On Texas Football

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has officially entered championship-or-bust territory in 2026. With potentially one season remaining before Arch Manning enters the NFL Draft, the Longhorns possess the quarterback, roster depth and continuity needed to win it all—but anything short of a national title could leave fans wondering when another opportunity this strong will arrive.

 

The guys also reveal the latest fall-camp intel on Derek Williams, Kade Phillips and the left guard battle between Dylan Sikorski and Laurence Seymore. Plus, they explore Graceson Littleton’s potential move to safety, break down Will Muschamp’s options for defending Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith and debate which Longhorn legends were unfairly excluded from OTF’s top 25 players of the modern era.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Rod Babers deliver the latest intel from a crowded Texas secondary, where Derek Williams is beginning to separate from Kobe Black and Jonah Williams in the competition to start alongside Jelani McDonald. The crew explains why Williams’ renewed physicality is encouraging, what Black must learn after changing positions and why a healthy Jonah still possesses one of the highest ceilings in the defensive back room.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers reveal the two biggest positives emerging from the opening week of Texas fall camp. Rasheem Biles has become a major problem for the offense as Will Muschamp moves him around the formation, giving opponents another dangerous playmaker to locate alongside Colin Simmons. The Longhorns’ offensive firepower has also lived up to the hype, with Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons capable of transforming last season’s inconsistent attack.

 

The crew also examines the two questions Texas must answer before facing Ohio State: left guard and the second safety position. Can Laurence Seymore overtake Dylan Sikorski once the pads begin popping, and is Derek Williams healthy enough to secure the job alongside Jelani McDonald? Plus, they evaluate the alternatives at safety and explain why improved line play, fewer penalties and more explosive runs will be essential against the nation’s toughest schedule.
