If he blew 0.00, it makes me wonder why he was pulled over in the first place.  And if a butthurt cop decided he wanted to bag a Longhorn athlete and didn't care for what.  Doesn't excuse driving around with a vape pen, but Christ, someone had an attitude that night.

That’s crazy. No way a cop would pull over a UT athlete and not recognize them. Not even if his name was Errick.

Yeah, one practice doing some stairs and let’s call it a day.  DUI is a fucking stretch here, bet it gets dropped.

Speeding down 6th at 2am is pretty stupid, just look at UGA for what happens if you let the team drive around like assholes. He should get some kind of longer penance. But he should be fine going forward.

It had to have been a legal (for now) delta 9 THC pen, as possession of marijuana oil concentrate in any amount is a felony in the state of Texas. That being said, seems like he could have received a ticket for a Minor in Possession of a controlled substance, or whatever it's called, as you have to be 21 to buy that shit.

IIRC it was amusingly UTPD not APD, both of which are as bad as TylerPD

Sorry, I'll stop now.

Curious though why we are discussing a OL lineman arrest in the Archmania thread. Aside of course from the obvious, but seems like it might deserve its own thread?

Because this is a meta thread forum. All breaking news gets put into meta threads and no one knows what's going on.

The is the Texas offseason thread. Having your back-up OT arrested is pertinent.

Yeah, the first part of the title is "Texas Offseason."  This news would qualify.

Spring's Biggest Risders

 

The Texas Longhorns wrapped up the 2025 spring season on Saturday before greeting thousands of Longhorn fans on the field at DKR for the inaugural Fan Fest to wrap up the spring season.

As a result, the highly anticipated 15 practices showcasing 27 first time Longhorns has concluded. 

Texas is going to be a popular pick for the preseason No. 1 team in the country when poll season comes around and for good reason. Led by Colin Simmons, Anthony Hill Jr., Michael Taaffe, Trey Moore and plenty of other returning stars on the defensive side of the ball, the Longhorns will turn the reigns over to Arch Manning and a fresh offensive line.

Fortunately, there is plenty of talent roaming the fields at Denius this spring. And with the spring having finally wrapped up, a quick recap post on which Longhorns you can expect take that leap into the rotation or into the starting lineup based off of their work in the spring.

***

Offense

Freshman OL Nick Brooks

Stop me if you have heard Nick Brooks' name this spring. But the 6-foot-7-inch, 350-pound freshman out of Loganville, Georgia had a spectacular spring. Brooks was quickly elevated to running with the second unit at left tackle and has been praised by many according to OTF's sources. Of course, the left tackle spot belongs to Trevor Goosby entering the season, but there remains limitless hope for Brooks' career at Texas.

 

Redshirt Freshman WR Parker Livingstone

No DeAndre Moore for the spring and a limited Ryan Wingo allowed for Parker Livingstone to oddly become the elder statesmen in the room for the wide receivers this year without having a career reception. Yet, it was very much a positive spring for the second year wide out. Livingstone has big play ability and a frame that is seldomly found in a Sarkisian offense. All in all, the expectation is for Livingstone to find the Texas rotation come the fall, even with the addition of Emmett Mosley V.

 

Redshirt Freshman OL Daniel Cruz

Cruz is running with the second unit right now at the center position. There have been rave reviews all spring in regards to the overall ceiling Cruz will have during his time at Texas. While Cole Hutson remains the odds-on favorite to hold onto the snapping job come the fall, Cruz has been someone often mentioned by folks behind the scenes as one to get excited about.

 

Freshman WR Daylan McCutcheon

Similarly to Livingstone, the lack of depth at wide receiver allowed for the former Lovejoy Leopard to see the field immediately. I have heard that McCutcheon took to the playbook immediately and as a result, quickly ascended in the pecking order of wide receivers this spring. It felt like practice after practice there was a growing level of praise in the direction of the slot wide receiver.

 

Freshman RB James Simon

The Texas RB room has a full stable of bodies and the level of competition is high. The name that continuously popped up throughout the spring was the newcomer out of Shreveport, Louisiana. Jerrick Gibson and Christian Clark each had positive moments this spring as well, but ultimately Simon's name was most often heard.

 

***

Defense

Freshman EDGE Lance Jackson

From Colin Simmons calling him a future first round pick to praise from practice attendees, Jackson's name continued to pop up throughout the spring. The former five-star edge prospect displayed tremendous length and burst off the line of scrimmage. Great start to his campaign as a Longhorn.

 

Sophomore CB Warren Roberson

I will be honest – I knew there the corner room this spring was going to have competition, but I did not expect to hear Warren Roberson's name as often as we ended up after 15 practices. As Texas trends towards more man coverage in 2025, Roberson's skillset fits the bill. A very solid spring for the Red Oak product who is entering year three.

 

Freshman CB Graceson Littleton

The Texas staff is very high on the Florida native and for good reason after the first spring season of his Texas career. Sticky with ballskills is the best way I would describe Littleton so far. How much will we see of Littleton this fall? That remains the question in a loaded cornerback room, but ultimately a strong spring.

 

Junior DB Jelani McDonald

McDonald is going to be a star. The continuity with Michael Taaffe allowed for a seamless transition into the starting lineup. After speaking with McDonald during a player availability, there was a strong sense of confidence coming out of the third year player. McDonald's versatility and ability to play near the LOS is going to be a huge benefit this fall.

What you’re telling me is you can take the football player out of Georgia, but you can’t take the Georgia out of the football player.

I wonder how many drinks it takes to get someone who is about 6'7" 350 lbs. over the legal limit. 

8 beers in one hour

speeding, high as a kite, failed SFSTs.....that's what happens

I don’t know anything about possession laws and the like, but couldn’t representation argue someone (not Brooks) who had been in the truck owned the pen, and it likely fell from their pocket without Nick’s knowledge? Or does the simple fact the pen is in Brooks’ truck a cut and dried case that means he is in violation of the law?

it was in his pocket

Constructive possession is the term youre looking for. If the contraband is in plain view/easily accessible in the vehicle, then you are in possession. 

not necessarily but in this case it doesn't matter

I am going to guess the lesson here is going to be - if the officer asks if he has your consent for a search - you answer No.  

I am sure it will be a fun story of how we got from being pulled over for speeding to getting either a search of your body or a .000 breath test reading.

it was a search incident to arrest, no consent needed

Shouldn’t have gave consent to search.

Shoulda blew, then took his speeding ticket and carried on.

 

not an option

DUI aspect of that is getting expunged. Possession is a big meh. Black guy in Texas though so who knows could end up in El Salvador

probably, because of Travis County, elsewhere, not so fast

that pen is a felony

there is no such offense of minor in possession of controlled substance
