    The 2024 NFL Draft will begin at 7 p.m. central tonight with the first round taking place. The second through seventh round will take place Friday and Saturday.
    The Longhorns are expected to set a program record for a seven round draft with eight to ten selections. The 2007 NFL Draft produced seven selections - Michael Griffin, Aaron Ross, Justin Blalock, Tim Crowder, Brian Robinson, Tarell Brown and Kasey Studdard.
    The most players ever selected in the first seven rounds in program history was in 1984 with 10 (17 total in 12 round draft). Nine players were drafted in the first seven rounds of the 1982 draft with 12 total in the 12 rounds.

    Oregon State transfer PG Jordan Pope commits to Texas
    The Texas Longhorns added a huge piece to 2024-25 team this afternoon.
    Oregon State transfer PG/CG Jordan Pope committed to Texas over Texas A&M ten minutes ago. 
    With Pope in the fold, the Longhorns will have constructed a back court that is versatile, multiple ball handlers, multiple shooters from three, size to play big, athleticism, depth and very good offensive feel. The Longhorns will have a deeper and bigger backcourt in 2024-25. 
    Jordan Pope by the numbers
    Pope (6-1.5, 170) averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over 64 games (63 starts) in two seasons. He connected on 43.9% from the field, 37.4% from three and 86.1% from the foul line. He starred as a sophomore averaging 17.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 2023-24. That included 45.1% from the field, 37.1% from three (66 makes) and 87.9% from the free throw line (94 of 107). 
    Pope scored 20 or more in 12 games during the 2023-24 season. He scored a season high 31, including a game winner, against Arizona. 
    His numbers in Pac-12 play included 17.9 points per game with 41 made three's.

    the portal.
    I was told on Tuesday that Jordan had decided to stay at Texas. Obviously, that decision flipped from what I was told yesterday.
    Jordan is a class of 2022 signee and was currently running 3rd team at the star position. Even though he was 3rd team, Jordan was considered a valuable member of the Texas secondary.
    Jordan is the second member of the secondary to declare an intent to transfer in as many days. Returning starting cornerback Terrance Brooks announced a similar decision on Tuesday.
