  07/08/22 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  In 2015, a yearlong power struggle inside the University of Texas administration finally ended and beer started flowing at Royal-Memorial Stadium. Now UT prefers Longhorns fans drink Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch, one of the nation's largest brewers, announced Thursday that it will become the "exclusive domestic and craft beer sponsor" of Texas athletics, the Texas Exes alumni association and the AT&T Red River Showdown game against rival Oklahoma. The university has signed a five-year marketing and advertising agreement with Anheuser-Busch and Austin-based Brown Distributing. Financial terms were not disclosed. UT signed a similar marketing agreement in 2017 with Constellation Brands, the makers of Corona, the nation's top imported beer.

Bud Light will release UT-branded packaging in 16-ounce aluminum bottles and 12-ounce cans in the state of Texas starting Sept. 1. Texas fans attending home games at Royal-Memorial Stadium have become accustomed to being able to purchase a beer, but it wasn't too long ago that serving beer at college events was virtually unheard of. UT athletics just signed a five-year deal with Anheuser-Busch. In a statement, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said the school was "grateful for the commitment" from both Anheuser-Busch and Brown Distributing, a company that has supported UT athletics for decades. "They're just a fantastic group of folks who are awesome to work with and will absolutely share our devotion to our great Texas fans everywhere," Del Conte said. "We're so excited to welcome Anheuser-Busch to Longhorn Nation as an official sponsor." - Austin American Statesman

  07/08/22 - Keondre Coburn, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-2, 336 (DS#15 DT) + More +

  Big 12 reporters covering the league believe Texas will have a bounce-back season. But they're not picking the Longhorns to steamroll the competition, either. UT was picked to finish fourth in the preseason Big 12 media poll announced Thursday by the league office. A fourth-place finish would equate to a 9-3 or 8-4 type of season. That would represent a solid move in the right direction after coach Steve Sarkisian's first campaign finished 5-7. Long-term recruiting is also on the upswing with quarterback Arch Manning's commitment.

The class of 2023 is now projected to be easily a top-five haul. The Longhorns' arrow is pointed up. But Sarkisian must win in the here and now. In the writers' preseason poll, Baylor collected 17 first-place votes while Oklahoma was second with 12 first-place votes. Oklahoma State was third, and Texas was fourth. Two writers picked the Horns to win the Big 12 while nine thought the Cowboys could win it all. - Austin American Statesman

  07/08/22 - *Bijan Robinson, Jr/2023, Texas, 5-11, 215 (DS#1 RB) + More +

  Texas running backs Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson along with linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and defensive end Ovie Oghoufu will represent the Longhorns at the league's annual pre-season media event in Arlington. Robinson was also named the Big 12's preseason offensive player of the year on Wednesday, according to the league office. The junior has rushed for 1,830 yards the last two seasons with 15 touchdowns. He also averages 12 yards per reception.

Receiver Xavier Worthy and Overshown also received preseason All-Big 12 attention. Robinson and Worthy were both named to the preseason offensive team while Overshown was put on the preseason defensive team. The Horns sure have plenty to talk about as last season's 5-7 campaign is fully in the rearview mirror. In addition to quarterback Quinn Ewers' transfer and 2023 freshman Arch Manning's commitment, Texas players will likely face multiple questions about UT's hopeful resurgence in coach Steve Sarkisian's second season. - Austin American Statesman

  07/08/22 - Keilan Robinson, rSr/2024, Texas, 5-08, 191 (DS#25 RB) + More +

  The going rate for Alabama football championship rings appears to be $60,000. At least that's what's being asked for former running back Keilan Robinson's rings from the 2020 season. As of Thursday, the rings are listed at $60,000 on the website of World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, home of the show "Pawn Stars." The rings are from the SEC Championship win over Florida, the Rose Bowl win over Notre Dame and the College Football Playoff championship win over Ohio State.

Robinson transferred to Texas and played for the Longhorns last season. On an episode of "Pawn Stars," the seller named John was looking for $53,000. He and Rick Harrison, owner of the pawn shop, came to an agreement for $40,000. John said he was a college football fan who received the rings as a gift from his uncle. He said he planned to use the money to take his uncle to the national championship game. Robinson spent 2019 and 2020 with Alabama. As a freshman, he appeared in eight games as he finished with 34 carries for 254 yards and two scores. He opted out of the 2020 season. - Montgomery Advertiser

  07/01/22 - DeMarvion Overshown, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-3, 229 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

  DeMarvion Overshown was the team's leading tackler from a year ago, making 74 stops and along with third-leading tackler Jaylan Ford, Texas has experience at the linebacker position. D'Shawn Jamison, like Overshown, is a super senior and made 48 tackles at cornerback last season and junior Jerrin Thompson made five starts at safety a year ago. Texas was also bolstered by a couple of key transfers with Ryan Watts coming in from Ohio State to play safety and Diamone Tucker-Dorsey arriving from James Madison. Perhaps the most glaring hole on a defense that certainly had a few of them was the lack of a pass rush. No Longhorn had more than 2.5 sacks a year ago and if and how Texas can improve on that could go a long way in determining the efficiency of the unit. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

  06/12/22 - Jack Bouwmeester, rSr/2026, Texas, 6-2, 205 (DS#11 P) + More +

  The Utah Utes are adding another Australian punter to the team. Jack Bouwmeester, who hails from Victoria, Australia, announced on Twitter Thursday that he has committed to Utah. Bouwmeester trained at Punt Factory in Australia. "I am stoked to announce that I have committed & signed with The University of Utah on full-scholarship for this Fall," Bouwmeester tweeted. "I would like to give massive thanks to Aaron Perez for the last few years of help, mentoring & guidance as well as the entire team at PuntFactory Australia - Sav, Darren, Dwayne, Dylan, Jy, and BT," Bouwmeester wrote on Twitter. "Thank you to Coach Wittingham, Shah & Swan for this unreal opportunity. Go Utes." The 6-foot-2, 193-pound Bouwmeester was a three-star prospect who committed to Michigan State in the 2019 class. He did not play for the Spartans in the 2019 season, however, and in the midst of the COVID pandemic in 2020, Bouwmeester left Michigan State and returned to Australia, per SpartansWire. - Deseret News

  05/30/22 - Jermayne Lole, rSr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 315 (DS#999 DT) + More +

  Even when Arizona State defensive tackle Jermayne Lole put his name in the NCAA transfer portal, there was still some hope he might remain to the Sun Devils program because he hadn't closed the door on that possibility. But Lole is indeed moving on after committing to Louisville Friday after a visit to the school. That announcement came before other trips he had planned to Florida, Texas Tech, and Pac-12 foe Oregon.

Lole sat out last season, after sustaining a torn triceps injury in late August. That injury eventually required surgery. He participated in some spring drills on a limited basis did not partake in any contact activity. Lole, a 6-foot-3, 305-pounder, was a three-year starter for the Sun Devils before that injury and was regarded as the No. 2 ranked available prospect in the transfer portal by 247Sports. Lole, who came to ASU from Long Beach Poly (Calif.) High School, recorded 123 tackles, 20 of which were for loss, and 11 sacks in his three years at ASU. - Arizona Republic

  Arguably the most coveted player on the market is FCS All-American linebacker Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey, who wrapped up visits to Texas and UCF in the last week. Texas A&M, Auburn, Ole Miss and others also offered the senior a chance to play at a higher level this season. In the end, the University of Texas won the sweepstakes. "This is my life I'm playing with," Tucker-Dorsey told Sports Illustrated late Thursday. "I've got six months left to play college football to see if I'm going to be able to get that chance at the next opportunity. So I'm gonna make sure I check off all the boxes to find the perfect situation for me. The 5'10", 214-pound redshirt junior, who registered 116 tackles (including 9 tackles for loss), 2.5 sacks and four interceptions for James Madison in 2021, let Steve Sarkisian's staff know of his commitment decision before he left campus midweek. - Sports Illustrated

  05/24/22 - Tarique Milton, rSr/2023, Texas, 5-11, 199 (DS#211 WR) + More +

  Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian added another top player on Monday, with Iowa State wide receiver Tarique Milton announcing he would be playing for the Longhorns next season. Milton revealed his destination via Twitter on Monday afternoon, releasing a statement. He has been in the transfer portal since the 2021 season ended, waiting until spring practices were over to make a decision. Staying within the Big 12, Milton will be heading down to Austin for his final year. "I'd like to thank all of the college programs and coaches who have reached out to me during my time in the portal," Milton said.

Milton spent five seasons with Iowa State, originally being a member of the 2017 recruiting class. Once he was on campus in Ames, the wide receiver took a redshirt year. Add in the COVID-19 eligibility rule and Milton is able to play a sixth year of college football. During his redshirt sophomore campaign, Milton caught 35 passes for 722 yards and three touchdowns. The thought was that Milton would breakout and become one of the best wide receivers in the conference. However, he has not been able to put up similar numbers ever since. Milton had just 30 catches for 380 yards and three touchdowns over his last two years. - Tarique Miltons twitter and online sources

  05/22/22 - Jermayne Lole, rSr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 315 (DS#999 DT) + More +

  You'll be hard pressed to find a college football coach who will turn down the addition of a 300-pound defensive lineman with Division I experience, especially when said player had more solo tackles during the COVID-shortened 2020 season than most returning members of a team's defensive line amassed during a full 2021 campaign. In short: Welcome to Louisville, Jermayne Lole. The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Arizona State transfer announced his commitment to the Cardinals on Friday, just a week after the redshirt senior's official visit to the 502.

Lole's quick turnaround in announcing his commitment speaks volumes of his time with Scott Satterfield and members of the Cardinals' staff, during which he tweeted, "It's different different out here." The former Sun Devil was scheduled to visit Florida on Friday, Texas Tech on May 27 and Oregon on June 3. What did Jermayne Lole do at Arizona State? A three-star prospect out of high school, Lole entered the transfer portal in late April after three seasons with Arizona State. - Courier Journal

  Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey grew up dreaming of playing on college football's highest level, but out of high school he didn't garner enough interest. After playing four seasons at James Madison, appearing in the past 38 consecutive games and making 22 starts at linebacker in the process, Tucker-Dorsey said he entered his name in the transfer portal searching to accomplish his childhood dream. "I feel like I'm a good player and I just wanted to be on a bigger stage," Tucker-Dorsey told the Daily News-Record. "Going into the FBS transition, not being able to win anything had something to do with it. The biggest thing was getting more exposure, playing on a bigger stage and showcasing my talent." Tucker-Dorsey starred on defense this past fall with the Dukes, leading the team with 116 tackles, adding nine tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and four interceptions.

It wasn't an easy decision for the Norfolk native, he said. Tucker-Dorsey called himself a "JMU guy" and said this wasn't something he saw coming a few years ago. "I've been thinking about it for a while," Tucker-Dorsey said. "It definitely wasn't something that just popped into my head. It's been on my mind for a while." Since entering the portal on Tuesday evening, Tucker-Dorsey has heard from a number of major college football programs. The 5-foot-10, 214 pound linebacker has received offers from Auburn, Texas, Texas A&M, UCF and Ole Miss during his short time in the portal. - Daily News-Record

  James Madison redshirt senior linebacker Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey has entered his name in the transfer portal, he announced via Twitter on Tuesday evening. Tucker-Dorsey, who was a leader on the defense for the Dukes this past spring, is in the portal as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining. "JMU nation, I love you!" Tucker-Dorsey wrote in the post. "I will never forget the memories, the highs, the lows, the lessons and the people I have met here. James Madison University is a special place and I was blessed to be a part of it." Tucker-Dorsey started all 14 games last season, logging a team-high 116 tackles with nine tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four interceptions. The Norfolk native was named First Team All-CAA, HERO Sports FCS Second Team All-American and Stats Perform FCS Third Team All-American after the fall campaign. - Daily News-Record
