Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton, Jordan Scruggs and Hank South reveal the loaded group of elite recruits expected in Austin for Texas’ primetime showdown with Ohio State. The preliminary list already features the nation’s top two 2028 edge prospects, several priority defensive linemen, elite receiver Champ Mays and Texas quarterback commit Neimann Lawrence, while five-star offensive lineman Ismael Camara is scheduled to make his official visit.

The crew also delivers the latest on Easton Royal’s fall visit schedule and explains why the atmosphere surrounding Texas–Ohio State could matter more to recruits than the final score. Plus, Gerry provides a detailed evaluation of four-star cornerback commit Brandon Sherrard, including his improved size, positional versatility, winner’s mentality and the area of his game he wants to sharpen before arriving on the Forty Acres.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South break down the three biggest developments in Texas’ revamped running back room. New position coach Jabbar Juluke wants the Longhorns to become the most violent runners in the country, and transfers Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers are bringing the physicality, versatility and proven production needed to take pressure off Arch Manning.

 

The biggest fall-camp riser may be freshman Derrek Cooper, whose pass protection, toughness and experience at linebacker have created an immediate path to playing time. The crew also reveals Brown’s surprising short-yardage success, explores Michael Terry’s potential role in two-back formations and explains why the Longhorns’ improved depth could make this rushing attack dramatically less predictable in 2026.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel, Bob Shipley and Stevie Lee react to Steve Sarkisian’s eye-opening comparison of Cam Coleman to NFL legend Julio Jones following the receiver’s viral one-handed catch at Texas practice. The crew explains how Coleman’s catch radius, body control and vertical speed could transform the Longhorns’ offense while discussing Arch Manning’s growing confidence, his trash-talking exchange with Colin Simmons and the intense physicality taking over fall camp.

The conversation also examines Texas’ championship expectations, with the panel projecting a 10-2 or 11-1 regular season and debating why missing the College Football Playoff would be a catastrophe for such a talented roster. Plus, they identify under-the-radar freshmen making noise, break down the difficult matchups against Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU and Tennessee, and explain what must happen for Steve Sarkisian to produce his best offense yet in Austin.
