We will use this thread to update the offers that have been extended throughout the day. The first goes out to DeMarrion Johnson, a 6-foot-7, 300-pound 2027 OT out of Tyler Legacy.

@CJ Vogel, @Jeff Howe and I sat down for a 30-minute discussion on what to expect from this year’s Texas team…. Is Adrian Rodriguez a superstar in the making? Plus, what were the main takeaways from today’s media availability? And we hooked y’all up with some insider news and notes. All that and more in the video below!

On February 14th, the Longhorns will take the field at Globe Life in Arlington for the first time under new Texas Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle. With just 21 days away from that first pitch, I spoke to a couple of sources to see where things stand. Pitching: Two players in particular have carved out starting roles on the mound. LHP Jared Spencer (Indiana State) looks to be your Friday starter, while LHP Luke Harrison will take the Saturday slot. Spencer has been particularly impressive from what I've been told, with multiple people raving about his abilities. As for Harrison, it sounds like pitching coach Max Weiner has helped him come on really strong (get ready for one heck of a breaking ball). Sunday and the weekday starter(s) are still up in the air at this time. As for Ruger Riojas, I'm told that he's the best all around pitcher on the staff. Look for him to have a very similar role to what Evan Aschenbeck had for Texas A&M last season. He's hands down the best reliever, but may not be seen as a closer. True freshmen Drew Rerick, Jason Flores and Dylan Volantis should all see playing time on the mound this season as well. Fan favorite Ace Whitehead is still battling back from surgery recovery and there is no timetable for his return. Projected Lineup: Catcher - Ryan Galvan 1B - Kimble Schuessler 2B - Ethan Mendoza 3B - Adrian Rodriguez SS - Jalin Flores LF - Easton Winfield CF - Will Gasparino RF - Max Belyeu It wasn't long ago that we weren't sure who will take the starting roles at 1B, 3B and CF, but I've been told that Schuessler, Rodriguez and Gasparino have came on strong. As for Rodriguez, it sounds like he's the best freshman position player out of the bunch at this point. The staff loves that he's a switch hitter and have full faith in him, despite being new on campus. Jonah Williams: In case you missed my update on Williams from yesterday... One source close to the baseball program told me that there is no definitive timetable for Williams return. “I’m not sure. Hoping to be cleared for some stuff and we’ll go from there,” said the source. Williams is doing certain work outs trying to balance being in both baseball and football shape at the same time. He also works with both the football and baseball staff at different parts of the day. As for where he’ll end up on the diamond, I’ve been told that will all work itself out as he continues to get healthier. On the mound or in the outfield are the two options, but the quicker path to earlier playing time will be pitching… for now.

Recording with CJ today, btw.

Definitely. Working on a few things but we will have a good bit of baseball content coming soon.

Cap off the work week with some Coffee and Football starting around 8:10 (or 8:15 or sometimes even 8:20) AM. We will answer your questions and talk all about the latest happenings with the Longhorns.

No. He is not throwing at all at this point. I would temper any expectations of him right now, to be honest.

We’ve been getting A LOT of Jonah Williams questions lately, so I spoke with some sources regarding where things currently stand with him. Williams, an early enrollee, will be a two-sport athlete on the Forty Acres. He’ll attempt to balance both football and baseball, which is no easy task. Toward the end of football season, Williams fractured his clavicle on his left arm. Both staffs do not want to rush him and have been working to rehab that injury as efficiently as possible. One source close to the baseball program told me that there is no definitive timetable for Williams return. “I’m not sure. Hoping to be cleared for some stuff and we’ll go from there,” said the source. Williams is doing certain work outs trying to balance being in both baseball and football shape at the same time. He also works with both the football and baseball staff at different parts of the day.

Austin – No. 4/3/3 Texas Football junior QB Quinn Ewers was named to the Davey O'Brien Postseason Great 8, the Davey O'Brien Foundation announced Wednesday. Ewers was honored for his performance against fourth-seed No. 10/10/12 Arizona State in the CFP Quarterfinal/Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, a game in which he led the Longhorns to a 39-31 overtime victory on January 1 in Atlanta. In that game, he completed 20-of-30 passes for 322 yards and three touchdowns in addition to scoring a rushing touchdown. With the game in the balance, Ewers threw critical touchdown passes on consecutive plays in the overtime sessions. The first was a 28-yard score to WR Matthew Golden on fourth-and-13 in the first overtime that tied the score at 31-31 and kept Texas alive after Arizona State had already scored on its possession. On the next play in double overtime, Ewers found TE Gunnar Helm for a 25-yard touchdown that turned out to be the game-winning score after DB Andrew Mukuba intercepted a pass on the Sun Devils' possession to end the game. Ewers' first touchdown pass provided a 7-3 lead and came on the second offensive play of the game for the Longhorns, which was a 23-yard score to WR DeAndre Moore, Jr. Prior to that, the first offensive play had been a 54-yard pass to Golden to set up the touchdown. Ewers later rushed for a five-yard score that put Texas up, 24-8, early in the fourth quarter. A second-team All-SEC performer and finalist for the Manning Award, Ewers completed 293-of-445 passes (65.8 percent) for 3,472 yards and 31 touchdowns while averaging 248.0 yards per contest in 14 starts this season. Ewers finished sixth in the FBS in passing touchdowns (31), 14th in passing yards (3,472), 14th in points responsible for (202), 25th in passing efficiency (149), 26th in passing yards per game (248.0), 26th in completion percentage (65.8 percent), and 27th in completions per game (20.93). Ewers, who has completed his collegiate career after declaring for the NFL Draft, closed his time as a Longhorn on a 27-game passing touchdown streak – the longest active streak by an FBS quarterback and the second-longest streak in program history behind Colt McCoy's program-record 29 games. The Southlake, Texas, product finished third in the program's record book in both passing touchdowns (68) and passing yards (9,128), and second in most 300-yard passing games in a career (11).
