2025 Texas Longhorns Recruiting / Team News Thread

Funny how it's easier to forget the games you won vs the ones you should have won

Vince Young against USC and James Street v. Arkansas are the games and the performances I have heard the most about.
I would ask the UT fans on this site what game and Player(s) they think would go above the aforementioned.

As far as heartbreak; What I have heard the most about is TT and Crabtree. Again I would ask UT fans what was worse as far as heartbreak. The pummeling's have been numerous. They are in different category.

Tech picked up this 2026 kid yesterday, and likely one to monitor in the next year since they're usually spot-on with their early evaluations.

Local prospect from Georgetown.

Multiple sites saying OL Jake Majors was held out of yesterday's scrimmage for precautionary reasons.

No injuries to report, and the RBs wore green non-contact jerseys.

Per OTF, RB CJ Baxter will have his procedure done on Tuesday with the surgeon who works for the Dallas Cowboys.

He specializes in knee ligaments.

Recently offered DL Caleb Bell from Milton, GA told 247 he should be visiting Austin within a few weeks.

"It felt really good to receive the (Texas) offer," Bell told Horns247. "I have been wanting it for a long time. It makes me feel like (I'm getting) better."

"I've always liked how the school is, how the football team is, how many players at my position they've taken to the league," he said. "They're a really good team."

"It's really good," Bell said of his connection with UT defensive line coach Kenny Baker. "He expressed how much he wanted me and what his position is and how he got the job and everything."

OTF reporting the staff has been "very happy" with how RB Jerrick Gibson has stepped up after the recent injuries.

They expect him to have a role immediately.

That's good to hear. If Blue plays well, then maybe we'll still be in a good shape without Baxster.

Something to keep an eye on are rumors out there about DB Kade Phillips of Fort Bend Hightower flipping to LSU.

IT saying they wouldn't be shocked if that's what he does, but questions why he would do it now as opposed to waiting a little longer to see how each team progresses throughout the season.

We knew this was coming, but it still sucks.

DL and CB recruiting are a concern.

[TFloss32]

IT traveled to Ruston, LA this week to see CB Aidan Anding and he let them know he's "97% sure" he's going to commit before his season starts, plus his mother wants him to wrap up the process.

He speaks with a handful of Louisiana natives on the Texas team, including CB Wardell Mack and S Derek Williams, Jr.

Depending on what intel you read, it's possible this one comes down to Arkansas vs. Texas even though the late LSU offer earlier this summer threw him off of his original timeline.

IT followed up on this tonight and they hit on what pgardn mentioned a few days ago.

The staff's evaluation of Phillips is at safety first, they were honest with him about that and it gave LSU an opening to flip him.

Wiltfong at On3 put in an LSU prediction today.
