Dude balled this past Saturday and last season. He'll be playing on Sundays and needs his own thread.

Cheers to all the Burnt Ends members! TE room looks legit for the foreseeable future. 

For those not participating, did y'all like what you saw this past Saturday? Excited about the future of the program?

Funny interview... 😋

Texas TE Gunnar Helm Talks Sark’s Offense & Leading by Example 

3rd & Longhorn        May 2, 2024

 

  • how practice t-shirt colors are used for workouts.  (13min mark)  white, grey, orange, black shirt rating system. Gunnar:  "You don't want to be in a white shirt" 
  • Love the TE position requirements discussion and comments given to Gunnar about how "you sound like a pro" in your preparation.   22:10 min mark

Dude can play.   Seems to be a little more mobile this year like he has shed some bad weight.   Hoping for big things from him.

Probably my imagination, but he almost seemed more like an eligible OT last season, as far as speed and mobility. Even if I’m a dumbass and he’s exactly the same as last year, he’s faster and more agile than I remember. Maybe it was just compared to JT.

Gunnar was on Finebaum this afternoon on my drive home. Did really well for himself.

Paawwlll did ask about being recruited by Bama prior to deciding on Texas, then lo and behold both his position coach and Sark arrive on the UT campus. It was a good solid 5 min interview.

Hook’em!!!

Gunnar tells a funny story about his weight.  When he first showed up on campus, Texas coaches asked him to put on weight.  He then added something like 50 lbs.  He reported the next season and he was asked to drop some weight!  Team player!

Agreed...I had the same feeling.   He seems faster and more mobile like a legit passing game threat at TE this year.

Big play vs iowa state last year...

 

Helm’s dad was sitting behind me in Ames last year. He was so excited that Gunnar was getting some run. It’s fun seeing parents enjoy their kids’ success.

Reminds me of the good ol David Thomas days. Great game Gunnar! 


throwing in a favorite DT TD catch while I'm at it. And Gunnar looks like a bigger faster DT. 

Spoiler

His career YPC is 13.4 (and trending up each year -- 8.8 to 13.7 to 15.6)

Sanders' was 13.1

David Thomas' was 13.9

Finley was 12.5

Scaife was 13.3

Helm is going to play in Sundays.  He played as a true freshman but recorded no catches.  Normally I would regret that for him and us.  But honestly, he probably would go pro even if he had that year back.

There is zero dropoff from Sanders to Helm.  I was not expecting that.

Right before that last catch , 2nd and 15 with about 5 minutes left in the 3rd I said we need to go to Helm again here. I felt it was a crucial point in the game where if we had something bad happen (sack, penalty, turnover etc)there Michigan might possibly have a shot to get back in the game. That was such a smooth, purely hands catch and effortlessly cut upfield for more yardage that it'll give NFL OCs a chubby as they do their draft prep. Could not have been a better display of his skillset. 

Also killed any prayer meatchicken had left in the game

Same here.   Was expecting the Bama TE to carry the load and Helm do what he did with Sanders on the team.   Liking what I am seeing from the kid.
