Hook ‘Em!

From College Station to Austin!

Texas lands former Texas A&M freshman offensive tackle Jonte Newman out of the transfer portal.

Newman, originally out of Bridgeland High in Cypress, Texas, makes the move from the Aggies to the Longhorns after just one year. Newman had committed to the Aggies pretty early in his recruitment after being pursued heavily by Texas and many others.

Now, Kyle Flood and Steve Sarkisian get an additional offensive tackle piece for the depth of the offensive line with a very toolsy option.

    People should be stoked. We got a left tackle we had always wanted. Hope he has a great career for us!

    Not going to lie. For a hot second I heard "Jonte" and my brain thought Cook.

    My aggy friends are laughing about this one. This makes zero sense.

    First, you shouldn't have aggy friends.  Second, you shouldn't believe anything an aggy says unless it is a joke- and in most cases the joke is actually a true story.

    I don’t suspect this changes the pursuit for Texas on the OL when it comes the kid from Maryland or Louisville. 

     

    It definitely won’t change anything for Jordan Seaton. 

    Still need at least two guards

    Isn’t taking an Aggie in the portal one of the 7 deadly sins?

    They always do this.  Tell them 27-17 and they will stop.

    I didn’t think I’d need to spell it out, but this is a depth piece for 2026. Eyeing 2027 for contribution at the tackle spot. 

    You should know by now that some people aren’t the brightest. Even if they went to UT
