SMU, Duke and North Texas in attendance already.

Practice for 5-star John Turntine should begin here in the 15-20 minutes or so.

Great read! Thanks for sharing. It doesn't take much to see the talent Arch possesses. Unfortunately for some, the logo on the helmet will prevent them from ever acknowledging how talented he truly is.

I think he would have very high interest after speaking with him today. But sounds like Texas has other DB prospects in mind at the moment.

Donovan Webb says Texas told him last week he will start hearing more from them. Though, communications remain a bit light. Webb did say Texas was a school he always grew up rooting for. Orphey and Akina were the two he heard from earlier in the process. Obviously Orphey stopped by within the last week as well.

Lott is eyeing a July 4th decision date.

Chris Jackson and Mark Orphey both stopped by at Panther Creek late last week. Both sat in with Lott on his trip to Austin last week for the UIL State Track meet. Lott was also able to sit in with Sarkisian on the trip. And Coach Akina stopped by for some one on one conversations. Lott said Akina showed him some DBU tape from Akina’s previous stint at Texas.

Webb is freaky. Just made a crazy leaping INT

Lott moves differently. IMG_8872.mov

Just a freakish athlete.

Lott at cornerback. Will obviously see time at both CB & WR this fall for Panther Creek.

Miami also in attendance today at practice for Jalen Lott and Donovan Webb.

Marist and Louisiana Lafayette in attendance as well. Panther Creek has a really talented 2026 TE in Parker Ord who currently holds 8 offers. Oklahoma State, Arizona, BYU amongst the notable.

Georgia is in person at Panther Creek this afternoon.

Pulling up to Panther Creek to see elite 2026 WR Jalen Lott and DB Donovan Webb.

He was awesome today. Hope he is able to build something at EV

That's something I hadn't thought about. Not a bad idea.

I get the argument, but it didn't stop Texas from trotting out Matthew Golden on KOR in 24 or Xavier Worthy on PR in 23.

Can I interest anyone in Parker Livingstone?

Jonah in the return game.

I guess all that Texas needs is to field punts from the 20-25 yard line and that's the sweet spot for a return lol

Jonah would be really fun as a punt returnman.

Oddly, the last two punt return touchdowns from Texas have each been from 75 yards out.

The Texas staff answered a lot of questions about the 2025 roster in the spring. Several impactful transfer portal additions were made at key positions – both specialist positions, wide receiver, tight end, line backer, defensive line x5 and even quarterback. With those moves, the Texas roster holds depth at just about every position on the field. But one position remains answerless – the return game. In the spring, there were a few names that popped up immediately on day one: Aaron Butler, Daylan McCutcheon and Ryan Wingo. Though, as the spring continued, more options started to arise. By the end of the 15 practices, OTF had heard the names of Ryan Niblett and Warren Roberson on the defensive side of the ball getting looks. As well as Jaime Ffrench joining the race as well. Of course we need to mention DeAndre Moore who was sidelined in the spring with a toe injury, as well as new Stanford WR transfer Emmett Mosley V. In 2024, only Silas Bolden recorded a return in the punt game, while Matthew Golden held all but one of the kickoff returns, the other going to Bolden as well. I don't think it is beyond having your best WR at the position of returnman if the payoff is worth the risk. Xavier Worthy in 2023 was one of the country's best at fielding punts and though the kickoff return game never quite materialized last fall, Texas never wavered on having Golden back deep. So, with the position seemingly up in the air, call your shot on who you would like to see at both kickoff and punt return in 2025. *** My best guess is this: Kickoff – DeAndre Moore Punt – Ryan Niblett or Emmett Mosley

That’s how I’m viewing things now. A bit telling that Texas hasn’t made the trip out there.
