  1. Inside Texas live from Venice High School (Fla.)

    Venice, Fla. – Inside Texas is live from Venice High School in Southwest Florida Monday to watch On3 5-star EDGE Damon Wilson.

    The 6-foot-3, 234-pounder with a non-stop motor and high-level physicality surprised many when he included Texas in his final 5 July 14.

    The Longhorns joined Alabama, Georgia, Miami and Ohio State in the five. Wilson made an unofficial visit to Georgia the first weekend in June (same weekend as Arch Manning). He made a June official visit to Alabama two week later. Miami and Ohio State received spring unofficial visits.

    Texas offered Wilson January 23, 2022. There had been minimal contact since the offer, but that is changing. The Longhorns staff is now engaging the uber talented pass rush that recorded 90 tackles and 15 sacks as a junior. Texas assistant Jeff Choate is heading up the recruitment of Wilson.

    Alabama leads Georgia in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine for the Southwest Florida star.

    Damon Wilson On3 Personal Life profile

    “Damon Wilson was already a well-known name in the Sunshine State, but he became a household name on the national scene with an unforgettable performance for Venice High in the 2021 Florida Class 8A championship game. Wilson had a monster pick-six in the 35-7 victory over Apopka. He was also in on eight tackles, had a half of a sack to tie the school record in a season with 14.5 and recorded two tackles for a loss to go along with his interception for a touchdown, pass breakup and quarterback hit, the latter three occurring on the same play. When he’s not making plays on the football field, Wilson is likely in the weight room or competing for the school’s powerlifting team. Wilson has a 370-pound bench press and he has hopes of topping the 400-pound mark by the time he graduates.”

    The 2023 Arlington Martin DB, On3 Consensus No. 34 prospect recently tripped to Baton Rouge for an unofficial visit to LSU.

    Toviano has four officials left, with Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Oregon, and Michigan in the mix. He’d like to take them all.

    Could he be committed before his officials? Yes. He says his decision is coming soon and would prefer before this senior campaign begins.

    Texas has a “home” feel and loves the players, continues to build with Steve Sarkisian and staff, and hears from Trevell Johnson and Morice Blackwell regularly.

    He wants to see Austin in early September.

    Enough to be named to the 90s all decade team that included some really great players.

    Why not use the old BCS formula for deciding the teams and the seeding and get rid of the committee bullshit?

    The BCS formula and computers have calculated the same 4 teams as the committee every year since the inception of the playoff.

    Boselli was one of the best of his era?

    Well, thank you Jethro.  I pretty much don't care for any of the talking heads. Appreciate your input though.

    Shut the fuck up bitch. Bobby has helped tremendously with our NIL efforts. The slander will not stand you pickled chin ass boi

    Or maybe he can read the fucking room. Whatever petty bullshit you or anyone else has against Burton, he’s not a part of the problem and he’s done more to help Texas in the last year than anyone else except a tiny handful of folks. There are plenty of easy media targets to run over with impunity. Stop being a baby about a neg and move on to them. 

    I know how much he’s helped. Put you guys into some good conversations. Bobby is great for Texas and one of the best in that 995 industry.

    Seriously. Fuck these blood-sucking leaches (Ketch, FCB, Bohls, and Brian Davis). I'd rather get no observations from them than have to deal with the fallout from them stirring up fabricated drama.

    Instead of learning about bad mouthing the program this will only make those types of fucks write more hatchet job articles. Who does Texas Football think they are to do this to them?

    Texas canceled the open media window and the press time after practice at the very last minute. I’m hoping this is because somebody finally got upset about the BS articles and questions the texas beat reporters have been asking  

     

    Good. Fuck those guys

    Recruiting

    Cedric Baxter, RB, Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater
    The four-star Florida native is announcing on August 10th. He’s had that date set in stone since earlier in the summer, and Texas and Tashard Choice have put themselves in a superior position. Texas A&M, Florida, and Miami are UT’s top competition, but the Horns have the advantage. Choice was hired to make a big splash in recruiting. Baxter would be a cannonball.

    Derion Gullette, EDGE/LB, Teague (Texas)
    It’s decision day for the On3 four-star defender. Give Jeff Choate some props. Give PK and Terry Joseph some love. Also, shoutout to Demarvion Overshown and Derrick Brown and a handful of 2023 commits. This recruitment has been a team effort in the truest sense. Texas A&M made it interesting and Ohio State had his attention for a minute, but since late spring, the Horns have slowly separated from the pack.

    Jordan Matthews, CB, Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn
    His date is set. On August 15th, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound On3 four-star announces his destination. Texas, Tennessee, and Michigan are the contenders, with the Horns holding the pole position for a decent amount of time. Matthews has seen Austin six times on his own dime, including the BBQ bash in late July. He’ll be back in Austin for the Texas-Alabama contest the second week in September. Terry Joseph deserves a lot of credit here, with a hand from Arch Manning and Derek Williams. #BootUp.

    Markis Deal, DL, Garland (Texas) Naaman Forest
    Texas and the 6-foot-4, 285-pounder have continued to have constant communication since the unofficial visit last week. The Longhorns have talked with Deal about a fall official visit with the date still to be determined. Georgia will receive an official visit, and it looks like September 24th weekend will be when that visit happens. TCU, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and USC are the teams fighting it out for the On3 Consensus four-star prospect.

    Jordan Hall, DL, Jacksonville (Fla.) Westside and Damon Wilson, EDGE, Venice (Fla.) High
    The Texas staff is working from behind on both of the Sunshine State defensive linemen. With that said, the staff is in contact with both Hall and Wilson, and are talking to both about potential official visit dates. Obviously, the Alabama game September 10 would be an ideal weekend to have top prospects on campus from an atmosphere standpoint. Plus Arch Manning, Duce Robinson, and many other prospects will be on hand for the game against the Crimson Tide. The competition for Hall is Georgia, Florida, and Miami. The competition for Wilson is Alabama, Georgia, Miami, and Ohio State.

    Let’s see if the staff can work some Sydir Mitchell magic with one or both of Hall and Wilson.

    Team

    Thursday was effectively a 14 hour day for the coaches and players. At this pace, there are going to be some tired freshman in a week or two.

    The defense probably held a slight edge over the offense after practice No. 1. On Thursday, the offense had a more clear advantage during 7 on 7 and team portions of practice No. 2.

    The quarterbacks did a better job of protecting the ball, though there were still a couple interceptions. Card was “rock solid” and Ewers threw “two beautiful touchdown passes to Neyor.”

    Sark’s confidence in the two quarterbacks is said to be high. That isn’t to say they’ll be great, just that he believes he can win with them.

    True freshman Maalik Murphy had a solid day outside of the 15-20 minute media window.

    Jordan Whittington caught a Card touchdown from the slot. While there’s some excitement about Savion Red, and of course Brenen Thompson, IT heard “Tarique Milton will play this year. He’s legit.” Slot depth was a big question entering the summer but that questions seems on pace to be answered in August. Still, stay healthy J-Whitt.

    We’re unsure who threw them, but D’Shawn Jamison had his customary pick, and Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey had one as well. “Tuck” has shown the ability to find the ball in the air. If he does the same regarding ball carriers, like he did at James Madison, he’s going to win a starting job and allow Overshown to play of the Edge more.

    As far as we know, Jahdae Barron is solely at Star. That’s not surprising given their preference to get better coverage ability from the position, plus they’ll be in nickel a ton. What is interesting is Michael Taaffe is second team Star. It’s sort of hard to square that with previous sentence, but maybe they have another look from the personnel package. In any event, Taaffe is a quality player, you’d just think he’s more of a field safety. (Jaylon Guilbeau is still at corner)

    It’s very difficult to tell anything regarding the offensive and defensive lines when they’re not in pads, but Kelvin Banks certainly looks the part during the first two days. “He’s going to help the team this year. As a day-two freshman he’s playing like an upperclassmen.”

    The team will be in half pads the next three practices before going full pads next Tuesday.

    Initial footwork has never been the problem for Hud. It’s everything after that. His footwork breaks down if he senses the slightest bit of pressure. His accuracy is lackluster and his decision making is less than desirable. Let’s put the pads on and see if he’s improved with those aspects because nothing will be learned in this type of setting.

    Pads were on in spring game. Still looked like shit.

    Poster on IT who’s posted good info in the past:

    My guy said Jamison actually had four picks. He also said Ewers hit a lot of deep balls while Card struggled deep. And that one of Ewers' two picks was on Red for quitting on his (poorly run) route.

    Dude has pretty good source on the team. Had a lot of good info last season.
