Is Jaden Greathouse a comp to Kaydon Finley? Wanted to get yall’s thoughts.

Wisner is a really good college back. He will be RB1 this fall when Texas kicks off against Ohio State. Gibson, in theory, should be better. Ball security and trust was a clear issue a year ago. RB is the only position on the roster for 2025, that did not have a 5-star or All-Conference player on the field in 2024.

Awesome! So much attention this summer by some to lack of elite talent we’ve locked in to 2026 class on offense but in reality, it all starts with having QB1. Hook em! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

I know internally at 247, the Rivals rankings were taken with a large grain of salt. On3 and 247 have a better feel for rankings than Rivals or ESPN. The NFL draft should continue to prove that to be the case.

I think there is a lack of respect for what Wisner did for us last year. PFF recognizes 1000+ yd rusher returning for their 3rd year and the potential of the other backs in the room. I think Gibson is going to show growth. Look at the history of our backs. Year two, after a mediocre first year, (Brooks, Bijan, Blue, etc) they have shown significant improvement. Gibson got some valuable snaps even though the majority of them were short yardage situations.

I disagree with RB. Until I truly know about Baxter’s ability and contribution level I’ll remain skeptical.

Yes!!!

Bro 😂

They wanted him to a certain cap threshold?

lol If it's 8 inches tall and 4 inches in width ... wouldn't have the same affect

Then who??? Buff up on Trey Owens.

I only notice because I like how On3 does the ratings for all 4 services and they are the turd in the punch bowl of the group.

In!

How bout pajama pants and mismatched socks?

For those wondering, Texas wanted Damari Simeon

Rivals lost a lot of credibility a few years back when TJ Shanahan was their # 1 player in Texas, I think # 1 IOL player in the nation and a borderline 5* while ALL the other services had him much lower. Went to A&M, not sure if he started but transferred out. I think not long after this much ridiculed assessment On3 and 247 changed their Composite rankings to lower the % given to Rivals. Hard to take them seriously.

With the roster size for Division I baseball going to 34 and cuts coming, the JUCO level is about to get a nice infusion of bodies with developmental potential.

Here's how PFF rates our various "units" for 2025 - best returning secondary and linebacker units in the country # 1 Secondary # 1 Linebacker # 3 Running Back # 8 Receiver (WR + TE) # 10 DL (includes EDGE, Simmons is # 1 returning EDGE player) Honorable Mention (# 11) Quarterback Outside Top 10 - Offensive Line

The RB could also surprise. Has Gibson improved? Will Baxter or Clark be available by mid/late year? Arch changes the dynamics a little on the run game. Teams have to account for his legs. If both Wisner and Gibson have improved over last year and are able to stay healthy, I would put them above our CB's and maybe even above our TE's. I think with Neal Brown and Jason Endoo, plus some bigger body TE's (shannon, Emaree) we could see some new running game concepts.

Given this ranking, which I would not have a strong disagreement with, defense once again is going to be the overall strength of the team. Last year, Sark leaned on the defense to get to the CFP. The offense just had to be good - not great. Will Sark try to be more aggressive with the offense this year?

I like that about the WR room being the surprise.

I haven’t paid much mind to Rivals’ rankings in years.

Last summer , my general feelin was our secondary was our weak point yet they were our strength!!! ThorpeAward …2nd AlAmer Taeffe and i m w u on the Wr…. They might be like last yrs Surprise of the Season! Throw in the Rb s like Clark … Simeon .. Gibson.

Lulz. Rivals is home of Adam Gorney. Got his feewings hurt when Arch wouldn’t return his messages.

If we are rating position rooms, I would put QB lower on the list. If Arch gets hurt, then what?
