Many of the targets in the 2025 cycle attended Texas Junior Day January 20, and are expected back in the spring for unofficial visits prior to the Longhorns narrowing the focus headed into June official visits.

Anybody have an idea hw many leave after Spring game? Yes I do. Could even be six if anyone hits the portal that's already on campus. Texas/Flood have managed to keep all 2022 and 2023 signees on campus headed into the spring. It's a near lock they won't keep 100% of those guys after next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGL333 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 ok, just concerned that we will have too many, but I know we need OT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a LT and a swing OT/IOL in the 2025 class are likely. The top OT prospect in the state is actually in the 2026 class - John Turntine. Texas will keep the room/tackle spot looking good for him IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as though Texas is going to have an unusual high hit rate on the 2022 OL haul. I think if about only 50% of recruited OL turn into good starters, your program is doing well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goathumper Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Is Devin Coleman a take as a DT or strictly being recruited as IOL? I think Texas should close in on Oddoms if they can and set a floor at OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More projectable as an IOL right now, but definitely getting looks at both by P5's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely four players from that class drafted or on NFL rosters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Gerry, Where are the following on the depth chart? Max Merril Juan Davis S’Maje Burrell Derion Gullette Zac Swanson Savion Red Jaylon Guilbeau Austin Jordan DeAndre Moore Jr. Ryan Niblett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantnelson02 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Banks and Majors are gone after this year. Hayden Conner we shall see. This would be the Ideal O-line for us in 2025: Cam Williams, Neto, Hutson, Campbell, Goosby/Baker. I think Agbo and Robertson are most likely to transfer from 2022 class right now.

Agree with you on best case.. so hard to predict what kids are thinking though.. Agbo has a great niche role now, but does he have a real chance at making an NFL roster as at OL? Is Robertson a longhorn lifer type? I could see Cam Williams going NFL with a crazy season though. Nice to have Goosby, Baker, and Chatman in the pipeline.

I would guess they are gonna give Brown all the eggs and bacon to stay in the class. Brew seems unique enough to be in that category. Fasui and im sure they will push in for one a big time NT.

I really see the 2023 No. 3 ranked class with 8-10 future NFL draft picks out 25 signed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Texas took 5 OL every cycle, I wouldn’t be mad. I’d rather see them over recruit OL (and DL) than skill positions even if it means overall class rankings are lower and some of those guys hit the portal in a year or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachBobbyFinstock Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) In todays portal you don’t have to get as many skill guys out of HS as you once did. Oline and Dline is what should be heavily targeted in HS recruiting. The development curve and it’s not positions where you are going to be able to just go to that well too often. It’s risky. QB, Dline, Oline and LB are the spots imo that you need to hit on in HS. Edited February 18 by CoachBobbyFinstock 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
