    The Duncanville five-star was on campus today for the Texas Relays. Duncanville's notorious 4x100m relay team walked out of the event with a first place finish after yet another sub-40 second time this morning.
    Moore will return to Austin twice next month – April 6 and the spring game April 20.
    The LSU commit has a final four of Oregon, Ohio State, LSU and Texas. An interesting note from speaking with Moore is the proximity to home is something that Texas has above its competition in this race. The Texas staff speaks with Moore every day as you would expect.
    Texas freshman EDGE Colin Simmons swung by Mike A. Myers Stadium. He and Moore are very close and Simmons has been in his ear very often about his time on campus so far. An important factor at the moment.
    Expect official visit dates to be released early April. Moore had yet to announce anything final at the moment when I spoke with him. I see Texas as that 1B team in this recruitment at the moment and depending on how the visits go in April, things could get interesting quickly for the nation's No. 1 overall WR.

    Saturday: The Movers

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    We’re two weeks in to spring practice.
    We’re hearing about some “movers” behind the scenes. And by that term, we mean players who are moving up the depth chart or who are changing the way they are perceived by teammates and coaches alike.
    Here’s a quick rundown.
    1. Tre Wisner RB - while Wisner is likely to play third fiddle to the mix of Jaydon Blue and Cedric Baxter, he could also be forcing himself on the field in a role not all that dissimilar to Keilan Robinson. Wisner is even more versatile than Robinson, because of his ability to truly play the RB position.
    2. Matthew Golden WR - Consistent and reliable. Those are the words folks are using to describe the Houston transfer. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising. But it’s still good to hear.
    3. DeAndre Moore WR - an afterthought by some prior to spring ball, Moore has attacked practice like the game means something extra to him. Coaches and teammates have taken notice.
    4. Amari Niblack/Gunnar Helm TE - anyone thinking Helm would be passed over by the arrival of Niblack are mistaken. The senior from Denver is set to play a lot in 2024. Likewise, Niblack is finding his own niche as a gifted receiver. Both are moving in the right direction.
    5. Neto Umeozulu LG - his move forward really started late last season, but it hasn’t stopped since. For the first time in two years, there is very real competition for the starting left guard spot.
    6. Alex January DT - January has already moved ahead of Sydir Mitchell in the DT pecking order in practice.
    7. Trey Moore DE - even with two returning starters at defensive end, the Longhorns will not be able to keep the UTSA transfer off the field.
    8. Colton Vasek - oft hampered by injury, Vasek is finally seeing some action and looking the part.
    9. Derion Gullette LB - Gullette is starting to make plays during live action.
    10. David Gbenda LB - He is clearly someone Steve Sarkisian and staff are counting on, which is a clear change from just two months ago. He and Anthony Hill are your game one starters.
    11. Gavin Holmes CB - Holmes played the run too soft a year ago and it put him behind a newcomer like Manny Muhammad. This off-season Holmes has taken the constructive criticism to heart and is trying to mix it up more often to prove he’s not a liability in the run game  
    12. Jaylon Guilbeau Star - Guilbeau never really recovered from his knee injury two years ago. But now he’s performing at a better level.
    13. Michael Taaffe  - do not discount his presence in the secondary. A year ago, everyone thought he might play *some*. This year, he is making the move to become the leader of the secondary as well as a team leader.
