This afternoon the Longhorns offered Jackson, Ala. 2027 RB Ezavier Crowell. Texas joins many other schools who have already offered the freshman standout, as Crowell already holds 15+ offers from the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Oregon, Miami, Ole Miss and more. View full news

As @Bobby Burton wrote earlier, linebackers coach Johnny Nansen is out in California seeing prospects. He isn't the only one, however, as Texas safeties coach Blake Gideon is in Arizona today as well. Gideon stopped by Desert Edge High School in Goodyear, Ariz., as they have a couple of prospects on the Horns' radar. The one garnering the most attention is cornerback Jamar Beal-Goines. The 6-foot, 170-pound defender holds offers from quite a few schools including USC, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Texas A&M, Michigan State and more. Desert Edge is also home to 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman Jalayne Miller. The 2026 prospect holds a handful of offers already. At this time, Texas has yet to offer either. EDIT 5:45 PM: Gideon also went to Mountain Pointe High School in Phoenix today. That’s the home to Texas’ Christian Clark, but also to a pair of prospects. The first being 2025 safety Rylan Dillard-Allen, a 6-foot 170-pound four-star prospect, who is ranked No. 199 overall in the On3 rankings. He has offers from Oregon, Texas A&M, Arizona and more. The other is 2026 linebacker Jaylyn Colter. The sophomore standout holds offers from Oregon, Arizona State, UNLV and Nevada currently.

Here’s the link to the full two round mock draft from Yahoo: https://sports.yahoo.com/2024-nfl-draft-2-round-070038179.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFIcnYVer12s1eutOijSX4Bv5xmKBXr8LSZ6nHp8Y8auwO1ItVK6wqopvrWH_R8xHD7C9Naq0h7AqHOd_Kcw935xgPqp_VPw3nbyGFZGvZ_kdZNAw1kqoy3-K7lXZCPBcz0Ct53VTAt3Y5rgv09U2mVaVD8UjiE_cDqOrIS-Oj-c

Yahoo Sports released their first two round mock draft and they have FIVE Longhorns being taken in the first two rounds… or I guess I should say in the second round, as they predict none will be taken in the first.

Pierce did a great job of explaining the problem with the transfer portal window and the MLB draft when he sat down with us last week. I think every college baseball fan needs to listen to that, because it's a valid concern for ALL programs, not just Texas. With that said, I love this roster and the potential of it. I do wish Texas didn't lose Notre Dame transfer Will Mercer, however. That hurts.

For the 2023 season, the Longhorns ended up with 32 sacks, which was a six-sack improvement from the year before. However, they now are losing three defensive linemen, including arguably two of the best players on defense in T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy II, along with two linebackers. So just how much sack production will be lost as the Horns move forward to the 2024 season? In short: Not much. In somewhat of a surprising result, Texas returns over 65% of that sack production, including three of their top four defenders who recorded the most sacks. Let's also not forger that, due to the transfer portal and recruiting, the Longhorns have added pieces such as defensive end Trey Moore from UTSA (14 sacks last season), defensive tackle Tiaoalii Savea from Arizona (1.5 sacks) and some very talented high schoolers such as five-star edge prospect Colin Simmons.
