

Nice move for him. That’s a clear step up and good for his résumé. Also… if one staffer leaving “hurts” Texas, then the whole operation was way more duct-taped together than anyone wants to admit — and that’s simply not how Sark runs things. This program isn’t dependent on one guy with a spreadsheet. It’s layered, it’s resourced, and it’s built to reload. If anything, this is just an opportunity to modernize or upgrade the role even more for the portal/NIL era. Wish him well. Replace him. Move on.

This isn’t the thread for it, but is anyone able to explain the NIL news today with Utah?

he a lot smaller than moseley.

sucks for me cuz i wanted to catch a game lol

I like it, allows more rest until next match.

His blocking ability would be a plus to the Texas staff. My only question is whether he has elite burst. Otherwise, he feels duplicative of Mosley.

How do we host a regional and get the 12 PM game? Make it make sense

Hearing him talk makes me understand why Arkansas sucks at football and other sports.

My comparison is Burrow before his senior year. Leavitt is statistically is a superior QB to Burrow at the same point in both their college careers.

Burrow as a junior was an afterthought to everyone. He didn't scare anyone before his senior year. Disagree all you want, no one thought Joe Burrow was anything special.

Touchdown scorer

Pretty good

Jeez Yale? He has the brains to pick up a playbook fast too

really talented player

I'm sorry but I'll have to strongly disagree on that comparison. Leavitt is much closer to Mateer than he will ever be to Burrow. Burrow had and still has an amazing instinct both in the pocket and in his downfield vision in finding zones and "pockets" of free space to attack the defense. That's what made him great, an uncanny vision/processing/memory accompanied by a very accurate arm. He manipulated defenses with his eyes. Leavitt is a gamer, he's slippery, he'll never be the processor and pocket passer that Joe Burrow was/is.

Careful, he is an amazing escape artist similar to what Burrow was. The talent at LSU will dwarf ASU.

Again, he's been good. Wouldn't call his full body of work great. Not calling for his job, just saying I think we would be ok with another guy. Also, there is ample room for the other guy to be even better. Especially at recruiting. Another thing: both of the guys you listed were late round selections. Jones was a quality placement in the draft based upon how much he had to be coached up, but in reality in 2025 every OL from Texas should be going to the draft with the resources we have. We should be able to recruit OL at a top 5 to top 10 level and develop all of our starters into at least seventh round picks. When we have OL starters going as FAs, that's when we're putting up under 50 yards rushing vs quality defenses and making Arch run for his life.

There's actually another person on the committee that was a former Arkansas AD, Chris Long. So at least 1/6 of the voices on the committee are from Arky. I think 2 people on a committee could be pretty persuasive. But Arkansas is just one of the chiefs of Texas hate. And Yurachek is the chair. The chair does take responsibility for the actions and decisions of the committee. That always comes with the territory of being a/the leader.

Flood has 2 RTs drafted Jones and Williams!

No, it's not bad. And I don't want Flood to leave. But "always top notch" is a strong statement with only 2 LTs in his track record. The RTs have been good not great imo. Again, I don't want Flood to leave. But I don't think it would be the end of the world if he did. I haven't been absolutely blown away by his full body of work, or his recruiting. I think upgrading could be a possibility.
