Texas will get a visit from Miami freshman defensive lineman Donta Simpson. Simpson, who is 6-3, 300 pounds, played his high school ball at Chaminade-Madonna High, the same school that produced incoming Texas running back recruit Derek Cooper and Florida State safety Edwin Joseph who visited Texas this weekend. Illinois, Washington and SMU also hope to get Simpson to visit.

Texas has added a long-snapper via the portal. Trey DuBuc, who played at New Mexico last year, has signed with Texas. Texas graduated its starting longsnapper this season.

Love it.

Tight end Michael Masunas, 6-5, 260, from Michigan State is expected to visit Texas today, OTF can confirm. Masunas had 19 receptions for 332 yards and three TDs in 2025. He is a redshirt junior who is primarily known as an inline blocker. Of the 391 snaps he played this past season, only five came from the slot and five came from out wide in the passing game. He started eight of 12 games for the Spartans.

Rod is officially one half of Ian Geffrard BTW.

Welcome to the scrum! 🙂

Arkansas DL transfer Ian Geffrard has committed to Texas. Geffrard, originally from Mableton, Ga., started for the Razorbacks this season. He is 6-foot-5, 380 pounds and is considered an over-the-ball defensive tackle. He is officially Will Muschamp’s first recruit on defense.

Worth adding. Thoughtful note from proud UT graduate DJ Campbell!

Some thoughts... - I like where Texas sits overall right now. - I think any suppositions on Cam Coleman or Jayden Woods are going to be misguided and/or premature. They'll both take multiple visits and go from there. - I think it's a positive sign that Arkansas DL Ian Geffrard came back a second day on his visit. - I think the two starting Michigan OLs - Andrew Sprague and Jake Guarena - would be excellent additions. - Texas seems to be attempting to shore up its kicking game in one weekend. Both Gianni Spetic, a kicker from Memphis, and Mac Chiumento, a punter from Florida State, are on campus currently. - I will be surprised if Wyoming OL Wes King ends up a Longhorn. - UTSA DL Kenny Owozalu is expected to visit today. We're monitoring that. There could be another DL who visits this week depending on that outcome. - There are several players who have announced their intentions to enter the portal but who have not been officially entered yet. Some schools utilize a 48-hour (or two business days rule) that allows a team to delay signing their player into the portal. While some might take that as a bad sign, it's not uncommon. It's also not a tactic Texas was unaware of prior to this weekend.

I have no clue what the far-reaching future holds. None of us do. But Sark is locked and loaded for 2026. Anything beyond that, for any coach anywhere, is just wishcasting. Anyone think James Franklin would be coaching Virginia Tech in 2026? Or Kyle Whittingham coaching Michigan in 2026? Or, the list goes on... Sark has set this up to have a long run. I think that's all anyone can say with certainty.

Need to clarify something: Yesterday, we misidentified Wyoming OL Wes King as Wyoming OL Luke Sandy. Only one Wyoming OL visited yesterday and that was King. We apologize for our confusion. King is not expected to be a priority for the Longhorns in this portal season, at least not at this time.

Hank South of 247Sports has reported that Kenny Owozulu, a defensive end from UTSA, is expected to visit Texas later today. We can confirm that report.

As of right now, I believe we got the name wrong of the Wyoming player who visited Texas yesterday. I do not believe there were two Wyoming OLs on campus.
