  1. 2027 running back Rolesville (N.C.) RB Amir Brown is planning a visit to see the Longhorns.

    Brown decommitted from North Carolina Wednesday morning and has already set plans for a trip to Austin. Brown tells OnTexasFootball that he hopes to visit the Longhorns the first week of November for the Vanderbilt game at DKR.

    The 5-foot-10-inch, 200-pound running back currently holds 32 offers, including one from the Longhorns which was extended on May 22 this spring.

  2. Freshman WR Michael Terry III received reps at running back on Tuesday during practice.

    There had been whispers of Terry receiving some looks from the running back room late last week after getting the bump from the scout team to the actual practice squad for the offense and sure enough, that comes to fruition early this week.

    With Jerrick Gibson leaving the team and Rickey Stewart awol, an additional, capable body has entered the fold for Chad Scott and his room.

    I do not expect to see a lot of Michael Terry III on the field, yet. Through six games, Terry only has six snaps which all came against Sam Houston State. However, there is a plan to keep him involved with hopes of growing his role on the Longhorns as the season continues.

  3. Texas was 10-17 on third downs against Oklahoma, who was the No. 1 3rd down defense in the country coming into the game Saturday.

    Oklahoma had previously allowed just 12 3rd down conversions on 59 attempts. Huge day for the Texas offense.

    After the first three third down attempts, where Texas was 0-3 and averaged  21.7 yards to go for a conversion, the Longhorns then averaged 6.5 yards to go on their next 14 third downs. Huge improvement.

    Star No. 1. – CB Malik Muhammad

    What a return to the field it was for Malik Muhammad on Saturday. The two interceptions were clearly the headline, but Muhammad was nails otherwise. Muhammad added another pass breakup and a tackle for loss to his tally on the afternoon. We talk about players taking the jump in their contract year, well, Muhammad is doing exactly that. We saw how the perception of a true CB1 can help the Texas defense a year ago, hopefully it will do the same in 2025 with Muhammad moving forward.

     

    Star No. 2 – RB Quintrevion Wisner

    Something about playing against the big rivals that turns Wisner into an all-world running back. Baxter is 3-3 as a starting running back eclipsing 100 yards from scrimmage against Oklahoma and Texas A&M in his career, and his effort on Saturday was desperately needed. The Longhorns found a solid bit of rhythm with the outside zone game and Wisner's vision and patience was tremendous. Five receptions for 34 yards as well. 

     

    Star No. 3 – PR Ryan Niblett

    A moment that will be replayed time and time again in this series moving forward put the exclamation point on this football game for the Texas Longhorns. What a moment for Ryan Niblett, what a moment for Jeff Banks' unit and what a moment for the Longhorns and their fans on Saturday.

     

    HM1 Colin Simmons: 2.5 sacks, and a career high number of sacks, Simmons has quietly put together a very solid season through the first half of the year.

    HM2 Arch Manning: The box score isn't the prettiest, only 166 pass yards, but Arch was nails on 3rd downs and tremendous throwing under pressure. How about being pressured 25 times and taking just one sack. He is growing up right before our eyes.
