For what it's worth, I have been keeping a running list of prospects who have announced portal intentions that I believe to needle moving targets for Texas.

I've yet to add any offensive linemen to that list.

Obviously this isn't an exact science, nor is it indicative of what Texas will do. But as of now, I don't see any big time needle moving players so far that would be immediate plug and play options for Texas on the interior.

If and when those players enter, I will make sure mention who I believe to be immediate options.

When that happens, can you just add them to your original post at the top of the page and just keep the list there? Takes forever to sift through all these damn pages…

You have my attention.

Harkless recorded 3 sacks this season at 6-3, 345. 

10 pressures from up the middle would have been tied for 2nd on this year's Texas DL.

Need an over the ball experience. Worthy of close look and OV

He’s also only a sophomore. Could have him a couple more years.

We knew he was out.... never was in. The one guy I truly hoped would rise above. Never could catch the damn ball... smh. So much speed... no good if you can't be trusted to catch the damn ball. Best of luck to him.

Sam Leavitt is rumored to be heading to LSU. Oh boy.

 I never saw him thrown to except maybe once…

That's where the scouting department earns their big bucks.

It's easy to go P4 to P4, but there are always gems from the lower level. I always prefer the bigger school prospects.

This is spot on.

Every NFL draft we see players taken from DII and DIII schools (and lower) that flourish.  Scouts spot the potential.

He looks like a possible take, but ideally as the 3rd guard. Not sure you’d want to rely on a guy like that who has experience and a lot of promise but isn’t a completely proven commodity.

True, but as said in other posts, scout team needs to evaluate for a fit here.  Fingers crossed.

Incredibly overrated and said this last year.  Backyard QB who relied on Skattebo and couldn’t read a defense.  Granted it’s hard to fail in Kiffin’s offense but they could do much better.

Whew thankfully someone said it...
Not worried at all about playing Levitt next year. Playmaker? Sure, but we've faced better playmakers this year already.

He’s gonna have more than just 1 playmaker around him at LSU. I think he will do well under kiffin. I mean look at Trinidad chambliss
