Quote

No. 7 Bryan Allen Jr.

11021634.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,off

Position: Defensive back

Height/weight: 6-foot, 205 pounds (up nine pounds since spring football)

High school: Aledo

As a recruit: Four-star (0.9505 rating), No. 125 overall prospect, No. 10 safety, No. 20 recruit in Texas

247Sports high school scouting evaluation: "Good frame with plus-4.5 length. Lean, athletic build with obvious space to add mass. Versatile defensive back who can stay on the field in all situations. Length aids in catch-point disruption in coverage and tackling consistency. Willing participant vs. the run with some pop when able to uncoil. Plays for state title-caliber Texas 5A program with ample experience in pressure situations. Strong tackling production as a sophomore. Solid junior production with perhaps increased stops vs. the pass. Plays aware and instinctive. Accelerates well in pursuit, when breaking on the ball, and in recovery speed. Does not give up the outside often. Takes good angles to the ball as a tackler. Quite natural when asked to play center field. Shows good play speed with a solid 11.27-second 100-meter time from sophomore year. Still has room to get faster at the top end with frame length to help reach that. Ball skills can improve. Competent over the top and covering the slot but honing man coverage technique will enhance game further. One of the top DB's in Texas and likely among the better safeties nationally in his class. Projects as a multi-year impact player at the Power Five level and potential early-round NFL Draft pick." — 247Sports Midlands region recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks.

According to that 247 report, Ryan Watts measures in at 6'3" and 206 lbs (down three lbs since spring).

Impressive dimensions for a corner back, but is anyone else worried that the weight loss might result in his arms getting too long to play the position?

Washington linebacker Travis Feeney used a combination of speed and skill to tally 17.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks (both third best in the Pac-12 in 2015), while measuring the highest jump among linebackers at the NFL Combine.

 

 

I guess PK plans to use Overshown the same way he use Travis Feeney.

What was this in reference to? Assume a question about starting QB but appreciate any context if you have some.

Unprompted comment from Gerry this morning on a Wells article from yesterday discussing Sark’s comments on the QB situation from the press conference.

X-posting because there are very interesting quotes. Kind of paints the picture of who we all expect imo….

 

Steve Sarkisian opens up on the Texas quarterback competition

Justin Wells•about 3 hours

Charles Wright, Hudson Card, and Quinn Ewers (Will Gallagher/Inside Texas)

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian knows he has a big decision at quarterback for 2022. His two options; the returner in Hudson Card and the newcomer in Quinn Ewers. 

“Clearly, they are at different phases of their development,” said Sarkisian. “Hudson Card needed to develop his comfort level in their system in year two. For Quinn Ewers, it was simply learning the system.” 

[Get a FREE 7-day trial of Inside Texas Plus!]

It’s been a battle since spring ball began. Sarkisian sees the upside in both signal-callers, and believes the competition will only make them stronger. 

“Quinn and Hudson are in a great battle right now,” said Sarkisian. “Hudson has got a little bit more experience and has been in the system for a year. His confidence level is really high, and I’m excited for him. Quinn is a very talented young man. Extremely coachable, great teammate. So, I love where we’re at. I think inevitably at some point in the season, we’re going to need both those guys to help us win a championship. But we’ll find out who it’s going to be in Week 1, and we’ll go from there.”

It’s a good problem to have when you’ve got two highly-rated and talented quarterbacks to choose from in the QB room. 

“I think two things that have stood out to me, in both scrimmages that we’ve had thus far, both guys have played really well,” said Sarkisian. “I’ve been very impressed with their playmaking ability, their ability to take their shots. Not that every throw is perfect, but they’ve been really effective on third down. Both guys have used their legs well.”

Card has the extra year of experience in the system to benefit him, while Ewers is becoming a fast learner.

“I think Hudson, naturally some of the game management things come really natural to him just having been doing it with us,” Sarkisian said at the 2022 Big 12 Media Days last month. “I think Quinn is a very quick study. There’s things that come to him that are new or a situational thing that comes to him that is new. But he really takes the coaching and tries to apply it the next time out. And I think both guys have really earned a lot of respect of their teammates in their approach to their preparation and then ultimately their ability to execute.”

“In the end, from where that position is today from where we were a year ago, I’m really pleased,” said Sarkisian. “I just think we’re at a place right now where we’re playing very good football at that position.”

Does Sarkisian have an idea of when he’d like to name a starting signal-caller for 2022? 

“I have an idea in my mind, but I’m not going to tell you guys.”

What you can expect is that Ewers is named the starter after either the first or second scrimmage. The second scrimmage will have some really big alumni names there, so they may leverage that one to highlight the impact of NIL. Don’t know which one, but they’ll get it done weeks ahead of the first whistle being blown. 

Anyone who watched Card play last year and then the Ewers recruitment and thinks “yeah, they’ll probably start Card this year” is stuck in a Mack Brown time warp.

Yea but it's a long season and we need Card to not transfer. Is the time up on the transfer calendar yet?

I read the above as, Quinn needs to learn the system but he is ready and I read the Card part as,  he needs to stop shitting down his leg when his first read isn't open,

I believe he graduates from the McCombs school this year. He’s not transferring this season regardless at this point. Next year he will grad transfer and we will all wish him the best as we should.

My same contact is saying Sorrell is going to show this year and expects him to be our best pass rusher. The guy telling me this is a solid 6'4" and played D1 and says Sorrell is taller than him (the roster says he is 6'3") .

Texas Football: Successful so far, offseason to be determined by August

Eric Nahlin•18 minutes

Article written by:Eric Nahlin

Steve Sarkisian (Will Gallagher/Inside Texas)

Last season’s loss to Kansas and Bo Davis’ bus tirade after the Iowa State defeat highlighted just how important Steve Sarkisian’s year one to year two offseason would be. Beginning with December’s crucial recruiting flourish, Sark and his coaches had a laundry list of things to accomplish. So far, so good.

[Get a 50% off an Inside Texas Plus subscription!]

Recruiting flourish

They caught some breaks after the season, but the finish to the 2022 recruiting class raised the floor and the ceiling of the program considerably, beginning with the offensive line. Numerous members of that O-line class will play this season.

Portal recruiting

We mentioned in early December that UT would be one of the biggest winners in portal recruiting and that worked both from the standpoint of imports and exports. A fun, but probably unnecessary exercise would be to rank all the players gained and lost during the offseason. Quarterback Quinn Ewers and wide receiver Isaiah Neyor in particular look to play massive roles this year. Tight end Jahleel Billingsley will make his share of plays, too. At a minimum, Ryan Watts on the defensive side should become a solid starter. One of the few negatives of the offseason was the inability to land TCU transfer defensive end Ochaun Mathis.

New coaches

With Stan Drayton departing to become Temple head coach and Andre Coleman not being retained, Sark was afforded the opportunity to upgrade both running back and wide receiver coaching. Drayton did good work, especially landing Bijan Robinson, but he was otherwise an average recruiter while Coleman was clearly subpar. Thanks to the hiring of Tashard Choice and Brennan Marion, Texas is in position to land the best running back class in the nation with the wide receiver haul too far behind.

In addition to giving recruiting a youthful, energetic jolt, the new coaches have added the same to the program. Marion in particular provides schematic and technical value-add, with hints of his Go-Go offense being sprinkled in and the receivers running noticeably crisper routes during the spring.

Stoking leadership

In a nod to Davis’ post-Iowa State rant, Sark had to address lack of team leadership. He did that through player-driven competition where teams were drafted by team leaders. The result was that players knew exactly where they stood within team hierarchy and clear leaders emerged. How well this works likely depends on how much adversity the team faces this season, but the program is clearly in a better place year over year.

Gary Patterson

Relatively early on, Sark made the call to keep the defensive staff completely intact but that didn’t stop him from increasing experience and IQ on that side of the ball. The addition of Patterson not only helps the defense, but also Sark as head coach. Patterson‘s unparalleled familiarity with the conference should benefit game planning week to week. However, I think his biggest task lies ahead of him this August as he peer-reviews Pete Kwiatkowski’s year-two defense.

This successful offseason goes for naught if the program doesn’t show marked improvement this season. That makes August extremely important as all these aspects are collated together. During the lost decade we’ve seen Texas teams, no matter the head coach, discovering who they are through the adventure of 12 Saturdays. Actual games should be used for fine-tuning, not finding out who you are.

The greatest task for August will be to establish team identity on both sides of the ball. To accomplish that, the staff needs to understand what players can and can’t do, and therefore which schemes, plays, and personnel packages work and don’t work. Even Texas pessimists trust Sark to navigate this on the offensive side of the ball, but great head coaches are able to do the same on the opposite side of their background.

Fortunately, I think Kwiatkowski has a plan more custom tailored to his personnel for this season and we should see improvement. We’ll be covering that throughout August, along with many other storylines.

Is all we had to do recruit guys that are 6'5'' for a pass rush? How have we been missing this?

Honestly, man, if you don't know how the transfer portal works and when the cutoffs occur at this point, you should do your own work and figure it out through google. This is a terrible post on every level - awareness, knowledge, creativity, confidence, and effort. Get your shit together if you're going to actively post in the season thread. 

"Hey, closetojumping, you know this is the football board, right?"

Christ. Nevermind. Carry on, I guess.
