Coleman is going to be a monster for us!

Boo. I did not think he would ever leave there and it is a shame that he didn't. I wish the Astros could have gotten him about 10 years ago. What a great player.

Why would Texas black out the number?

I’ve seen enough. Ring us now.

I like it. Maybe he and TyAnthony will be able to use their athletic abilities in coverage while Cryer is thumping inside with the big backs.

Texas Football did not black out Matthews number

Phew... Quite the play from Coleman. Nice coverage and positioning from freshman CB Samari Matthews as well.

My goodness 😲

Related to the SS position at Texas...D1 Baseball named Dee Kennedy a mid-season all American at SS. What caused him to transfer?

Aggy collecting stars again

The RB position in the greater Houston area in 2028 appears to be really strong

Texas offered 2028 4-star QB Graham Simpson earlier this year. He's the younger brother of soon-to-be first round NFL Draft pick Ty Simpson. Simpson told me at the time: "This one meant a lot. I mean, if you were watching college football for the first time and you wanted to know who the true blue bloods were, Texas is one of them. I mean, the Vince Young’s and Colt McCoys, they are two of the greats, and getting an offer from them is definitely a dream come true." I exchanged messages with Simpson's dad today, who told me "I’m sure we will be back in Austin in June." They've been to Texas twice. Once for Alabama/Texas in 2022, and Simpson camped last summer.

Bill Self returning to KU next season. No, this is not an April Fool’s joke.

Especially when you have 105 scholarships too.

lol He would have got injured on the way to the introductory press conference

Made you look. April Fools...

Big believer in having stud kickers and spending scholarships and NIL on them - even more so with the larger roster limits now. Outsized impact on games v. perceived value in my opinion. We mock, but there's nothing like having a Tucker or Dicker or Dickson to control a game ( or F one up)... 🤘

As far as I could find, what Biles did last year at Pitt would’ve been the best PFF-graded season by a Texas linebacker since Hicks in 2014.

I wouldn’t mind another Jordan Hicks.

AUSTIN, Texas — I’ve been waiting for Steve Sarkisian’s status report on Rasheem Biles. He finally delivered one after Tuesday’s practice. It can be tough to gauge a linebacker’s performance in non-padded practices, so patience was required while waiting to hear feedback on how the Pitt transfer was adjusting to life in a Texas uniform and his role in Will Muschamp’s defense. When Sarkisian was rattling off players he’d consider pleasant surprises through seven practices, he described how the All-ACC linebacker has been more of a complete player than what the staff anticipated. “I had an idea we were going to get a flashy player,” Sarkisian said of Biles, who recorded 101 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, six pass breakups, two interceptions (both returned for touchdowns), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 2025. “He's a very good pass rusher. He's physical. He's smart.” Biles didn’t come to the Forty Acres with the kind of hype that accompanied Cam Coleman. The impact Biles has made hasn’t been as intense or felt as quickly as what the Longhorns have gotten from Bo Mascoe (whose versatility was touted by Sarkisian on Tuesday). Still, what can’t be overstated is Biles’ importance to the defense. Every notable Texas defense since Mack Brown’s first season on the job has had a strong heartbeat from the inside linebacker position, including Muschamp’s units (2008-10). Whether it was Rashad Bobino, Emmanuel Acho, Roddrick Muckelroy or Keenan Robinson, Muschamp’s defenses had dependable, productive linebackers playing between an attacking front and a ballhawking secondary. Biles has the kind of skills Muschamp can weaponize. But the only way he can become a chess piece for Muschamp is if Biles gives the Longhorns the same down-to-down consistency he gave Pat Narduzzi’s Panthers during his sophomore and junior seasons. From that standpoint, Biles could give Muschamp the same kind of presence he expected to get when he recruited Jordan Hicks to Texas in 2010. Although Muschamp only coached Hicks for one season, the 10-year NFL veteran left the Forty Acres as an All-American and a third-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Hicks’ last season as a Longhorn (147 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions and four pass breakups in 2014) mirrors the line Biles posted last season. The two seasons also produced eerily similar Pro Football Focus grades: Biles — 83.7 overall, 89.3 run defense, 84 tackling, 82.9 pass rush and 74.4 coverage Hicks — 78.5 overall, 72.1 run defense, 89.8 tackling, 71.8 pass rush and 83.4 coverage Even though Hicks played 13 games in 2014 compared to Biles' 10-game season in 2025, they finished their respective campaigns neck and neck in total pressures (18 for Biles and 16 for Hicks), stops (51 for Biles and 47 for Hicks) and NFL passer rating allowed (66 for Biles and 66.3 for Hicks). Biles is arguably the most accomplished transfer Texas landed during the portal window. With spring practice heading down the home stretch, we should start to hear more reports from behind the scenes that jibe with Biles’ résumé. View full news story
