UPDATE after Sunday's game via Jeff: After the game, Schloss said that Jonah banged up his shoulder in the Friday game. It was the same shoulder he previously injured. As you’ve seen, Jonah Williams hasn’t been in the lineup this weekend for Texas baseball’s home series against USC Upstate. OTF is working on gathering details of why the sophomore outfielder has been absent from the lineup, but we're told he was still an active participant with the baseball team. As it pertains to Monday’s start of spring football, OTF is told the focus will remain on baseball for Williams and if he is at football practice on Monday, it won’t be as an active participant due to the “time spent” NCAA rules that allot how much of an athlete’s given week can be centered around athletics. Williams still partakes in football meetings as much as he can, but baseball has been the primary focus in his second season with the Longhorns. We'll continue to update this thread as we learn more.

Top-100 EDGE Rusher Visiting Campus on Sunday *** Texas will receive an unofficial visit from 2028 EDGE rusher Chance Archangel – New Iberia (LA.) Westgate High. Archangel is currently ranked in the top 100 of the 2028 composite rankings and is currently listed at 6-foot-3-inches, and 240 pounds at the moment. The talented Louisiana native will make the trip out to Austin with his parents. We saw this in the 2027 cycle, but LaAllen Clark's connection to top prospects in the front seven out in Louisiana continues to be something that Texas has benefitted from and this one here is no different. Texas offered at the tail end of January when Clark was on the road through Louisiana. Now, they will receive their first on-campus visit. Notable Offers Alabama Baylor Houston Miami (Fla.)

2027 OL Kal'El Johnson to Visit March 28 *** Texas will receive an unofficial visit from Cincinnati (OH) Archbishop Moeller OL Kal'El Johnson at the end of the month. Johnson told OTF this morning that he plans to attend the Longhorns spring practice on March 28th. The Longhorns have yet to extend an offer to Johnson, but there is interest from both sides. Johnson holds 23 offers at the moment, and is currently ranked as a top-300 prospect in the class of 2027. Ohio State is the perceived leader for the 6-foot-7-inch, 285-pound offensive tackle prospect. Notable Offers Cincinnati Indiana Kentucky Louisville Missouri Ohio State UCLA Vanderbilt

Richardson (Texas) offensive lineman Jasper Ngokwere will officially visit Texas June 19-21, he tells OTF on Saturday. Here's our story from the rising OL earlier this week:

Will Muschamp coached an All-American pass rusher in each of his three seasons at Texas. That bodes well for Colin Simmons, who is back for what figures to be his last season in burnt orange in 2026. Muschamp’s return to the Longhorns has him inheriting arguably the best pass rusher in college football, with Simmons coming off a 12-sack season as a sophomore. Simmons’ 2025 sack total is tied with Tony Degrate (1984), Kiki DeAyala (1981) and Steve McMichael (1977) for the eighth-best single-season sack performance in school history. Entering his junior season with 21 career sacks, Simmons’ first sack in 2026 will tie him with five legendary Texas defenders (Alex Okafor, Brian Orakpo, Cory Redding, Shane Dronett and James Patton) for 12th on the school’s all-time sack charts. Simmons, who has racked up 29.5 tackles for loss in 29 games, can become the third Longhorn to record at least 30 career sacks, an exclusive club of which only DeAyala (40.5 sacks), Tim Campbell (39.5) and Degrate (31) are members (the program began tracking sacks as an official statistic in 1975). Even though Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense finished the 2025 season ranked third nationally in sacks per game (3.15, with 41 sacks in 13 games), Muschamp has historically fielded aggressive defenses, including his three Longhorn units. The 2008 defense, spearheaded by Orakpo’s 11.5 sacks, led FBS with 47 sacks in 13 games. Muschamp’s three defenses recorded 124 total sacks in three seasons (3.18 sacks per game), including 46 in 2009, when Texas won the Big 12 and reached the BCS national title game. As good as Simmons has been, Steve Sarkisian believes Muschamp can get more out of the Duncanville product. Muschamp has “had a lot of success with a lot of players that look like Colin, play like Colin” throughout his coaching career, Sarkisian said during his most recent press conference on Feb. 23. The staff should always “try to put our best players in a position to have success because they're game-changing-type players,” he added, noting that Simmons, whose 53 total pressures in 2025 were the most recorded by a Longhorn defender in a single season since Pro Football Focus began tabulating season statistics in 2014, “is that type of player.” “I think Colin has really embraced the new defense. He's working at it,” Sarkisian said. “I think there's a really good rapport with Coach Muschamp and Colin right now." Will Muschamp’s All-American Texas Pass Rushers (2008-10) — Brian Orakpo, 2008 A unanimous All-American who was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Orakpo won the Nagurski Trophy (most outstanding defensive player in college football), the Lombardi Award (nation’s top lineman) and the Hendricks Award (college football’s top defensive end). Along with his 11.5 sacks (tied for 11th on the school’s single-season list), Orapko recorded 42 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 30 quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles. A monster performance in a 45-35 win over No. 1 Oklahoma (four tackles for loss, two sacks, two quarterback pressures and a forced fumble) put Orakpo on the map as an NFL prospect, eventually leading to Washington taking him with the 13th overall pick in the 2009 draft. — Sergio Kindle, 2009 Under Muschamp, Kindle became the first player in college football history to be named a finalist for the Hendricks Award and the Butkus Award, which goes annually to the top linebacker in college football. Named a first-team All-American by The Sporting News, Kindle posted 70 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss (tied for fifth all-time in a season at Texas), 36 quarterback pressures (tied for the ninth-most in a season by a Longhorn), four pass breakups and two forced fumbles. The highlight of Kindle’s senior season might’ve come in the team’s BCS championship game loss to Alabama, when he recorded six tackles and 2.5 sacks. — Sam Acho, 2010 After leading the 2009 defense with 10 sacks, Acho won the Campbell Trophy and the Wuerffel Trophy, which recognize a combination of a player’s on-field play, leadership, academic prowess and community service. Even though the Longhorns finished 5-7, Acho (59 tackles, 17 TFL, 9 sacks, 18 pressures and five forced fumbles) performed well enough to be named a unanimous first-team All-Big 12 selection and a second-team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Acho’s five fumble recoveries led FBS in 2010 and remain tied for the single-season school record. Based on what Muschamp did for the careers of the three All-Americans he coached on the Forty Acres, along with how he helped other Longhorn defenders carve out a path to the NFL (Emmanuel Acho, Henry Melton, Keenan Robinson, Earl Thomas and Aaron Williams among them), there’s another level where Simmons can take his game before he takes his talents to the next level. “We'd be remiss if Colin isn't an impactful player for us next fall,” Sarkisian said. “He's going to have plenty of opportunities to do what he does really well.

Denver (NC) East Lincoln TE Jaxon Dollar tells OTF he believes he'll be at Texas on April 16. "Coach Banks is a cool dude!" 54 catches for 1,190 yards and 22 TDs last season... 6-5, 222 lbs https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18370237/68d1a9abab2f611abc6fe287

Historically, I’ve viewed Texas players entering their third year in the program as guys facing now-or-never situations. You can step up and solidify your place on the depth chart or you run the risk of a younger player surpassing you to claim your spot. While there have been instances where guys like John Harris and Tope Imade come out of nowhere as seniors and depart the Forty Acres with a bang, they’re the exception to the rule. A player’s true junior or redshirt sophomore season has been, for all intents and purposes, a contract year. That’s literally the reality for the members of the 2024 recruiting class who remain in the program in 2026. Third-year college football players are now more like NFL rookies. Programs must decide whether to exercise their option to bring the player back for another season (likely, at a higher dollar figure than what the player previously earned) or be OK with them testing the waters to see what they can get on the open market. How things played out for the 2023 high school signees during the winter transfer portal window should give the crop of third-year Longhorns a road map for how things might play out. Anthony Hill Jr. and Malik Muhammad had good enough junior seasons to follow through with their expected departures for the 2026 NFL Draft. Arch Manning was always coming back, barring something unforeseen, and Trevor Goosby flirted with beginning his NFL career after one season as a starter. Still, both will be back as redshirt juniors, positioned to be high picks in the 2027 draft. Although Jelani McDonald, Derek Williams Jr. and Ryan Niblett are among those who chose to return to Texas, CJ Baxter (Kentucky), Liona Lefau (Colorado), DeAndre Moore Jr. (Colorado) and Quintrevion Wisner (Florida State) decided to finish their college careers elsewhere. With NIL and revenue sharing a part of roster construction that's out in the open for public consumption, Steve Sarkisian admitted during his pre-spring practice conference on Feb. 23 that it’s a two-way street when it comes to the tough decisions that must be made in the portal window. “I'd love for them all to stay, and I'd love for them all to finish what they started here with us, but contrary to, maybe, popular belief, our money isn't endless here either,” Sarkisian said. “We have to make real decisions — where we're trying to spend the money on the players that we have to try to put together a championship roster, but yet not lose sight of how powerful our culture is. Those are difficult decisions to make.” There’s no right or wrong way to group the 2024 signees when trying to figure out where they stand heading into a fork-in-the-road season regarding their football careers. So, I broke them down into four categories: NFL Bound — Barring something unexpected happening, a sure-fire NFL draft pick in 2027 — Colin Simmons It’s pretty simple: If the All-American edge defender stays healthy and the combination of Will Muschamp and LaAllan Clark gets the most out of him that they can, Simmons should be one of the first players off the board in the 2027 draft. Proven Commodity — Established, starting-caliber player with more to prove before the NFL becomes a realistic option — Brandon Baker — Ryan Wingo The goal for Baker and Wingo should be to position themselves as McDonald did after the 2025 season, where he had a legitimate stay-or-go decision to make. Baker and Wingo could come back in 2027 and be featured in more prominent roles. Or they could decide to strike while the iron is hot, if in fact it heats up. But those scenarios aren’t sure things for either of them right now. Bonafide Contributor — NFL future aside, this group is made of pieces who’d be hard to replace if something happened to them — Alex January — Ty’Anthony Smith January will once again be a key part of a deep, talented interior defensive line rotation that figures to pack more of a punch than the 2025 group if Maraad Watson is healthy and Ian Geffrard allows Muschamp to bounce between playing even and odd fronts. With Smith, his immediate future will be determined by his ability to keep making splash plays while playing more consistent, down-to-down football in a new scheme. Now or Never — If you haven’t solidified your role yet, it’s time to make your move — Kobe Black — Xavier Filsaime — Jordon Johnson-Rubell — Wardell Mack — Zina Umeozulu This group has a few guys (namely Black, Filsaime and Umeozulu) who could become significant contributors in 2026 and foundational pieces in 2027. Volatility exists, though, meaning they could get passed up by incoming transfers or younger players on the roster if they fail to convince the coaches to give them more snaps. View full news story

Protecting the football is something Arch Manning did at an elite level in 2025. While logging 840 snaps (per Pro Football Focus) and serving as arguably the identity of the Texas offense, Manning accounted for just seven turnovers, all of which were interceptions. With that said, five of those interceptions came in the team’s first five games (one each against Ohio State, San Jose State and UTEP and two against Florida). In the team’s four wins over opponents that ended the season ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 (No. 8 Texas A&M, No. 13 Oklahoma, No. 15 Vanderbilt and No. 21 Michigan), Manning accounted for 10 touchdowns (seven passing and three rushing) and no turnovers. To better frame what Manning accomplished, it's worth noting that the year-over-year improvement in ball security from the quarterback position was staggering. After Quinn Ewers accounted for 17 turnovers (12 interceptions and five missed fumbles) in 14 games in 2024 (an average of 1.2 turnovers per game and a turnover every 53 snaps played), Manning’s turnover averages per game (0.54) and per snaps played (one every 120 snaps). With Manning keeping the football away from opponents in the second half of the season, the Longhorns committed the fifth-fewest turnovers in FBS (nine total) in 2025 while tying for fifth nationally in turnover margin (plus-14 overall and 1.08 per game). Manning became the first Longhorn quarterback since Sam Ehlinger in 2020 to lead the position in snaps played while going through an entire season without losing a fumble. However, Manning, who recovered his own fumble against San Jose State and got an assist from Quintrevion Wisner, who recovered a Manning fumble in the Georgia game, played 155 more snaps than Ehlinger did in a season shortened to 10 games (including the Alamo Bowl against Colorado, of which Ehlinger didn’t play in the second half) by the pandemic. Furthermore, Manning (2025), Ehlinger (2019 and 2020) and Shane Buechele (2017) are the only three Texas quarterbacks in the PFF era (since 2014) to log at least 500 snaps at quarterback without losing a fumble. Among the quarterbacks who've played at least 500 snaps in a season for the Longhorns over the last 12 seasons, only Ehlinger and Buechele had seasons with fewer turnovers accounted for than Manning’s seven giveaways in his first full season as the program’s starter. Turnovers by Texas QBs since 2014 (minimum 500 snaps, per PFF) Shane Buechele (2017) — 4 (all interceptions) Sam Ehlinger (2020) — 5 (all interceptions) Sam Ehlinger (2018) — 6 (five interceptions and one lost fumble) Arch Manning (2025) — 7 (all interceptions) Quinn Ewers (2023) — 7 (six interceptions and one lost fumble) Quinn Ewers (2022) — 7 (six interceptions and one lost fumble) Jerrod Heard (2015) — 7 (five interceptions and two lost fumbles) Sam Ehlinger (2017) — 9 (seven interceptions and five lost fumbles) Casey Thompson (2021) — 10 (nine interceptions and one lost fumble) Sam Ehlinger (2019) — 10 (all interceptions) Shane Buechele (2016) — 12 (11 interceptions and one lost fumble) Tyrone Swoopes (2014) — 14 (11 interceptions and three lost fumbles) Quinn Ewers (2024) — 17 (12 interceptions and five lost fumbles) Of those 13 seasons, Manning’s 0.54 turnovers per game rank fourth behind Ehlinger in 2018 (0.43), Buechele in 2017 (0.44) and Ehlinger in 2020 (0.50). Ehlinger’s 2018 and 2020 seasons are the only two of the 13 in which a Texas quarterback had a better turnover-to-snap ratio than Manning’s 120-to-1 ratio (Ehlinger averaged one turnover every 163.2 snaps in 2018 and one turnover every 137 snaps in 2020). How Manning protected the football is even more impressive when considering that he was one of the most pressured quarterbacks in the country. No SEC quarterback felt heat from opposing defenses more than Manning in 2025, with foes pressuring him a league-high 165 times. All told, Manning was pressured on 35.6 percent of his dropbacks, which ranked sixth among SEC quarterbacks who were pressured on at least 15 dropbacks last season. Along with displaying top-notch ball security, Manning’s 13.3-percent pressure-to-sack rate tied him with Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia for the sixth-best percentage in the SEC. Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed (11.5 percent) and Trinidad Chambliss of Ole Miss (12.6) were the only SEC quarterbacks with better pressure-to-sack rates on 200 or more dropbacks. Manning’s scrambling ability makes the conditions ripe for him to keep his turnovers down in 2026. He established himself as one of the top scrambling quarterbacks in the country last season, ranking 14th in FBS with 349 scramble yards. When you combine Manning's gradually improved decision-making throughout the season with his elite scrambling ability and the instincts to prevent pressure from turning into sacks, he has a chance to continue being one of the best quarterbacks in the country at taking care of the football.

UPDATE: John Meredith III OnTexasFootball is going to continue to report Texas is in the top 2 for 5-star John Meredith III (Fort Worth, Texas/North Crowley). A source close to the recruitment continues to stick with the Longhorns and Texas A&M being the top 2 at the end of the day for the 6-2, 170-pound cornerback. Meredith III and family are working to set up official visits right now. OTF can report that Texas wants the first visit. That would be June 5-7, assuming it gets locked in. Texas A&M prefers the last weekend of June. Will Muschamp and Mark Orphey are leading the recruitment for Texas. They remain in constant contact with the circle. The other two programs that OTF believes will receive official visits are Alabama and Ohio State. The top ranked prospect in the Lone Star State in the 2027 cycle will make a numb er of unofficial visits this spring. Those are expected to be Texas, Texas A&M, Notre and Miami for sure. The Fighting Irish and Hurricanes are battling hard for an official visit.

Once again, Texas is playing in the nightcap, this time on the second day of the Bruce Bolt College Classic at Houston's Daikin Park. First pitch against Baylor is scheduled for a 7:35 p.m. start.

OTF is out in Dallas this morning for the Jesse Owens Invitational track meet. Couple of quick updates on Jackson — we will have a longer more extensive interview coming this week. *** Jackson will be back on campus April 4th for an unofficial visit to Austin. The trip down will likely be a multi-day visit. Texas is expected to scrimmage on the 4th as well. Jackson dropped a top eight, though 4.5 schools are standing out currently — SMU, Texas Tech, Texas and Tennessee. Penn State is the half, but he’s yet to be out to Happy Valley. Muschamp was on the phone with Jackson minutes before speaking with me before his track events today. Muschamp and Orphey are in constant communication and Jackson says he feels like a high priority for Texas. Longhorns are in a very solid spot at the moment, with an early July decision date currently the plan.

After having its five-game winning streak snapped, Texas returns to Moody Center to face arguably its toughest test of the 2025-26 season when it hosts No. 7 Florida on Wednesday (6 p.m., ESPN2). While the Longhorns remain on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, a win over the Gators would likely lock Texas (17-10, 8-6 SEC) into the field of 68. Getting by Florida (21-6, 12-2), which sits atop the SEC standings and enters Wednesday’s game on a seven-game winning streak, will take nothing short of an exceptional performance by the Longhorns. “Obviously, any time you host the national champion from a year ago, it has amazing meaning,” Sean Miller said on Tuesday. “Really, credit Todd Golden and his program. “I think it's very impressive to see him and his staff how they've built Florida, especially in the NIL/transfer portal era,” he added. “I think there's a lot you can learn from just watching how they've added and developed their roster. I also think they're playing their very best basketball of this season right now, on a win streak in dominant fashion the last several road games in our league — not easy to do.
