2025 Texas Longhorns Recruiting / Team News Thread

[Biily Ray Valentine]

**PLEASE READ AND COMMENT**

Just some housekeeping and wanted everyone's opinion, even if you never post.

I planned to start a new 2026 thread for next week instead of waiting until traditional signing day in February since things are already moving quickly, and there's a Junior Day on the 25th.

Everyone cool with that?

Let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions on how to make the thread better, want to add/change reference info on the first page, etc.

Open to anything, especially if it helps newer folks better understand recruiting and all of the constant changes.

👍🤘

I was expecting more out of him but it just didn't pan out unfortunately

I think Washington is going to be a fun TE to watch.

IT on Texas' NIL recruiting right now...

"Texas is at the point where it’s getting a bit of a discount due to the four-way stop of winning, development/coaching, quality of life, and culture/team atmosphere."

OTF saying a name to know right is '26 DT Preston Carey of IMG Academy.

He's originally from Northport, NY, and Coach Flood's Northeast connections have already played a role here.

He was offered on a trip to Austin in February of '23, and he says the staff is pushing to get him back on campus.

The draft will prove your 2nd point. 11-13 players gonna get drafted based on accounting from some sites. It’s not that long ago we were lucky to get 2 or 3 drafted. That will be 2 years in a row of double digits for Sark

[pgardn]

Well that’s not a starter so good deal.
The spring transfers in will have to include a TE that can block imo.
Some teams have stashed TE groups so it might not be an insurmountable task in the spring as I believe we can offer PT for a guy with experience, which we lack.

OTF saying Texas has "serious interest" in '27 QB Gunner Rivers of Fairhope, AL right now.
