Woodyard will be someone I watch very closely when the portal opens.

Texas will be a player in this race.

Yep🤘🏼

Texas doesn’t really have a choice at LB but to get someone like Woodyard. The cupboard is bare.

Uh, yeah.

[CJ Vogel]

not a bad player, mostly an outside option however. Not sure if the fit is there

[Bunk Moreland]

@CJ Vogel I doubt this happens, but could Texas take two high-level starting LBs out of the portal like Thomas and Woodyard?

[CJ Vogel]

I don't know much about the pursuit or interest of LSU OG Coen Echols, but I do find players with two likely years of time on campus to be very intriguing. 

Echols is a redshirt freshman who scratched the starting lineup in the back end of 2025.

Could they? Yes.

Will they? remains to be seen of that caliber player, but 2 feels like the expectation now.

Does the staff taking Mosley, Kanu, and Watson last year indicate they may be valuing the extra year, or is that just who was available?

Mosley and Watson yes. Kanu was eligible for the draft this year, as was Endries.

Understood on Kanu. Included him because I don’t think anyone really anticipated him playing himself into the draft this year considering he barely played at Ohio st. If the staff can find a few more like him I’ll be thrilled.
