OTF Premium Winter Whereabouts for the Team | Wednesday 4:00 p.m.

[CJ Vogel]

Some updates for the team as the month of January begins to turn to February.

The full team, to my knowledge, is in Austin. That includes portal additions and of course all of the HS class. The HS class all moved in about 2.5 weeks ago on January 9-10.

Now, things all are in the hands of Torre Becton and his staff.

Winter workouts have begun for the Texas Longhorns. Of course, the ice storm has made things a bit trickier, but ultimately the team has been working out in the weight room and should get going even more on the field for mat drills + conditioning as the days continue.

With the coaches on the road to see 2027 and 2028 prospects, they won't see much of the team for the next week or so. That of course is when Torre Becton's staff comes into play.

Texas is looking to replace a lot of leadership – and I have heard the names of importance for the winter include Arch Manning, Trevor Goosby, Connor Robertson and Ryan Wingo on offense. For the other side of the ball, TyAnthony Smith, Colin Simmons, Hero Kanu and Jelani McDonald are going to be where you sit the leadership start.

I had long wondered what the vocal leadership component would look like for Texas, but believe they will be in good hands, even with 40+ new faces on campus from the portal and high school ranks.

Early enrollee updates should be coming over the next week or so, as their familiarity with the day to day process increases.

So even with the surgeries they had Goosby Wingo and Arch are still present and vocal leaders during winter conditioning?

[BubbaJacques]

Maybe they are even attending some classes at the University of Texas at Austin

[alrightalrightalright]

Can’t wait to see Ty’Anthony Smith and Hero Kanu in 2026

I am very excited to hear updates on tyler atkinson and jermaine bishop since so many on here believe bishop can make an impact as a true freshman on offense.

Interested to see how leadership and communication evolves in the DB room without Michael Taaffe 

[Deep in the heart]

Hopefully they can get creative with Seymour and have him in meetings with zoom. It's 2026 damn it! Make it happen!
