  6. SWEET !!! 🤘 A National Champion, two-time All-American and four-time All-Big 12 selection, Jonathan Scott started 45 career games at offensive tackle for Texas. He joined an elite group of Longhorns by earning unanimous first-team All-American honors and did that while paving the way for the UT’s perfect 13-0 National Championship team in 2005. That year, Scott anchored a line that helped Texas rank first in the nation in scoring offense (50.2 ppg), second in rushing offense (274.9 ypg) and third in total offense (512.1 ypg), while setting school single-season records in both points scored (652) and total yards (6,657). The 652 points broke a 22-year-old NCAA record of 624 points set by Nebraska in 1983, while the 50.2 points per game average marked only the fifth time in NCAA history a team finished the year averaging over 50 points per game up until that time. During Scott’s four years at UT, the Longhorns won 11 games three times, at least 10 games all four years, were victorious in three bowl games, posted an overall record of 45-6 (28-4 in Big 12) and finished in the Top 11 nationally all four years with three in the Top Six. In 2004, Scott allowed just one sack all season and earned second-team All-America honors. He was a key part of a line that cleared the way for Texas to rank second in the nation in rushing (299.2 ypg), seventh in total offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scoring (35.3 ppg) that year. UT registered six 300-yard rushing games, the most since 1977. The season saw the Longhorns earn a Top-Five ranking, finish 11-1 and win the first of back-to-back Rose Bowls. As a sophomore, Scott started all 13 games, with the Longhorns winning 10 of them, as he earned third-team All-Big 12 honors. He helped the line rank sixth in the nation in scoring offense (41.0 ppg) and eighth in rushing offense (232.5 ypg). In 2002, he started seven games as a freshman, including the last six, as Texas finished 11-2 and in the Top 10 following a win over LSU in the Cotton Bowl. He was selected honorable mention All-Big 12 and made the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. A fixture on the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll at UT, Scott earned his bachelor’s degree in radio/television/film in May 2005. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, he played a total of nine years in the NFL with the Lions, Buffalo Bills (2008-09), Pittsburgh Steelers (2010-11), Chicago Bears (2012-13) and Atlanta Falcons (2014). He played in 71 NFL games, starting 35. A native of Dallas who played at Dallas Carter High School, Scott was a member of the Steelers team that played in Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium, the first to be played in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Following his career, he has gone into business and is a brand ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation, helping to bring awareness to psoriasis and speaking as a health advocate. He was a featured patient panelist at the National Psoriasis Foundation Skin of Color Congressional Briefing in 2015. He spent 2018 as a coaching intern with the San Francisco 49ers. He has excelled in diverse fields, including being recognized as an Amazon No. 1 bestselling author, making his mark in finance, real estate, education, coaching, executive leadership, and the music industry, culminated by his ownership of a private equity and finance group.
  7. Curious, what other Texas OL was a unanimous All-American???
  8. The SEC and Netflix have teamed up with a behind-the-scenes look at the 2024 football season, featuring 10 of the conference’s 16 schools, including Tennessee on its way to a College Football Playoff berth. The series is produced by the same company that produced other Netflix sports projects, including “Full Swing,” which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the PGA Tour, and “Formula 1: Drive to Survive.” Netflix said it will air next summer in eight 45-minute episodes. The participating schools are Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, a source briefed on the show’s details said. The production was reported by The Athletic in early June, with neither side confirming because a deal wasn’t done. Netflix went forward after securing agreements with more than half of the conference’s schools. All 16 SEC schools were given the option to participate, said SEC spokesman Herb Vincent, who indicated the series could go beyond this year. “When a majority of the member schools indicated an interest in participating, the SEC proceeded with Netflix on production of the series with the understanding that schools can opt in or out of participation in subsequent years,” Vincent said. In a release, Netflix said the series “places viewers inside some of college football’s most storied programs in the SEC through unfiltered access to their coaches and players on and off the field: on the buses, in the locker rooms, at the barbershops, around the fire pits, running out of the tunnels, and more.” There was initially some reluctance from SEC teams, concerned about giving an outside network too much access, sources around the conference have said. But there was also some worry that if the SEC balked, Netflix would go to the Big Ten, and ultimately the conference and majority of schools were attracted to the chance to advertise their programs in a different way. “This behind-the-scenes docuseries will bring all the drama and pageantry of Southeastern Conference Football to a worldwide Netflix audience,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. “Football in the SEC will be presented in a way never seen before through the elite storytelling skills of Box To Box, the content studio that has produced numerous award-winning Netflix docuseries. We are excited about this new delivery of content for SEC fans everywhere.”
  9. VANDY Diego Pavia granted injunction, opens door for JuCo athletes to gain extra eligibility If Diego Pavia can play one year of JuCo ball and four years at the NCAA level, what's stopping everyone else? Zach Barnett 15 hours ago Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia was granted an injunction on Wednesday that could bring significant change to college athletics and another blow to the NCAA's status quo. Judge William L. Campbell, Jr., ruled Wednesday that Pavia can begin preparations for the 2025 season after the NCAA's existing rules would have exhausted his eligibility. Pavia played two seasons at New Mexico Military Institute, two at New Mexico State, and then this current season at Vanderbilt. Pavia argued that the NCAA should not be allowed to count Pavia's New Mexico Military Institute years against him, since NMMI is not an NCAA institution. While not a binding ruling, Judge Campbell does not disagree. He wrote Wednesday that the NCAA's argument for counting junior college years toward an athlete's eligibility clock "falls flat." Pavia's lawyers said he stands to make $1 million at Vanderbilt or another school in 2025. While not official, Wednesday's injunction allows him to begin negotiations to play next season. “While the Court’s ruling does not restrict where Diego can play next season, he loves Vanderbilt and Coach Lea,” Ryan Downton, Pavia's lawyer, said in a statement. “So long as he receives an appropriate NIL package, I expect to see him in the black and gold for as long as he has eligibility remaining and Jerry Kill and Tim Beck are coaching in Nashville.” Wednesday's ruling is about much more than a single player potentially gaining another year of eligibility. Just as a court ruling ended the NCAA's ability to enforce its transfer rules, and a separate ruling ended the NCAA's ability to enforce its NIL policy, the Pavia case could end the NCAA's ability to enforce its eligibility rules. If Pavia can return in 2025, why not 2026? And if Pavia can play two years for a 2-year school and four more for a 4-year school, why not everyone else? And if that's the case, how can the NCAA enforce its eligibility rules on anyone at all?
  10. Dan Mullen reportedly targeting former Ohio State assistant for spot on UNLV staff Dennis spent four seasons coaching the quarterbacks in Columbus before moving on to Tulsa. Doug Samuels 1 hour ago Dan Mullen is working quickly to bring a quality staff to Vegas. The latest example of that broke this morning when CBS Sports shared that a former Ohio State assistant is being targeted for a role on the offensive staff. Corey Dennis, who spent the 2020-23 seasons coaching the Buckeye quarterbacks, is a target to join the Rebels new staff under Mullen, the report shares. The son-in-law of Urban Meyer, Dennis spent this past season on staff at Tulsa. He joined the staff of Kevin Wilson back in early March of 2024, being named quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. By the end of the year, Dennis had stepped into the play calling role for the Golden Hurricane. The 32-year old former Georgia Tech player started off as an intern on the Ohio State staff in 2015 and would go on to serve as a graduate assistant and senior quality control coach before being elevated to quarterbacks coach in 2020.
  11. Arch Madness has been in full affect for the entirety of the 2024 football season. Despite starting only a pair of games and showing flashes of brilliance in his other appearances, Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has been one of the biggest topics of conversation in college football over the last few weeks. For now, he remains the backup, with the consensus being that he will take over as the full-time starter in 2025 once Quinn Ewers heads to the NFL. But, even with his limited number of reps as a starter, the hype has already reached astounding heights. So much so, in fact, that Manning has already taken an early lead with the oddsmakers as the favorite for the 2025 Heisman Trophy. You can check out the odds for the top 12 players below, per BetOnline.Ag: Arch Manning +600 Garrett Nussmeier +800 John Mateer +900 Drew Allar +1000 DJ Lagway +1100 Kevin Jennings +1200 Lanorris Sellers +1200 Nico Iamaleava +1200 Cade Klubnik +1400 Conner Weigman +1600 Sam Leavitt +1800 Jackson Arnold +2500 Obviously what stands out the most on this list is that Manning - who leads the pack - has fewer starts under his belt by quite a large margin than any other player in the field. In fact, you have to get all the way down to the player with the player with the 22nd best odds, Michigan true freshman Bryce Underwood, to find one with less starts than Manning. In total, Manning has seen action in eight games this season, going 61 of 90 passing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions along with 21 carries for 100 yards and four scores on the ground. That said, Manning's dual-threat ability gives him a leg-up over some other quarterbacks like Allar and Nussmeier. Of course, Jennings, Sellers, Klubnik and Leavitt offer their own bit of juice in that regard, but Manning's combination of mobility and elite arm talent is certainly something special. Another thing Manning has working in his favor is his immense star power, marketability and swagger, which alongside the exciting things he can do with the ball in his hands, make it very difficult to imagine him not being in contention for the award if things go the way most people expect. Manning and No. 5 Texas will face Klubnik and Clemson in the first round of the College Football Playoff in Austin on Saturday.
  12. Kirk Herbstreit believes Arch Manning is closer to grandfather Archie, rather than uncles by:Nick Kosko•about 23 hours ago Arch Manning is an exceptional athlete, but he’s not like uncles Peyton and Eli, according to Kirk Herbstreit. He’s more nimble footed, similar to his father Cooper who was a wide receiver. But Arch Manning is closest to grandfather Archie, if you ask Herbstreit. “I know everybody wants to compare him to his uncles, but he’s probably more like his grandfather,” Herbstreit said on Pardon My Take. “He’s much bigger and stronger. Look at this guy. You know, it’s one thing, you look at him on TV, then you go to the pregame, and you look at these guys in person. Some of these guys just look so different than what your perception of them is. “And Arch is one of those guys. I mean, his legs, I don’t know if he lives under a squat rack. That dude is put together. He’s not just tall, slippery, he’s quick. He is a powerful dude who can spin it.” Arch Manning had to start a couple of games when Quinn Ewers went down with injury. But since Ewers came back, Manning’s had a bit of a role in the offense. Arch Manning a unique ‘Manning QB’ Arch Manning’s threat to run is something that keeps defenses honest when defending him. It is also something that could continue for the Longhorns, starting in the first round. “You talk about an excitement of where you want to see Texas next year with Arch having an entire offseason to build his game, but he’s nothing like Peyton, he’s nothing like Eli, he’s really nothing like his grandfather, who was a really athletic guy,” Herbstreit said. “He’s his own guy, and he’s got the size that they all have, but his strength and his athletic ability. Who knows what Sark will do in the offseason to build the offense around him, and who knows if Arch will get an opportunity here in these next potential four games.” This year, Manning is 61-of-90 passing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, two interceptions, a 67.8% completion percentage, 100 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. “He’s what everybody thought he was,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said, regarding Manning, ahead of the SEC Championship. “He’s athletic, smart, thick. Great thrower. He can run their entire offense, while at the same time creating designed runs, or off-schedule runs. Both are scary. Because designed runs, with him, are tough to defend, because you’re having to defend the whole field. And then he’s also an elite thrower and passer. I mean, he’s a great player. “They’ve brought him along that way. He’s gained confidence each and every week. He had to start some games. I mean, you couldn’t write a better story for him, in terms of development, to be ready to go and be the starter.”
