The staff still seems to be going after all of Lee, Brew, and Sanchez at CB.  I’m not sure if we take a CB if we miss on those three, unless there’s a late riser not currently on our board. 

You are probably right, but I also believe that the staff thinks that it absolutely has to have another CB. This means that the staff is confident that it can do what is necessary to bring in at least one of those three.

or find one in the portal like they have done in the past. The portal absolutely means chase the elite players and if you miss go get one from there instead.

-2 more DTs and possibly a 3rd if it is the right one. 

-Top end LB or bust

-Hilson and Terry are in unless something weird happened recently.

-If they take K Johnson, it is strictly to piss on The Elk’s rug. They’re going to take a burner with numbers from the portal regardless. That’s allocated. 

-The 2026 S is reclassifying so they’re done after that position unless he screws something up late. 

-They might have to get obnoxious at CB and given that the competition is Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama and ATM, I have to assume they’d target Dijon Lee. This position remains a head scratcher. 

-Given that Terry is going to practice in the spring as though he’s Tyler Warren and one or both of the full time TBs are enrolling early, they’re unlikely to go after a portal TB unless he’s free and hungry. 

-At DT, it’s not so much about landing any single specific guy, and the market is set on what these guys will cost. Whichever guys mesh the best with the staff and want to come to Texas more than some other place, those will be the extra 2-3 guys with whom they close.

I wasn’t at the game and I still think Sark should have pulled Ewers if he came out and played poorly another series. He looked fucking awful. We won in spite of him and that won’t work this weekend. 

Sark didn’t need to create a QB controversy over a limp dick opponent who wasn’t going to outscore us in any case.  Don’t create a mess if you don’t have to …

Zelus Hicks reclassifying is a huge win. Keeping a 5 star safety from Georgia committed to us for over a year would be a tough task.

I generally don’t like the idea of a guy reclassifying to enroll in August, but I’ll absolutely take it over having to hold on for a year

x2 all of this. Considering he's an obvious redshirt candidate and won't, nor shouldn't, be expected to play early, it's all good.

Maybe we can lure Zachariah Branch from USC to add more speed next as a replacement for Bond. He's smaller than Bond but damn he's a dude.

Watch number 23 at the 1:28 mark. That kid is even smaller. He sees Charles' (very large) teammate coming and is basically just like "nope. You're on your own, QB."

This is the depth chart:

LDT	95	Collins, Alfred SR	99	Lole, Jermayne GR/TR	94	Bledsoe, Jaray RS SO
NT	15	Norton, Bill GR/TR	53	Bryant, Aaron RS SO	90	Mitchell, Sydir RS FR
RDT	45	Broughton, Vernon RS SR	98	Savea, Tiaoalii SR/TR	97	January, Alex FR

Hills wasnt on there, but need to add him

 

Texas is losing 5 DTs.. I believe that leaves 5 DTs on the roster for next year. Texas is going to have to go to the portal again this year. They need to take numbers at DT, so they can get out of this recent portal trend. With rosters expanding and recent on field success I cannot think of a reason not to load up.

They might lose 7 if you include Bledsoe and Mitchell

I think Savea is the only one who could come back.

I don't believe we even need to count Mitchell once. It's obvious the dude's time in Austin is over. He's basically already gone. Accordingly, the coaches are already allocating a transfer spot there.

247 updated its ranking and most of our commits got huge jumps.  Jackson is now a composite 5* and Charles, Sharma, Barnes, Townsend, McCutcheon got big bumps.

Nick Brooks dropped out of the top 247 though.

Mbatchou is now in the top 247 and a composite 5*.

That is nuts. Ton of upside on the kid, but he is rotational player in his first year of football. He has all the tools to be an NFL guy, but he is also ridiculously raw. High ceiling/low floor guys should not be 5 stars.

Where 2025 Texas football commits, targets stand in the updated Top247 rankings

How Texas football targets and commits stack up in the updated Top247 rankings.

Jordan Scruggs

247Sports just released its newest Top247 for the Class of 2025 featuring a number of moves for Texas targets. 

The Top247 is 247Sports' ranking of the top 247 recruits across the country. It — along with the other rankings in the industry — help compile the 247Sports Composite, which takes into account the ranking of each player on each site. 

To read more about how 247Sports decides on rankings and how the process works, click HERE. 

This update to the Top247 is one of the more comprehensive updates I've seen for a senior class as there's 40 newcomers to the Top247 including a handful of Texas commits and targets. 

Here is a look at how Texas targets and commits are stacked up in the updated Top247 rankings.

*New ranking: No. 66

Javion Hilson, EDGE, Cocoa (Fla.)

*Previous ranking: No. 44

*New ranking: No. 69

Madden Faraimo, LB, San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) J Serra Catholic

*Previous ranking: No. 114

*New ranking: No. 80

Elijah Barnes, LB, Dallas Skyline — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 107

*New ranking: No. 82

Riley Pettijohn, LB, McKinney — Ohio State commit

*Previous ranking: No. 60

*New ranking: No. 94

Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchcock — Texas A&M commit

*Previous ranking: No. 197

*New ranking: No. 112

Myron Charles, DL, Port Charlotte (Fla.) — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 214

*New ranking: No. 131

Smith Orogbo, EDGE, Alief Hastings — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 176

*New ranking: No. 150

Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng, LB, IMG Academy

*Previous ranking: No. 71

*New ranking: No. 158

Daylan McCutcheon, WR, Lovejoy — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 221

*New ranking: No. 185

James Simon, RB, Shreveport (La.) Calvary Baptist Academy — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 184

*New ranking: No. 191

Josiah Sharma, DL, Folsom (Calif.) — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: 88 rated three-star

*New ranking: No. 210

KJ Lacey, QB, Saraland (Ala.) — Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 180

*New ranking: No. 228

Joseph Mbatchou, DL, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson — Florida commit

*Previous ranking: 89 rated three-star

*New ranking: No. 229

Malcolm Simpson, DL, Hitchcock — Nebraska commit

*Previous ranking: 90 rated nationally unranked four-star

*New ranking: No. 236

Dropped out of Top247:

Nick Brooks, OT, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson – Texas commit

*Previous ranking: No. 143

*New ranking: 90 rated nationally unranked four-star

-Fasusi up from 27 to 17.

-LaMont Rogers up from 104 to 27.

-Brooks down to an unranked four star from 143.

Many mock drafts indicate that Texas likely has two day one OTs picked in May, 2025. While I know there are good OTs in waiting (Goosby and Baker), Brooks should be a good development guy, and Texas leads for Turntine in 2026, I would really like to land Rogers or Fasusi in this class. Nevertheless, Brooks may end up being a starter faster than not, rankings are oftentimes wrong, and Texas may take a portal OT this offseason anyways. Plus, OU's season could go to shit and Fasusi could flip.
