Sunday 4:40pm Notes

- Running back Hollywood Smothers, Yale OL Mikey Bennett and Pitt LB Rasheem Biles were the only official visitors this weekend

- Oklahoma State defensive end Wendell Gregory, who was named the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2025, is thought to be nearing a decision. Texas, Texas Tech and Wisconsin are all involved and he has visited all three schools.

Gregory, who will be a redshirt sophomore, signed with South Carolina before transferring to the Cowboys, where he totaled four sacks, this past year.

- With the pledges of running backs Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers, Christian Clark is expected to officially enter his name into the transfer portal. The redshirt freshman from Phoenix started the Citrus Bowl for the Longhorns and rushed for 100 yards and 1 TD against Michigan.

After the bowl game and the transfers of Tre Wisner and CJ Baxter, many thought Clark would be the heir apparent in the RB room next season. But Texas hit the portal heavily in an attempt to upgrade the room overall.

- Miami defensive tackle Donta Simpson has committed to Missouri. He visited Texas last week.

- Running back CJ Baxter has pledged to Kentucky.

- Neither Bennett nor linebacker Cade Uluave has made a decision yet. Uluave visited Michigan over the weekend.

- Even though it's a recruiting dead period tomorrow through Wednesday, more players will enter the portal tomorrow.

- Texas remains on the lookout for offensive linemen, linebackers and perhaps more.

As for offensive linemen, with the returns of Trevor Goosby, Connor Robertson and Brandon Baker, the Horns are likely looking for at least two more starter-level prospects to compete with Nick Brooks, Dylan Sikorski and others.
