First kool aid of the fall from FCB

Spoiler

Some quickie notes from the first practice of fall camp …

— Hudson Card got the first reps with the first-team offense, followed by Quinn Ewers.

Both threw a bunch of spot-on passes to receivers in individual drills (when the receivers are just running routes against air). But if you want to nitpick, Ewers was a little sharper, hitting his receivers on all his throws, while Card overthrew Isaiah Neyor on a 20-yard corner route and overthrew Brenen Thompson on a 15-yard out route. 

Third-team QB Maalik Murphy really does look like he’s grown an inch to 6-foot-6. He towers over Card and Ewers. He showed no effects from the ankle surgery he had in December. 

Murphy does appear to have the biggest personality in the QB room - if not the entire offense. The massive freshman quarterback was animated - dancing and joking - after just about everything he did.

— No surprises yet on the offensive line.

The first-team line on Day 1 looked a lot like the first-team line on the last day of spring ball: Left tackle Andrej Karic, left guard Hayden Conner, center Jake Majors, right guard Junior Angilau and right tackle Christian Jones

The Day 1 second-team offensive line: Left tackle Jaylen Garth, left guard Max Merrill, center Logan Parr, right tackle Cole Hutson and right tackle Chad Wolf.

(The coaches clearly want UT’s seven talented freshmen offensive linemen to earn whatever is coming. Kelvin Banks ran some with the third-team offensive line at left tackle as did D.J. Campbell.)

— Jahdae Barron, UT’s likely starter at nickel/star, was moving around fine, but was with the training staff at practice. Backup nickel walk-on (and Arch Manning official visit host) Michael Taaffe of Austin Westlake was getting Barron’s reps. We’re checking on Barron.

— The first-team back seven on defense during pursuit drill was: middle linebacker Jaylan Ford, weak side linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, nickel Michael Taaffe, field corner D’Shawn Jamison, boundary corner Ryan Watts, field safety Jerrin Thompson and boundary safety Anthony Cook.

— Tight end Jahleel Billingsley took himself out of practice during position drills early in practice and appeared to have a slight limp. (Nothing major it appeared.)

— Freshman offensive tackle Cameron Williams (No. 56) is 6-foot-7 and 374 pounds and looks every bit of it.

— Sophomore receiver Troy Omeire had a small brace on his (twice) surgically repaired right knee, but was moving a lot better than he was a year ago at the start of camp. Looked to be running free.

— Iowa State graduate transfer receiver Tarique Milton is smooth and looks fast.

— Alabama redshirt freshman transfer receiver Agiye Hall is long and fast but lacks Milton’s polish in route running.

— At 5-foot-11 and 206 pounds, freshman receiver Savion Red is put together like a running back but showed nice, soft hands as a pass catcher.

The Texas Longhorns opened training camp in the Texas heat on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for Steve Sarkisian’s second season leading the program. 

Media received a viewing window of about 20 minutes. Here are a few -observations.

-We begin at quarterback, where Hudson Card took the first snap in almost every drill. He was then followed by Quinn Ewers, Maalik Murphy, Charles Wright, and Ben Ballard. 

-Many of the quarterback drills in group work featured two quarterbacks throwing to two different receivers, so both of the top guys were able to throw to the No. 1 and No. 2 receivers.

-Our focus elsewhere made it tough to discern a running back pecking order but rest assured, Bijan Robinson still looks like a No. 1 guy. Keilan Robinson looked larger, especially after Jeff Banks said Tuesday that Robinson bulked up 12-13 pounds during the offseason. Jaydon Blue also showed his receiver skills during some drills.

-At wide receiver (X-H-Z), Isaiah Neyor, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Worthy made up the top group with Neyor on the boundary and Whittington in the slot during drills. That trio was followed by Casey Cain, Tarique Milton, and Agiye Hall. The third group was Troy Omeire, Gabe Susler, and Parker Alford. Fourth was Paxton Anderson, Brenen Thompson, and Gus Asel. Fifth was Thatcher Milton, Hamilton McMartin, and Jaden Alexis — who had a sizable knee brace on. Savion Red was in the slot as the last guy in line. Brennan Marion was donning a cowboy hat and very active in coaching his receivers. 

-The first offensive line (L-R) was Andrej Karic, Hayden Conner, Jake Marjos, Junior Angilau, and Christian Jones. The second offensive line was Jaylen Garth, Max Merril, Logan Parr, Cole Hutson, and Chad Wolf. The third offensive line was all freshmen. It went Kelvin Banks, Malik Agbo, Connor Robertson, DJ Campbell, Cam Williams.

-Jahleel Billingsley ended up with a limp after warmups and did not take part in the individual and group drills seen by media. Tight end went like this: Ja’Tavion Sanders, Gunnar Helm, Brayden Liebrock, Juan Davis, Patrick Bayouth, Nathan Hatter.

-On defense, the first team D-line (Jack-Nose-Tackle-Buck) was Barryn Sorrell, Keondre Coburn, Moro Ojomo, and Ovie Oghoufo. First team LBs were DeMarvion Overshown and Jaylan Ford. At boundary safety was Anthony Cook with Jerrin Thompson at free safety. Jahdae Barron manned STAR/nickel. Ryan Watts and D’Shawn Jamison were at corner.

-The second team D-line was Justice Finkley, Vernon Broughton, Byron Murphy, and Prince Dorbah. At middle linebacker behind them was David Gbenda and Jett Bush. Kitan Crawford and JD Coffey manned the two deep safety spots, with Michael Taaffe at STAR. 

-Alfred Collins, T’vondre Sweat, DJ Harris, Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey, Morice Blackwell, Devin Richardson, BJ Allen, and Austin Jordan were a handful of the players running with the third team. Luke Brockermeyer was seen during with a brace on and participating seemingly at full-go.

-In addition to the individual and group drills, there were several periods dedicated to special teams. Everyone but the linemen and quarterbacks were involved. In a slight alteration compared to last year, the entire group was split into four different platoons. Each platoon worked on some specific portion of special teams, whether it be blocking, gunning, or otherwise.

-During the punt portion, the platoons took turns in punt return and coverage. There was a healthy mix of first-string and backup players in each platoon, but Isaac Pearson at punter and Zach Edwards at deep snapper were the constants.

-Returners varied with each platoon, but Tarique Milton, Savion Red, and Xavier Worthy were seen at punt returner.

Collins running 3rd team is an interesting day-1 message
