  1. A punter who can kick the ball high, far and directionally is what the Longhorns were looking for in the portal.
  2. On Endries as a blocker, Banks said the real challenge for him will be when he has to block Anthony Hill or Colin Simmons in a live period for the first time.
  3. Speed, tackling ability and trust are the three things Banks is looking for in special teamers.
  4. Banks said the sample of Jack Endries’ blocking at Cal made the staff feel like he’d do well in the running game for Longhorns.
  5. Banks said the Texas tight end room is “a lot more versatile” with the additions of Emaree Winston and Nick Townsend.
  6. A Xavier Filsaime mention when Banks mentions potential core special teamers.
  7. Regarding the acquisition of Mason Shipley, Bert Auburn’s struggles on kicks of 45-55 yards played a big role in the decision to get a kicker out of the portal.
  8. The ability to play the run with lighter boxes allowed the Tampa-2 looks (including the 3-safety looks Texas used against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl) to evolve. The defense gradually got better and better at it, so they used it more and more.
  9. PK “feels really good about what we’ve got personnel wise” regarding the pass rush.
  10. Players knowing the expectations of the staff and how the coaches operate is what’s been the key in staff continuity counting.
  11. PK’s vision for the defense in 2025: “We’ve just got to keep getting better… Not resting on our laurels.”
  12. PK on Duane Akina: “I think he’s mellowed out, according to him. He brings a lot of fire.”
  13. OTF will be at the Moncrief Complex this morning for a media availability with the Texas coordinators (Kyle Flood, Pete Kwiatkowski and Jeff Banks) at 10:30 a.m. At 11:30, we’re scheduled to get time with the nine other on-field assistant coaches (AJ Milwee, Chad Scott, Chris Jackson, LaAllan Clark, Kenny Baker, Johnny Nansen, Keynodo Hudson, Mark Orphey and Duane Akina). We’ll provide updates throughout the day on this thread.
  14. Honorable mention to Eddie Jones and Juan Kemp.
  15. Underrated answer and probably the correct one for me.
  16. The game peaked on Warrick's long touchdown!
  17. D'Onta's 51-carry game against Kansas is the best example of what you referenced.
