2022 Summer Season: Flavor-Aid (Strength: Prison Wine)

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

I just just hope we beat Kansas this year. Would be nice to beat them by multiple scores, but I’ll just take a W against them at this point. We haven’t beaten them since we 2019 when Dicker the Kicker hit the game winner to beat them by 2 points

Complete look at Texas newcomers ahead of fall camp

ByTAYLOR ESTES         8 hours ago

Quote

Texas football is less than two weeks out until making the return to training camp grind with the start of fall camp.

The Longhorns have a lot of improvement that needs to be made from last year's 5-7 team, though are expected to have a lot more talent at their disposal in Year 2 under Steve Sarkisian.

Texas added the first wave of fresh talent to the team prior to the start of the spring semester — including five-star transfer quarterback Quinn Ewers, four-star cornerback Terrance Brooks, four-star EDGE Justice Finkley, four-star safety Bryan Allen Jr., four-star cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau, four-star defensive lineman Jaray Bledsoe, four-star transfer wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, four-star transfer tight end Jahleel Billingsley, four-star quarterback Maalik Murphy, four-star running back Jaydon Blue, four-star safety Larry Turner-Gooden, four-star offensive lineman Cole Hutson, three-star transfer cornerback Ryan Watts and three-star defensive lineman Aaron Bryant — and have since welcomed all members of the nation's No. 5 ranked signing class in 2022.

The Longhorns recently updated the 2022 roster prior to the start of preseason training camp, which caught the attention of several Texas fans, particularly the size of the true freshmen offensive linemen the Longhorns added in the 2022 cycle.

Horns247 takes a complete look at all of the Longhorns' new faces, measurables and jersey numbers added to the team this summer as Texas approaches the start of fall camp.

No. 52 Devon Campbell

Position: Offensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 321 pounds

High school: Arlington Bowie

As a recruit: Five-star (0.9944 rating), No. 10 overall prospect, No. 1 offensive guard, No. 3 recruit in Texas

247Sports scouting evaluation: Average height with good length and broad, stout build. Owns college-ready size and matching field demeanor.

Two-way snaps foster functional athleticism and awareness. Displays impressive movement ability relative to size with mobility to lead the way as a puller and as a devastating second-level blocker. Heavy-handed. Shows startling punch power at times.

Impressive open-field athleticism when lead-blocking beyond the line of scrimmage.

Terrorizes second-level defenders and looks for extra work. Two-sport participation in football and basketball (can dunk). Also a very good lifter in the weight room. 

Can improve hand placement consistency. Good athlete but can continue to hone balance and body control, particularly when engaged. Weight has fluctuated a bit so remaining conditioned is key. 

Ready-to-play run blocker but technical advancements still needed in pass protection. Could potentially play multiple offensive line spots -- as well as defensive tackle -- but projects best to guard. Should become an impact high-major starter with high-round NFL Draft potential.

No. 78 Kelvin Banks

Position: Offensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 318 pounds

High school: Humble Summer Creek

As a recruit: Five-star (0.9842 rating), No. 33 overall prospect, No. 3 offensive tackle, No. 8 recruit in Texas

247Sports scouting evaluation: Broad, heavy offensive lineman with guard field demeanor and tackle reach and mobility. Owns above average length that combines with body width to maximize wingspan. Understands not only pad leverage but angles relative to targets and hand placement.

Devastating puller with heavy hands and short-area power. Wipeout strength shines at the second level. Drive-blocking ability derives in part from consistent foot activity upon contact. Flashes de-cleating punch and will pancake targets to the ground when necessary. Good functional athleticism relative to size aids pass-pro ability. Light enough on his feet to mirror edge speed, but size and reach compensate when a tic behind. Showed improved bending ability in senior season, which also revealed improved hand placement consistency.

Still gets out over his feet at times. Balance and body control remain areas that can improve, but 2021 showed progress. Provides excellent roster value in versatility to play either tackle spot and both guard spots if needed. Combines high-floor ability with developmental upside. Projects to the high-major level as a multi-year starter who should become a stalwart of his team's offensive line. Possesses the attributes to become a high-round NFL Draft prospect in the long term.

No. 72 Neto Umeozulu

Position: Offensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 314 pounds

High school: Allen

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9599 rating), No. 91 overall prospect, No. 4 offensive guard, No. 16 recruit in Texas

No. 17 J'Mond Tapp

Position: Edge

Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 247 pounds

High school: Ascension Catholic (La.)

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9551 rating), No. 107 overall prospect, No. 11 Edge, No. 9 recruit in Louisiana

247Sports scouting evaluation: Adequate height with above average length. Stout build that still owns space for added mass. Play strength is obvious on tape.

Displays disengaging ability thanks to phone booth power and sheer brute strength. Above average pursuit ability relative to size and role. Could potentially grow into an interior spot, but reach and two-point burst from the edge could put him in space for good as a hybrid defender. Quickness off the ball noticeably better from a two-point stance than three- or four-point. Varied athletic profile that includes two-way participation with snaps at tight end and the backfield.

Plays basketball and throws the shot put, plus limited 200- and 400-meter opportunities. Will need to work on bending better and playing low to aid leverage. Naturally disruptive but can add technical nuance and hand violence at the point of attack. Better fluidity through the core will enhance redirecting ability and pass-rushing effectiveness, especially when aligned on the edge. Projects to the high-major level as a potential impact player who fits multiple spots in varying personnel looks. Long-term ceiling could lead to NFL Draft candidacy.

No. 11 Brenen Thompson

Position: Wide receiver

Height/weight: 5-foot-11, 162 pounds

High school: Spearman

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9476 rating), No. 131 overall prospect, No. 20 wide receiver, No. 21 recruit in Texas

247Sports scouting evaluation: Lean, athletic build. Size not verified but could be frame-limited. Nevertheless, owns adequate size for what he will be asked to do at the next level. Owns varied positional experience on both sides of the ball and in the return game. Comfortable catching the ball out of the backfield and in downfield scenarios. Big-play machine at the Texas Class 3A Division II level.

Elite track profile, including a sophomore 10.32 100, followed by a junior 10.38 and a 21.27 200. Speed manifests on the field. Displays great run-after-catch ability. Shows some slippery functional strength above his weight in those RAC opportunities. Athleticism and ball skills to play receiver, all-purpose back, or cornerback at the Power Five level. Should be considered in the return game early in college. Doesn't need to gear down too much when redirecting. Competitive in contested situations and plays above his size when necessary. High points well for a slot type.

Same skills would translate well to corner. Top-end speed is faster than relatively low-slung gait may suggest at first glance. Faces large jump in level of competition. Will need to add mass to frame to help transition to P5 level. Route nuance should improve as full-time reps at receiver increase. Dynamic natural athlete with verified long speed and proven big-play punch. Projects to the high-major level with three-phase competency, but most likely at receiver and kick returner. Given athleticism and varied positional background, ceiling could be high with potential to be a multi-year impact starter and NFL Draft prospect.

No. 97 Kristopher Ross

Position: Defensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 265 pounds

High school: North Shore

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9103 rating), No. 250 overall prospect, No. 33 defensive lineman, No. 39 recruit in Texas

No. 4 Austin Jordan

Position: Defensive back

Height/weight: 6-foot, 197 pounds

High school: Denton Ryan

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9094 rating), No. 256 overall prospect, No. 21 safety, No. 41 recruit in Texas

247Sports scouting evaluation: Possesses good size for a defensive back, whether playing corner or projecting to safety. Above average height with good length and an athletic build. Has predominantly played cornerback through his junior season, but could project better in the long run as a deep safety. Very good linear athlete with proven straight-line speed in a track environment. Ran a 10.98 100 as a freshman and an 11.04 100 as a junior. Also has posted several 200-meter times between 22.15 and 22.02, a PR from Spring 2021. Flashes the speed to run with wideouts on vertical shots. Length aids in ability to disrupt at the catch point.

Long levers also a factor in stripping ability, which he flashed multiple times as a junior. Sometimes sacrifices tackling technique to go for the ball overzealously. Often arrives high as a tackler. Lateral fluidity and turn-and-locate skills can improve in man coverage. Will be dangerous as a back-end defender if horizontal ability catches up to forward-oriented play. Projects to the high-major level as a potentially position-versatile defensive back with terrific raw tools and straight-line speed that could foster a ceiling beyond college.

No. 67 Malik Agbo

Position: Offensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 337 pounds

High school: Todd Beamer (Federal Way, Wash.)

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9064 rating), No. 269 overall prospect, No. 23 offensive tackle, No. 5 recruit in Washington

247Sports scouting evaluation: While Agbo has played primarily tackle as a prep, he projects to sliding inside to play guard. Shows plus athleticism, being used as a goalline back and tight end in some packages, so has the athleticism to play tackle, but with his size and strength, will be utilized better against interior defenders.

With his bulk and size, moves nimbly on his feet. Excels as a run blocker and continuing to improve in pass protection. Anchors quickly and can re-set, with heavy hands and initial punch. Consistency and motor can ebb and flow depending on the time of game. Could also use some time to trim up and not play with extra weight. Vocal leader. Plays basketball and throws the shot put, and is an accomplished multi-sport athlete.

No. 9 Derrick Brown

Position: Linebacker

Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 206 pounds

High school: Texarkana Texas High

As a recruit: Four-star (0.8986 rating), No. 335 overall prospect, No. 28 edge, No. 46 recruit in Texas

247Sports scouting evaluation: Requisite height with slightly plus length and plenty of space to add mass. Stand-up rush end or 3-4 outside linebacker frame, play style, and experience. Plays above his current weight thanks to disengaging ability. Above average functional athlete with good fluidity and bend off the edge.

Flashes some back-side athleticism. Shows encouraging rush nuance with inside moves and counters. Gets his hands up and into passing lanes when unable to get home to the QB. Good production during junior season. Must add weight and strength, which will help with point-of-attack effectiveness vs. the run and tackling consistency. Lacks desired snap anticipation. Can improve explosiveness, particularly in tight quarters. Projects to the Power Five level with the potential to become a quality starter and a long-term ceiling that could lead him beyond college.

No. 86 Zac Swanson

Position: Defensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 250 pounds

High school: Brophy College Prep (Phoenix)

As a recruit: Four-star (0.8944 rating), No. 374 overall prospect, No. 48 defensive lineman, No. 6 recruit in Arizona

247Sports scouting evaluation: Well-proportioned frame with decent length and growth potential. Carries weight well and could continue to add bulk. Strong lower half. Aggressive lineman who gets good push at the snap. Shows ability to extend arms upon contact to generate momentum into backfield. Maintains good pad level as he fights through gaps. Flashes nice array of pass-rush moves and knack for shedding blocks. Displays forceful punch and wraps up on tackles, showing awareness in run support. Explodes out of his stance and gets would-be blockers on their heels fast. Could continue to improve gap integrity and refine the routes he takes to the football. Potential multi-year starter at elite Power Five level with chance to garner serious NFL Draft attention.

No. 91 Ethan Burke

Position: Edge

Height/weight: 6-foot-7, 234 pounds

High school: Austin Westlake

As a recruit: Four-star (0.8938 rating), No. 379 overall prospect, No. 30 edge, No. 51 recruit in Texas

No. 56 Cameron Williams

Position: Offensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-7, 374 pounds

No. 62 Connor Robertson

Position: Offensive lineman

Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 298 pounds

High school: Austin Westlake

As a recruit: Three-star (0.8781 rating), No. 600 overall prospect, No. 27 offensive guard, No. 89 recruit in Texas

No. 14 Xavion Brice

Position: Defensive back

Height/weight: 6-foot-1, 176 pounds

High school: Arlington Seguin

As a recruit: Three-star (0.8752 rating), No. 651 overall prospect, No. 43 athlete, No. 97 recruit in Texas

No. 17 Savion Red

Position: Wide receiver

Height/weight: 5-foot-11, 206 pounds

High school: Grand Prairie

As a recruit: Three-star (0.8444 rating), No. 107 athlete, No. 203 recruit in Texas

No. 15 Will Stone

Height/weight: 6-foot, 186 pounds

High school: Austin Regents

As a recruit: Three-star (0.8300 rating), No. 3 kicker, No. 231 recruit in Texas

No. 58 Lance St. Louis

Height/weight: 6-foot-1, 213 pounds

High school: Williams Field (Gilbert, Ariz.)

As a recruit: Two-star (0.7911 rating), No. 1 longsnapper, No. 42 recruit in Arizona

TRANSFER ENROLLEES

No. 15 Agiye Hall

Position: Wide receiver

Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 194 pounds

Previous school: Alabama (Sophomore transfer)

As a transfer: Four-star (0.9000 rating)

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9788 rating), No. 45 overall prospect, No. 5 wide receiver, No. 11 recruit in Florida

247Sports scouting evaluation: Well-built with the frame to add more mass once he gets in a college strength program. A long, gifted athlete who tests very well in combine settings. Among the better athletes at receiver in the 2021 cycle. Broke out as a sophomore at a top high school program in the Tampa area. Saw a slight dip in production as a junior. Has the physical ability to run past corners and separate downfield with his long speed. Has the athletic ability to make acrobatic catches and pull away from defenders after the catch.

Is raw technically as a receiver and will need to improve his releases and route-running in addition to being hesitant around contact at times. Can also improve his ball skills as he's not yet a natural catcher of the football at times. Projects as a multi-year starter at the Power Five level with the upside of developing into an early to mid-round NFL Draft pick.

No. 16 Tarique Milton

Is this the first season in awhile where we don’t anticipate a walk on getting significant playing time? Between Dylan Haines, Kai Money, and Luke Brockermeyer we had a long stretch. 

Can you define significant?

I’m not sure Mo Money got significant run. He did play for sure.
