Ukponu's Junior Hudl: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16950925/65182b76dfd8460d50cabc35

Texas will be hosting 2025 Denton Guyer DL Xavier Ukponu for an unofficial visit on the big weekend of April 6. Ukponu has been a familiar face around the 40 Acres after visiting once again back in January for the Junior Day. Since then, Ukponu's recruitment has really skyrocketed. Now holding 32 offers, there was a revolving door of coaches in the hallways of Denton Guyer in late January to meet with the 6-foot-3 defensive lineman. The spring months will be rather busy for Ukponu as well. He has plans to visit LSU, Missouri, Oregon, Cal, USC, Tennessee, Kansas, Texas A&M along with the trip to Austin to see Texas again. There are three official visits locked in right now: Oklahoma State on April 12, Florida on May 31-June 2, and Texas A&M on June 21-23. Ukponu tells me and new defensive line coach Kenny Baker speak almost every day and the details for a summer official visit will be discussed when he returns to campus April 6. View full news

Dallas Skyline LB Elijah Bo Barnes has released a top ten for his recruitment. Texas, to no surprise, makes the cut. The Longhorns are expecting Barnes to be back on campus in March for a spring practice. An official visit has yet to be locked in, however, the belief is he will be joining the Longhorns for one of their two big time OV weekends. Barnes will visit Ohio State in March as well.

Unfortunately true. Being unable to perform during the audition period is a big bummer.

With you definitely. A WR in R2 makes more sense, but by then you can expect both Worthy and Mitchell to have heard their names called.

Texas WR and draft hopeful Jordan Whittington will not be partaking in the on-field drills at the NFL Combine this weekend. Whittington spoke with reporters Friday morning ahead of the wide receivers day Saturday. The reason for the former Cuero star to not participate during the Reese's Senior Bowl was due to a hamstring injury he suffered in training. That issue has since lingered to the NFL Combine. Whittington will only participate in the bench press this weekend in Indianapolis, before using the Texas Pro Day as one final on-field audition for NFL scouts. View full news

The Dallas cowboys have had informal meetings with a pair of Texas wide receivers in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine. The Cowboys pick No. 24 and No. 58, a bit of a challenge with where both Texas wide receivers are currently mocked.

It's a head scratcher. Wonder if he tweaked anything during the jumps. No word just yet.

Gerry and I got together tonight to recap the Combine performances from T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy this afternoon in Indianapolis. LB Jaylan Ford went through his measurements plus the vertical and broad jump but did not run or do field drills. View full news

Only one 40-yard dash for T'Vondre Sweat – He runs 5.27 and 1.80 (10-yard split)

40 Yard Dashes taking place now for the defensive linemen, Updates to come.

This is who Kelvin Banks said was the most difficult edge rusher he has faced in his career.

You will see anything in the 1.6's as a good time. For Sweat, anything below 1.75 would be a plus. Murphy will probably see a 1.65 time.

What a quote from Byron Murphy here!

Update on T'Vondre Sweat from Ian Rapoport.

Time for Byron Murphy to make some money this afternoon!

TE Ja'Tavion Sanders has high hopes for Texas as they enter the SEC.
