  1. Can't wait for all the Samples mentions as a replacement! And Montgomery.
  2. CJ Vogel The full NFL Combine list has been released and there will be 14 Longhorns represented in Indianapolis at the end of the month. QB Quinn Ewers RB Jaydon Blue WR Isaiah Bond WR Matthew Golden TE Gunnar Helm OL Kelvin Banks OL Hayden Conner OL Jake Majors OL Cam Williams DL Vernon Broughton DL Alfred Collins EDGE Barryn Sorrell DB Jahdae Barron DB Andrew Mukuba Texas continues to stack NFL Combine and Draft success and this year is no different. A great chance to break and re-set the program record for players selected in a single Draft.
  3. Because it had nothing to do with anything what what actual NIL was and is.
  4. Yes and it's only February, plenty of time to process.
  5. He's been mentally out for the entire season
  6. CJ Vogel Steve Sarkisian has made the hire of former Rutgers CB coach Mark Orphey to the staff as of Wednesday evening. What might that mean for the Longhorns moving forward other than a new body to coach defensive backs? Well, let's take a look. *** Coaching Resume Orphey has quickly ascended the coaching ranks and already in his tenure has experience in six bowl games, the FCS Playoffs and the College Football Playoff National Title game while at Alabama. Texas Southern (2011-2012): Cornerbacks coach South Carolina (2013-2016) Quality control assistant (2013) Defensive graduate assistant (2014-2016) Montana State (2017-2018): Secondary coach Utah State (2019-2020): Secondary coach Alabama (2021): Senior defensive analyst Rutgers (2022-2024): Cornerbacks coach Orphey, 35 years old, will join Texas as the youngest coach on the staff for Steve Sarkisian as well. *** Developmental History NFL Draft selections. Texas Southern CB Tray Walker – Drafted by Ravens in 4th round of 2015 NFL Draft (All-American) Rutgers CB Christian Braswell – Drafted by Jags in 6th round of 2022 NFL Draft Rutgers CB Max Melton – Drafted by Cardinals in 2nd round of 2024 NFL Draft All-Conference Players at South Carolina During his stint (2013–2016) DB Chris Lammons (2014) – All-SEC freshman team CB Al Harris Jr. (2014) – All-SEC freshman team DB Brison Williams (2014) – Preseason 3rd Team All-SEC Team CB Victor Hampton (2013) – A.P. All-SEC 2nd Team All-Conference Players at Montana State during his stint (2017–2018) DB Jahque Alleyn (2018) - All-Big Sky Honorable Mention... Led conference with 5 INT in 11 games CB Greg Filer (2018) - All-Big Sky Honorable Mention DB Brayden Konkol (2018) - All-Big Sky Honorable Mention DB Bryson McCabe (2017) - 2nd Team All-Big Sky ... Lead team with 9 PBU *** On the Recruiting Trail First and foremost, it is worth mentioning that Orphey played his high school ball at North Shore high school in Houston, a school which has become synonymous with producing defensive backs. Most recently, five-stars Denver Harris and Devin Sanchez, but also 2026 DB Chace Calicut which Texas is leading for at the moment. A quick rundown of the cycles he had to recruit while at Rutgers (hired March 14, 2022): 2023 Class 3-star Bo Macoe – Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola High ... 4th highest rated prospect in class Akron Transfer Charles Amankwaa ... Led Akron in INT and PBU in 2021 Northern Illinois Transfer Eric Rogers ... Started 6 games before transferring to Rutgers 2024 Class 3-star Kevin Levy – West Palm Beach (Fla.) Cardinal Newman High ... ran 10.6 100m, 5th highest rated prospect in class 2025 Class 4-star Michael Clayton – Warner Robins (Ga.) Northside High ... 2nd highest rated prospect in class (0.90) 3-star Renick Dorillas – Ramsay (NJ) Don Bosco Prep ... Penn State Transfer Cam Miller ... 40 games, 5 starts in three years at PSU Marshall Transfer Jacobie Henderson ... started 13 games in 2024 Florida and Georgia appear to be where Orphey has had high school recruiting success in the past. Of the 12 cornerback offers extended by Orphey in the 2025 class, five were in the state of Florida, three were in New Jersey, and one in each of Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia. Also, Orphey offered Graceson Littleton in February of 2024.
  7. Is this where we wishcast? Say TJ moves on Hire Mike Mickens to be defensive pass game coordinator/AHC and Mark Orphey as Safety coach? I'm not serious just offseason boredom.
  8. Love that one on ceviche
  9. That's to have shipped to you!
  10. We could name it Amy's Ice Cream Field!
  11. Winning basketball games is the best thing for NIL fundraising. Whatever coach is hired will be sure to set the minimums they want for NIL backing as that is now part of coaching negotiations. If the Drake guy is hired and says he needs X amount commitment from boosters to win as a baseline and that is met and he comes in and starts winning then the willingness from boosters will only increase that NIL pool.
  12. Rutgers people say he’s a great recruiter and DBs have been the strength in his tenure
  13. Expecting NIL donors to throw money at a recruit for a coach they don’t believe in is a tall task imo
  14. So most championship coaches are sleezy, got it
  15. Well there a guy that never lets us forget about him
  16. He’s been predominantly a corners coach
