The Insider: Texas Longhorns football nuggets galore at the midpoint of fall camp
In this week's edition of The Insider, we give you Texas Longhorns football nuggets galore at the midpoint of fall camp. Plus, a facilities update on Texas relocating the DKR press box to make room for suites.
FCB
Notes:
Given injuries, Sarkisian is likely to scale back full-contact periods in practice while opting instead for "thud" tempo
WRs: One source said after last Saturday's first scrimmage of fall camp that Alabama junior transfer Isaiah Bond "is clearly the No. 1 receiver."
Another source said the top three receivers after the scrimmage appeared to be Bond, Johntay Cook, and DeAndre Moore Jr.
Yet another source said, "I don't know how you keep Silas Bolden off the field."
Barron is working at CB so he can be on the field when the team needs better tackling, like against Michigan or situationally
"Liona is like the do-right player," Sarkisian said this week. "He's always spot on with what he's supposed to do, run fits, pass coverage, special teams. The thing that I've been impressed with him this year, as opposed to his true freshman year, I really feel like he's cutting it loose more.
Sources said Hill is moving around so much based on what new co-coordinator Johnny Nansen brought with him from Arizona and added to Pete Kwiatkowski's scheme for the linebackers that Hill was hardly ever in the middle in the first scrimmage of fall camp last Saturday." Ant Hill was mostly on the outside," a source said.
The source said sixth-year senior David Gbenda ended up in the middle when Hill moved to outside linebacker during the scrimmage.
DKR press box moving, being replaced with suites. Sources said once the press box is gutted, after the 2025 season, it will be replaced by 10 suites that have already been sold for $10 million apiece.
