There were two major surprises and one pleasant one on Friday. First, T’Vondre was selected early on by the Tennessee Titans. The consensus view of Sweat slipping out of the early rounds apparently wasn’t one the Titans subscribed to despite Sweat’s DUI arrest two weeks ago. Second, Adonai Mitchell slid all the way to no. 52, likely largely on reports that Mitchell was difficult in practice at both Georgia and Texas. Mitchell will now head to Indianapolis where he’ll get a fresh start. And then the pleasant one… Jonathon Brooks became the second consecutive Longhorn to be selected the first running back in the NFL draft. He’s heading to Carolina. ** Anyone who thought Texas lost to a lesser talented Washington team needs to think twice, particularly on offense. Through the first three rounds, UW has had its QB, three wide receivers and both offensive tackles already taken. ** Michigan currently leads with a total of seven players selected in the first. Texas sits at five thus far. The Wolverines might have as many as 13 players selected by the end of today. That’s even heavier attrition than Texas is likely to see. JT Sanders, Christian Jones and Jaylan Ford will all almost assuredly be drafted, which will give the Horns eight picks total for comparison. ** Good luck to Jordan Whittington, Ryan Watts and Keilan Robinson today. Many think they are all on the fringe of being draft picks. View full news story

He said he’s going in. It sometimes takes a couple of days for appropriate paperwork.

Welcome to the party!

Colorado currently is not the concern. The concern is convincing Williams that Texas is the place he needs to be - that's it, that's what the Horns have to do. So far, so good.

Strange call for me but I’m going Xavier Worthy.

I think you constantly reevaluate staff but I don’t think Austin Jordan is one you do that on.

I just texted with him. He says he hasn't said anything like that.

Love this sort of educational benefit tied to NIL. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240424102155/en/Ouro-Teams-Up-with-Texas-One-Fund-with-Multi-Year-NIL-X-World-Wallet-Financial-Empowerment-Program-for-University-of-Texas-Student-Athletes

Something about this portal recruiting seems less harried than a year ago. Hope it produces better results.

Let’s see what they do in the portal.

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.

It’s possible. Would not say it’s likely at this point.

Let’s see if Texas officially throws its hat in the ring.

Thank you to all of you who came out to either the Posse on Wednesday or Victory Lap on Saturday morning, and to all of you who either came to the spring game or watched it on TV. It was a pleasure meeting everyone and it's awesome to see Longhorn nation kind of coalesce behind the team again (like it was back in the 2000s and other eras). The bottom line is that the sense of excitement around Longhorn football is contagious right now. And nothing that happened on Saturday will dispel that notion. Hook'Em!

Think it may have been a twisted ankle. Not sure. We’ll find out.

Join us at 11am at The Victory Lap. The Victory Lap is just off campus at the corner of 24th Street and San Antonio. Rod and I will be there and hopefully a bunch of Longhorns fans! If we don't see you, enjoy the game!!! Hook'Em!

This is accurate.

When this happens, it's typically because you had started the checkout process previously and then abandoned it and then went back and started a new one. So all you need to do is go to the "More" option in the header, click on "Orders" and you should see the one that has the code applied. If that doesn't work, please send me an email at ontexasfootball@gmail.com or a direct message on this site. Thanks, Bobby

Will do!

There is a limit to walk-ons of 20 I believe. But there's no reason beyond that. And Texas' Bert Auburn is technically a walk-on.

It's illegal. The staff now must be internal. That being said, they could hire a staffer who focuses on a particular state or area.

Virginia institutions still have to abide by NCAA rules or they will be not be eligible for NCAA championships.

For those interested in special fundraising opportunities surrounding the Texas One Fund and the means do so, this could be for you. From the Texas One Fund: https://one.bidpal.net/hornsup/welcome
