Forever a Texas legend! Kicker U!

Those are definitely 🔥 need them to bring out some icy white longhorn cleats

Definitely rooting for him. If he didn’t get injured he could have been nfl bound already.

Would cement a legendary run & would vault Jerritt Elliott into the upper echelon of UT coaches in any sport.

This is great. Shoutout a young athlete for using his platform & reach to make a real difference. Gifted on & off the field.

This sounds like he will be done for the year. & this is apeaking as someone who has tore up their knee multiple times from non-contact injuries. That really sucks & I’m praying for a miracle in regards to his health. But unfortunately that sounds very ominous.

Don’t know if this was shared already, but Rueben Owens will miss the year after suffering an injury in their scrimmage. Crazy how two of the highest rated RB’s in the 23 class both suffered season ending injuries within the same week. Brutal. Of course, I won’t lose any sleep over it but hate that for any kid regardless of school. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40826303/injured-texas-rb-rueben-owens-miss-season

All depends on how we’re viewing overrated but I think it would have to be Ohio State for me, relative to expectations. I would also add FSU. I think there are definitely teams ranked too high (*cough cough, Oklahoma) but with Ohio State being regarded as a top 2 team I don’t think they’ll live up to that. Schedule isn’t easy & trust in Will Howard may prove to be fools gold. I could definitely be proven wrong but I’m not as high on Ryan Day either.

Sorry to hear that! Prayers with you for sure.

AD is going to be a problem in the league.

Hate this for any kid.

Every team is looking for their version of Matthew Slater so if he buys in fully he will get a shot to last in the league! I was slightly surprised Kitan Crawford didn’t explore that angle this year because of how much Banks loved Crawford.

Very true. I think Sark is proving (along with the staff he assembled) to be pretty good at this roster construction thing. Elite programs tend to get this part right as a baseline.

I also think there will inevitably be some transfers out due to the collection of talent & lack of path to the field for some players. But there will be guys who transfer out that end up making the league after that, so that’s also a consideration in having such a large final number.

Great callout! I was considering him on the list & some others due to special team considerations & didn’t put Blackwell.

I tend to agree. I didn’t include just because of his potential tweener status in NFL strength & measurables. But I do think he will get a shot at making a roster for sure.

Completely agree, I definitely added my hopes for these guys into a few of the projections. Very few college football rosters all time have produced that many NFL guys but with those guys it’s entirely based on projections into what I think will happen. I also think we have seen in the last 15 years, even with some bad teams & bad years that we have guys who have stuck in the NFL. I think that will happen with some of the fringe guys as well just because of the culture Sark has cultivated.

The lone response, preciate it! 🤘🏼

I wanted to make this post because I love when @Bobby Burton did this last year & believe he said he would do it this year as well. But since I’ve been thinking about just how talented this team is, I wanted to create my own list of players on the current roster who I think will end up being on a NFL roster after their college careers are over. I will sort them by position & tally the number at the end. QB: (3) Ewers (Jr), Manning (R-Fr), Owens (Fr) RB: (5) Baxter (So), Blue (Jr), Wisner (So), Clark (Fr), Gibson (Fr) - I’m most doubtful on Gibson long term but I think he will make a roster one day. WR: (7) Cook (So), Moore (So), Bond (Jr), Wingo (Fr), Bolden (Sr), Golden (Jr), Livingstone (Fr) - Tough to predict the freshmen but I think Livingstone has a real chance so I included him. I also am high on Ryan Niblett long term but couldn’t bring myself to put him down here. TE: (4) Niblack (Jr), Helm (Sr), Davis (Sr), Washington (Fr) - Of course Juan Davis may or may not make a roster but I’m bullish given the way the coaches have been talking him up this offseason. Also, think there’s a chance Will Randle could make a roster in time. OL: (11) Banks (Jr), Campbell (Jr), Hutson (Jr), Williams (Jr), Umeozulu (So), Cruz (Fr), Agbo (So), Baker (Fr), Goosby (R-Fr), Chatman (R-Fr), Kibble (Fr) - Hardest group for me to predict just because most of the guys on the list I’m putting based on potential rather than on field production. Really considered Hayden Conner but idk if he will be too much of a tweener for the league. DL: (5) Collins (Sr), Lole (Sr), Bledsoe (So), January (Fr), Mitchell (R-Fr) - I know, I know Sydir Mitchell being on this list is a major gamble on my part. But I do think he will figure it out. I am completely aware that at this time it looks more likely that he doesn’t make the league but hey gotta take some chances when it comes to these types of predictions. EDGE: (5) Moore (Jr), Burke (Jr), Simmons (Fr), Umeozulu (Fr), Vasek (R-Fr) - Vasek is certainly dependent on if he can stay healthy. I was really on the fence about Sorrell, but I just don’t know if he has the requisite explosiveness for his body type. LB: (4) Hill (So), Lefau (So), Smith (Fr), Gullette (R-Fr) - Taking a big chance on some guys due to their potential. Also, Gbenda could but I don’t think he plays well enough in space for the league to value him now. CB: (8) Muhammad (So), Barron (Sr), Guilbeau (Jr), Holmes (Sr), Roberson (R-Fr), Mack (Fr), Wilson (Fr), Black (Fr) - Another tough group to predict. I think Holmes made big strides this offseason & will get on the NFL radar this year. The young guys, again, are based on the potential they possess. Also, did not included Cole because I haven’t seen enough & his size is a factor. S: (5) Mukuba (Sr), Williams (So), Filsaime (Fr), Johnson-Rubell (Fr), McDonald (So) - Lots of talent in this room & I think all of the young guys could end up being Day 1 or 2 picks. Specialists: (2) Auburn (Sr), Kern (Fr) - Will Stone maybe here too but not bold enough to include him. Class Breakdown: Seniors: 9 Juniors: 12 Sophomores: 11 Freshmen: 26 Total: 58 Let me know what you think of these projections! I also know these numbers are inflated based on my overall projections & taking chances on some guys with potential but I think this team is that talented. Of note: the freshmen numbers are so high because they take into account the redshirt freshmen from the previous class as well.

Fax. Need that stadium rank to move up to number 1 on ncaa!

Y’all will need to excuse my Ffrench if he picks Miami over us.

What an amazing opportunity for those kids.

“Let me cook” underrated quote of the year 😂

Attending senior year of high school in Georgia’s proverbial backyard. Yeah, time to shift expectations in that recruitment.

Aye happy for Malik man. True Longhorn. Stayed ten toes during a time when a lot of people didn’t.
