Moderators Hank South Posted 1 hour ago Author Moderators Posted 1 hour ago No. 4 -- Wide receivers From Crawford: "Steve Sarkisian's team is built to win it all, largely due to the investment made in the Longhorns' wideout group. The Longhorns landed Cam Coleman, the top receiver available in the transfer portal this cycle, who had a who's who list of offers but opted to become the centerpiece of the Texas offense. Coleman arrives in Austin after producing 13 touchdowns during two seasons at Auburn and gives Arch Manning another NFL-caliber target on the perimeter. Few teams can match a one-two punch as dangerous as Coleman and Ryan Wingo on the outside. Wingo, a former five-star recruit, led Texas in receiving yards last season and should soften the blow of Texas losing Parker Livingstone to Oklahoma. Alongside Wingo, Emmett Mosley V emerged as a dependable weapon last season, averaging nearly 15 yards per catch, while former blue-chip recruits Kaliq Lockett and Ryan Niblett provide Texas with an abundance of talent waiting for larger roles. Sarkisian can rotate fresh bodies without sacrificing production, a luxury few contenders possess. And of course, there's the budding superstar who's throwing them the football. With Arch Manning entering another season as the face of the program, Texas has a quarterback capable of maximizing every matchup. That's partly why many evaluators consider Texas' pass-catching corps the SEC's best and chart the Longhorns as a national championship favorite." 2 Quote
Moderators Hank South Posted 1 hour ago Author Moderators Posted 1 hour ago No. 9 -- Offensive line "What elevates this unit from good to potentially elite is the influx of portal talent to combine with future first-rounders Trevor Goosby (left tackle) and Brandon Baker (right guard). Texas addressed depth concerns and added proven players expected to secure starting jobs immediately. Those additions not only improve the first five but create competition throughout the room, something every championship contender needs over the course of a long season. Western Kentucky transfer Laurence Seymore successfully got his waiver to play this season and is expected to start at left guard. However, Jaydon Chatman took advantage of his opportunity during spring practice with Seymore away and impressed the Texas staff. Former Wake Forest starter Melvin Siani is holding down the right tackle spot after starting every game last fall for the Demon Deacons. Insiders believe the center job is Connor Robertson's to lose. The versatility of this offensive line group at Texas also stands out. The Longhorns have linemen capable of excelling in pass protection while still generating movement in the running game. That's critical in Sarkisian's offense, which demands athleticism, communication and the ability to execute in space. Devin Coleman and Andre Cojoe are critical depth pieces behind the aforementioned five expected starters." 1 Quote
Moderators Hank South Posted 1 hour ago Author Moderators Posted 1 hour ago Thought it was an interesting take on Brandon Baker. OG is obviously his more natural spot so we'll see if that boosts his draft stock this season. Quote
