    Recruiting.
    It hasn’t been front of mind for many given spring training just closed, but it is really starting to heat up behind the scenes.
    Texas sits at nine commitments. That’s a solid amount.
    Yet with the month of April coming to an end, we will likely see that number at least double in the next 60 days.
    So naturally, recruiting is a primary focus inside the building.
    A few recruits will make decisions in the next 15-30 days, while most are targeting a June decision. A few others will take it into the football season.
    For Texas over the next month, it will be about closing out a couple of those major recruitments while getting ready for the large recruiting weekends in June.
    It’s all about setting things up right and then getting it all to the end.
    As of now, I like where Texas sits with this recruiting class. And more importantly, they like where they sit.

    Many of you have asked about the new indoor facility and the timing of its opening.
    The current plan is to have the indoor facility ready for football’s regular season. A grand opening is tentatively planned for the week before the football season opener.
    That means the Horns will use the Denius practice fields in August before rotating into the indoor facility come late August, early September.
    Texas will be able to show off parts of the new facility during recruiting weekends.

    Texas offensive lineman DJ Campbell was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 200 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Campbell is the third Longhorn picked by the Dolphins in this year's draft, joining linebacker Trey Moore (fourth round, No. 130 overall) and safety Michael Taaffe (fifth round, No. 158 overall).
    Campbell, a former five-star recruit from Arlington (Texas) Bowie, started 43 games over the course of his career at right guard, providing the veteran presence on the O-line after roster turnover ahead of the 2025 season. 
    Campbell is the fifth offensive lineman drafted from the Longhorns in recent years, joining Kelvin Banks, Hayden Conner and Cam Williams in 2025, and Christian Jones in 2024.

    Texas safety Michael Taaffe was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 158 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday.
    The former walk-on turned All-American put together a storybook career in Austin over the course of five years. In all, Taaffe recorded 222 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, 21 pass breakups and seven interceptions, including a pair of picks in back-to-back years against Texas A&M, fittingly enough.
    Taaffe started 36 games, appearing in 53 overall. He earned Second-Team AP All-American honors for his 2024 efforts. The Austin Westlake product opted to come back for one more season in 2025 to help Texas try and get back to the College Football Playoff.
    He’s the fifth Texas defensive back to be selected over the last three drafts, joining Malik Muhammad earlier in the day, Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba in 2025, and Ryan Watts in 2024.

    Texas linebacker Trey Moore was selected by the Miami Dolphins with pick No. 130 overall in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday.
    Moore, a product of Smithson Valley High School, split his career between UTSA and Texas, playing his final two seasons with the Longhorns.
    In all, Moore had 71 tackles, including 15.5 tackles for a loss, and 9.5 sacks in his two seasons in Burnt Orange.
    Moore is the second linebacker to be selected from Texas this draft, after Anthony Hill Jr. was picked by the Tennessee Titans in the second round.
    Moore joins Hill, DeMarvion Overshown and Jaylan Ford as the fourth linebacker drafted out of Texas since Steve Sarkisian took over in Austin in 2021.
