Gerry brought up something interesting this morning. What if Spurrier was chosen by Texas after Mackovic was let go instead of Brown? I'm curious how Texas, Oklahoma, and other programs would've been affected by that move. -

Whether one agrees with Pete Priscoβs NFL Top 100 players of 2025, published by CBS Sports on Wednesday, or not, doesnβt matter. Prisco did include one Texas product on the list: Bijan Robinson at No. 39. Prisco ranked Robinson, the 2022 unanimous All-American and the Doak Walker Award winner for the Longhorns, behind only Saquon Barkley (No. 3) of the Philadelphia Eagles, Derrick Henry (No. 14) of the Baltimore Ravens and Jahmyr Gibbs (No. 32) of the Detroit Lions among the leagueβs top running backs. Still, thereβs a lot more to glean from the list than giving a tip of the cap to Robinson, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Specifically, Priscoβs rankings reinforce the importance of the position groups Texas and Steve Sarkisian are prioritizing in high school recruiting. Based on Priscoβs list, 11 of the NFL's top 100 players in 2025 are quarterbacks. Sarkisian was on the Alabama staff in 2016, when Jalen Hurts (No. 52) led the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff title game (Sarkisian was Alabamaβs play-caller on offense for a 35-31 loss to Clemson). Hurts is one of five quarterbacks on the list who suited up for a college program currently in the SEC, but Hurts and Dak Prescott (No. 90) are the only two who joined the conference as high school recruits, with Joe Burrow (No. 7) and Jayden Daniels (No. 33) transferring to LSU (Oklahoma was in the Big 12 when Baker Mayfield, No. 57 on the list, quarterbacked the Sooners). Other than Quinn Ewers, Sarkisian has identified his potential starting quarterbacks on the Forty Acres through the high school ranks. Arch Manning is first up in what, hopefully, becomes a line of homegrown Longhorn signal-callers to pass through the Texas program on their way to the NFL. Seven of the 11 quarterbacks on Priscoβs list were drafted from the same college program they signed with as high school recruits: Prescott from Mississippi State, Patrick Mahomes (No. 1) from Texas Tech, Josh Allen (No. 4) from Wyoming, Lamar Jackson (No. 6) from Louisville, Justin Herbert (No. 49) from Oregon, Jared Goff (No. 77) from Cal and Jordan Love (No. 92) from Utah State. That bodes well for the odds of the vision Sarkisian and AJ Milwee have β to evaluate, acquire and develop high school quarterbacks en route to producing top-tier NFL quarterbacks, without relying on mercenaries from the transfer portal β coming to fruition. Outside of the quarterback position, Sarkisian and the Longhorns have a premium on recruits who can adequately protect Manning and the other Texas quarterbacks, along with those who are most capable of disrupting the opponentβs quarterback. Priscoβs Top 100 includes 36 line-of-scrimmage players: seven interior defensive linemen, eight interior offensive linemen (including three centers), 10 offensive tackles and 11 edge rushers. One-third of those players (12) came from a current SEC program, further proving why the conference is college footballβs ultimate line-of-scrimmage league. Excluding Robinson and Oklahomaβs six players on the list, the 30 players from the SEC considered by Prisco to be among the best of the best in the NFL reflect which schools have been atop the conference over the last decade. Alabama (10 players on the list), LSU (eight) and Georgia (four) have combined for six national championships in the CFP era (since 2014). Regarding the SEC championship, the last 11 conference titles have been split between the Crimson Tide (seven), Bulldogs (three) and Tigers (one). With Sarkisianβs tenure producing 28 picks over the last three drafts after only 24 Longhorns were selected in the 10 previous drafts combined (2013-22), Texas should be better represented on lists like this one in the future. While developing players who go on to be elite in the NFL isnβt the be-all and end-all for a championship-caliber football program, it would be a byproduct of the Longhorns continuing to trend in the right direction regarding player development.
