That’s all for Sarkisian today. We will have more on the Wednesday Livestream this evening with myself, Rod Babers and Jeff Howe.

Sarkisian says it might’ve been a bit intentional to get Colin Simmons and Ethan Burke under the skin of the newer offensive linemen. Trying to understand where their mindsets were at early on in camp when facing other top comp.

Sarkisian calls TE Jack Endries a “cerebral guy.” Says with this being his first practice, things were going quick for him but he wanted to make sure he was taking things in each snap he was on the field.

Sarkisian credits Cj Baxter for his long road on his recovery for bringing focus and energy while also having a great first practice. Says the combination of Wisner (who he called the Energizer Bunny) and Baxter is a huge boost to the offense as a whole.

Sarkisian says he thinks Cj Baxter and Derek Williams “both looked really good” Williams is a bit ahead of Baxter in his recovery timeline Says Baxter may have looked a little better than anticipated coming into practice.

Ryan Wingo was mentioned as a guy who had a great summer by Sarkisian. Says he can “run all day” north of 200 pounds. Hero Kanu also receives some recognition for taking his summer workouts to “another level.” As did Zina Umeozulu says Steve Sarkisian. Jerrick Gibson received some praise too, sark says he’s in great shape.

Sarkisian says for Ethan Burke, it’s been the best summer and offseason for him as a Longhorn. Sark points to the work done on his body as a huge positive “He plays a relentless brand of football.” Says Ethan has really tried to “seize the opportunity” “He was one of the players of the spring for us.”

Texas will practice four times this week, then Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, Friday followed by a scrimmage on Saturday.

Sarkisian says the mental focus and intensity must improve due to the fatigue and heat of fall camp. Sark says he thought practice 1 one was competitive and that his team looked fast.

“I thought the guys overall — it was a good first day. I thought they were intentional with their approach.”

Steve Sarkisian is off the practice field (and back into air condition) to speak with the media for the first time this fall camp. notes and quotes in the comments below.

No surprise to me. My daughter tore her ACL and it was a process. Baxter blew his out completely. I’m thinking Octoberisn possibly.
