    Continuing our countdown with No. 69, and this one is a little different. The clear headliner is Dan Neil, one of the best offensive linemen to ever come through Texas. Neil was a four-year starter, made 49 consecutive starts, earned consensus All-American honors in 1996 and helped Texas win both the 1995 SWC title and 1996 Big 12 title before starting on back-to-back Super Bowl teams with the Denver Broncos. Olen Underwood is the other big name here. A two-way lineman from 1962-64, Underwood was part of Texas’ 1963 national championship team, earned All-SWC honors in 1964, later played seven pro seasons and made the 1968 Pro Bowl. And since this is No. 69, you can’t ignore the 1969 Texas Longhorns. That team went 11-0, won the national championship, beat No. 2 Arkansas in the “Game of the Century,” beat Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl, averaged more than 41 points per game and rushed for 363 yards per game.

    I was actually going to include him but I couldn’t find a good picture. It’s the first time someone has been left off due to that.

    My apologies for just getting this posted. It’s a basketball tournament day, so it’s madness. Better late than never!

    No. 70 has been worn by some outstanding offensive linemen in Texas history. Scott Appleton headlines the list after winning the 1963 Outland Trophy and helping lead the Longhorns to a national championship. Leonard Davis became a consensus All-American before being selected No. 2 overall in the 2001 NFL Draft. More recently, Christian Jones started 48 games and was a key piece of Texas’ return to the College Football Playoff. Current No. 70: Kaden Scherer.

    Texas infielder Casey Borba has announced his return to school. As I had reported previously, Borba was on the fence about testing the MLB Draft, but was leaning toward returning to Austin. Now Jim Schlossnagle gets a veteran infielder back in the fold.

    This. There are only 2-3 spreads for Texas games at the moment.

    We're now 71 days away from kickoff and continue our countdown. For No. 71, Leo Brooks is the headliner. He was an All-SWC defensive tackle, part of the 1969 national championship team and later played seven seasons in the NFL, earning a Pro Bowl selection. Chris Hall deserves a lot of love, too, with 45 career games, 37 starts, starts at all five OL spots, All-American honors and a Rimington Trophy finalist nod in 2009. And we’ve got to include Ray Dowdy, who lettered in 1970–71, was part of the 1970 national title team and earned All-SWC honors in 1971. The current No. 71 is offensive tackle Melvin Siani. Who is your favorite?

    Forgot to post this earlier today! My bad yall. Don Talbert was a 1961 All-American, All-SWC selection, team co-captain and later a Longhorn Hall of Honor inductee. Texas went 26-6-1 during his career with one SWC title, one SWC co-title and a No. 3 finish in his senior season. Ed Cunningham played offensive line at Texas from 1985-89 and earned All-America honors in 1989. He was one of the top linemen on the roster by the end of the decade. Will Allen was a key piece of the 2005 national championship team. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound guard started 32 games during his Texas career and earned third-team All-America honors in 2005. Roger Roesler was a standout offensive guard for Texas in the late 1990s. He earned All-American recognition in 1999 and was also a First-Team All-Big 12 selection that season. Mason Walters started 38 straight games at right guard and played in 39 career games for the Longhorns. He earned All-Big 12 recognition and was named to the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award watch lists. Who is your favorite?

    Yes. I expect him to make it to campus. Something absolutely insane would have to happen for him not to. Had a convo this morning about him actually.
  12. Blake Munroe
    There's no declare date.
  13. Blake Munroe
    They'll take up to three.
  14. Blake Munroe
    Texas will for sure take another OF.

    I love this hire and I'm a huge fan of the Fremin hire as well. Fremin and Freeman. I bet that won't get confusing 😄

    As first reported by Softball America, Texas Softball is set to hire Arizona's Amber Freeman to fill it's second coaching vacancy. Freeman was hired at Arizona in August 2024 as an assistant coach, working primarily with the Wildcats’ hitters and catchers. In her first season, Arizona had the best offense in the Big 12, leading the conference in batting average, home runs, on-base percentage, RBI, scoring, slugging, total runs and triples. In 2026, she helped Arizona hit .340, a mark that ranked third in the Big 12 and 10th in single-season program history. Before Arizona, Freeman had stops at Georgia, Cal and Vanguard, and is part of the USA Softball coaching pool. At Georgia, she helped the Bulldogs go 43-19 and reach a Super Regional while producing one of the nation’s top power offenses, and before that she helped Cal reach the NCAA Tournament after going 35-21-1. Freeman is the second hire this offseason for Head Coach Mike White, as White hired Rick Fremin just a little over a week ago.

    Our countdown to kickoff continues with No. 73, a number represented by one of the best offensive linemen in Texas history and one of the most dominant defensive tackles the program has ever produced. Jonathan Scott clearly belongs in this discussion, as he earned unanimous All-American honors and helped lead Texas to the 2005 national championship. Shaun Rogers is right there with him, as a two-time All-Big 12 selection who enjoyed a lengthy NFL career that included three Pro Bowl appearances. The current No. 73 is Brandon Baker, the former five-star offensive tackle who started all 13 games at right tackle in 2025 and is expected to remain a cornerstone of the Longhorn offensive line entering the 2026 season. Who yall taking?

    Had a note on catchers in today’s insider notes , fwiw. As for the portal being slow, I agree… but also remember the team had to get back from Omaha, get situated, have player meetings, etc. Every team at the CWS is running behind compared to the rest of the schools out there. You’re definitely at a clear advantage when it comes to the portal when you aren’t in Omaha, that’s for sure.

    We’re 74 days away from Texas football, and today’s countdown has a deep group. Doug English headlines the No. 74s with a College Football Hall of Fame resume, while Dave Studdard, Gene Chilton and Adam Ulatoski all brought big-time production up front for Texas. Current No. 74 is Trevor Goosby, who has a chance to make his own run at this list.

    The Longhorns landed their third portal prospect this offseason, this time from Kent State outfielder Sawyer Solitaria. After visiting Tennessee on Thursday, the former MAC Freshman of the Year took in a visit to Texas on Friday, right before the NCAA dead period began. He chose the Horns over Georgia, Tennessee and Texas A&M. This past season Solitaria went .294 at the plate, driving in 47 RBIs and hit 16 home runs. Solitaria is considered a top 100 draft prospect for the 2027 MLB Draft and is expected to contribute immediately.
