    State of the Program

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    CJ and I talk about the State of the Program.
    We discuss the Portal and whether or not - and how well - Texas filled its needs.
    The first couple of workouts for the football team.
    And the Horns vs Aggies junior days.

    Steve Sarkisian spent a fair amount of time in Dallas today.
    The Horns’ head coach has already been to both Skyline and South Oak Cliff today.
    One player that is clearly a priority for the Horns this recruiting cycle is Bo Barnes, the linebacker at Skyline.
    It’s the third time Sarkisian or a Texas coach has met with Barnes in the last week (once at junior day and twice at Skyline).

    Texas offered 2025 Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III over the weekend during the Junior Day.
    Terry did not shy away from discussing how much the Texas offer meant to him. Following the trip, Terry mentioned Texas joined TCU and Texas Tech in his top 3 grouping.
    Should Texas fully pursue Terry, I would give them the nod in this recruitment. There are some connections to the Texas program here that will work in the Longhorns' favor behind the scenes.
    The Longhorns did not discuss a specific position on the trip with Terry which is interesting. The do-it-all athlete has been recruited mostly at WR, though there have been other offers ranging across the field, including corner and safety.
    The 6-foot-3 athlete is ranked as the 11th player in the state of Texas for the 2025 cycle per the composite rankings.

    Josh Gibson, the head coach of Texarkana Pleasant-Grove, tells On Texas Football that Lance Jackson, the 6-foot-6, 245-pound defensive end who committed to Texas on Sunday, is expected be a mid-term enrollee.
    In other words, if everything goes right, Jackson would join the Longhorns in January of 2025.

    Former Washington DB Jabbar Muhammad is in Eugene at the moment wrapping up his official to Oregon.
    The Ducks, to me, are the favorite to land the former All-PAC 12 cornerback, despite the family ties Muhammad has to Texas.
    A large reason for that is the snap share Muhammad would have with Oregon, and even Alabama for that matter. It is no secret Texas likes to rotate its defensive backs throughout games and the cornerback position is one that will have several capable bodies fighting for playing time in 2024.
    Oregon is pitching an immediate starting role for Muhammad. With the former DFW native hoping to increase his draft grade with one final collegiate season, playing time is the highest priority on the list. 
    Immediate play time is biggest differentiator in this recruitment to me, and ultimately one that will decide where Muhammad will end up.
