  08/06/21 - Ben Davis, rSr/2022, Texas, 6-4, 237 (DS#50 OLB) + More +

  The Longhorns have added that big-game experience in the form of three transfer linebackers. Alabama's Ben Davis won two national championships with the Crimson Tide. Ray Thornton earned a championship ring at LSU. Ovie Oghoufo played on last year's Notre Dame team that made the College Football Playoff semifinals. "They come from places that have won championships," Coburn, in his fourth season, said of the newcomers. "All they did was bring that and brought it to Texas and showed us ways of how to be a champion."

After Steve Sarkisian's hire in January, Texas added only four high school prospects to its 2021 recruiting class on national signing day in February. He instead used the transfer portal to solidify the depth chart. Thornton transferred in January. Later that month, Oghoufo announced that he'd join the Longhorns as a grad transfer. Davis transferred in April. None of the three were stars at their previous schools. Thornton recorded five tackles last season. Davis totaled three. Oghoufo had 22 tackles and 2.5 sacks over his last two years with the Fighting Irish. - Austin American Statesman

  08/04/21 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Ohio State football has found a fourth quarterback for its 2021 roster in Quinn Ewers, who has elected to arrive six months early. The five-star recruit from the Class of 2022 was supposed to be preparing for his senior season at Southlake Carroll High School in Texas, but will instead enroll a year early. Ewers is the nation's top player in the class and the highest-rated player Ohio State has ever signed, with a perfect star rating. He's long been viewed as the best high school quarterback prospect since Trevor Lawrence, with expectations of one day being the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. In two years as the Dragons' starting quarterback, he threw for 6,445 yards and 73 touchdowns while leading them to last season's 6A Division I Texas State Championship game, where Carroll lost to Westlake High School led by Clemson commit Cade Klubnik.

Standing at 6-foot-3 and 206 pounds, Ewers has the ideal size for a quarterback while having a frame that could still put on weight working with OSU strength coach Mickey Marotti. Ewers has all the tools and can make all the throws. That includes 70-yard passes down the field, making it look easy in the process. That's what stands out about him. Everything he does looks easy and often like he's not trying. His talent level and potential ceiling are why he walked into the Elite 11 competition in July as the favorite to win MVP. But it's also why it was nearly impossible for him to live up to that. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  08/03/21 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  People who say money drove Quinn Ewers' decision to join Ohio State football one year ahead of schedule are wrong. It is not about money - it's about wealth. There is a difference, and it is one the Ewers family already recognizes. "We don't need the money," Ewers told Yahoo's Pete Thamel last week. "It's just the principle of it." Ewers is the first major prospect whose path to college was influenced by name, image and likeness income. According to Thamel's reporting - informed by conversations with the family - Ewers could earn around a million dollars in the coming year.

That isn't a few dollars here or there to play video games with fans, or for a quick Twitter post shouting out some snack delivery service. Ewers' reported figure would mean real endorsement opportunities. That kind of income may only be accessible if you are the No. 1 college football prospect in the country, with a previously perfect recruiting ranking, and you play in the most football-mad state in the nation. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  08/02/21 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Quinn Ewers, considered the top quarterback prospect in the class of 2022, said he is skipping his senior year of high school in Texas and plans to enroll at Ohio State for the upcoming semester. In a Twitter post, Ewers explained he would soon be completing the course necessary to graduate from Southlake Carroll High School outside Dallas. The five-star recruit said his decision was influenced by Texas rules which prohibit high school athletes from earning money from endorsement and sponsorship deals. Last month, the NCAA lifted its long-time ban on athletes being compensated for their names, images and likenesses.

Ewers said his preference would be to “complete my senior season at Southlake Carroll along with teammates and friends I've taken the field alongside the past three years." "However, following conversations with my family and those I know have my best interests in mind, I've decided it's time for me to enroll at Ohio State and begin my career as a Buckeye," he wrote. Ewers' parents told Yahoo! Sports that their son has several potential deals lined up, including one that could land him equity in a company that makes kombucha, but a Texas law aimed at giving college athletes NIL rights prevents high school athletes from doing so. - AP College Football

  07/23/21 - *Bijan Robinson, Jr/2023, Texas, 5-11, 215 (DS#1 RB) + More +

  Bijan Robinson is expected to be one of the top college football players nationally in 2021, so it's no surprise the Texas Longhorns star and Tucson native was named to the Doak Walker Award preseason watch list Wednesday morning. The accolade is awarded to the top running back in college football for the season. Robinson, a 6-foot, 215-pound sophomore, was also named to the Maxwell Award watch list, which is given to the best player in college football. He's also considered a Heisman Trophy hopeful for the 2021 season. In his first season at UT, Robinson started six games at running back and rushed for 703 yards and four touchdowns on 86 carries (8.2 yards per attempt). - Arizona Star News

  06/22/21 - Keithron Lee, rFr/2025, Texas, 5-08, 175 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  Brazos County police records indicate Lee was arrested on Sunday for assault after allegedly strangling his girlfriend in an apartment complex in Bryan. Records say Lee was released on a $5,000 bond. According to a probable cause statement, an officer was dispatched to the Highland Villas Apartments where a juvenile claimed she had been assaulted by her boyfriend. The injuries sustained were consistent in a strangulation, according to police, and the juvenile had a bloody lip. At one point during the altercation, the juvenile told police that she hid in a closet and Lee said, "I'll give you something to cry about." The report states then Lee "started to strangle her again." "We're aware of the situation with Keithron Lee," Sarkisian said in a statement released by UT. "We have talked with his family and he has been suspended from all team activities at this time as we continue to monitor the legal process." - Austin American Statesman

  06/06/21 - Keilan Robinson, rSr/2024, Texas, 5-08, 191 (DS#25 RB) + More +

  Former Alabama running back Keilan Robinson is transferring to Texas, he announced Sunday evening. Robinson entered the NCAA transfer portal last week. He opted out of last season after rushing for 254 yards as a freshman in 2019. He re-joins former Tide offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, now Texas' head coach. Sarkisian also picked up sixth-year outside linebacker Ben Davis in the transfer portal from Alabama earlier this offseason. Alabama had listed the speedy Robinson as a running back and wide receiver for its spring game in April, but weeks later the program added needed speed at receiver in Ohio State transfer Jameson Williams. - Birmingham News

  06/02/21 - Keilan Robinson, rSr/2024, Texas, 5-08, 191 (DS#25 RB) + More +

  Alabama's talented offensive backfield will have one fewer member this fall. Keilan Robinson, a rising junior, entered the NCAA transfer portal Tuesday afternoon, AL.com learned. The Washington DC product didn't play as a sophomore last season but was back at practice this spring. He had one carry for five yards in the A-Day game in April. Alabama figures to have a stack running back room this fall even after losing first-round draft pick Najee Harris. Brian Robinson is back for a fifth year as the top returning rusher after netting 483 yards on 91 carries as the backup to Harris. Robinson came to Alabama as a four-star prospect and the No. 15 running back in the 2019 class that also included Sanders. He gained 254 yards on 39 carries as a true freshman in a reserve role in 2019. A 74-yard touchdown against New Mexico State was the highlight of his only season on the field in Tuscaloosa. - Birmingham News

  05/07/21 - Silas Bolden, rSr/2025, Texas, 5-08, 162 (DS#117 WR) + More +

  No Oregon State football player has made more of the spring season than Silas Bolden. As someone who was on the periphery of a deep wide receiver group last season as a true freshman, Bolden spent his first year in Corvallis soaking in as much knowledge as possible and preparing. Now, with the Beavers' wide receiver corps decimated by injury this spring, he has emerged as an eye-catching playmaker who expects to push for playing time this fall. "It's been great - he's gotten a ton of opportunities and a ton of reps," Oregon State offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren said. "I've been really impressed and I know the offensive staff has been super impressed. That guy shows up with the ball in his hands a lot. He makes a lot of plays." For almost all of the five-week spring season, Bolden has been running with the first unit and looks every bit like he belongs. At 5-foot-8, 150 pounds, he doesn't solve the Beavers' glaring need for a traditional possession receiver, but he's another interesting playmaking option who is electric in space. A highly-touted recruit from Rancho Cucamonga High School in California, Bolden's arrival may have been overshadowed by the bright 2020 campaign of fellow freshman receiver Zeriah Beason. - Gazette Times

  A former Alabama linebacker is set to join Steve Sarkisian at Texas. Ben Davis, the one-time five-star recruit who was a backup for the Crimson Tide last season, announced Monday that he's transferring to Texas. Davis was the top-ranked player in Alabama's 2016 recruiting class but was never able to carve out a starting role with the Tide and entered the NCAA transfer portal in February. The Gordo product played in 11 games as a backup last season and finished the year with three tackles. - Birmingham News

  04/22/21 - Jordan Whittington, rSr/2024, Texas, 6-1, 202 (DS#30 WR) + More +

  Jordan Whittington's mind is far more durable than his body. When Texas coaches wondered about his ability to stay healthy, he just kept working. When fans henpecked him on social media, Whittington showed keyboard-proof positivity. Now in his third season with just six games on his college ledger, Whittington is eager to show everyone that there's still a dynamic playmaker inside that chiseled 6-foot-1, 206-pound frame. "You know, my body's been feeling amazing," Whittington said after Tuesday's practice. "The offense is great. And I think this spring has been a real eye-opener for me just as much as I've developed as a receiver and just seeing this offense and what it can do, it's going to be amazing." Whittington was a superstar at Cuero. It was assumed he'd come to Texas and keep it going. But he aggravated a sports hernia injury first suffered in high school and essentially needed it fixed once and for all. He ended up redshirting in 2019. Last season, Whittington started the opener and then missed two games. He returned against Oklahoma and caught a career-high 10 passes for 65 yards. But then he missed the next three games because of another injury. - Austin American Statesman

  04/19/21 - David Gbenda, rSr/2025, Texas, 6-0, 236 (DS#17 ILB) + More +

  When Texas coach Steve Sarkisian says every player has a clean slate, it means a clean slate. David Gbenda is using his to reshape his college career. The sophomore linebacker from Katy has shown flashes of real athleticism the last two seasons. In 2019, the previous coaching staff asked him to play running back when depth became an issue. Then last season, he went back to defense and had solid impacts against Oklahoma, Kansas State and Colorado in the Alamo Bowl.

The Texas linebackers corps needs more playmakers, especially now that Juwan Mitchell has transferred out. Gbenda (pronounced bend-a) is ready for all the opportunities this new staff will provide. "David Gbenda has been terrific. Been very, very impressed with him," Sarkisian said this week. "He is flying around the football field, playing physical. He's got a real leader's mentality." Other teammates have noticed, too. "David's communication skills are very good," defensive tackle Keondre Coburn said. "He's going to be a very exciting player coming up this year. So I'm really excited for him." - Austin American Statesman

  04/13/21 - Tarique Milton, rSr/2023, Texas, 5-11, 199 (DS#211 WR) + More +

  It was a new experience for Tarique Milton. As his Iowa State football teammates stacked wins and accolades during the 2020 season, the junior wideout was just trying to get, and then stay, on the field. "For the first time in my life," he said this week, "I was an outsider." First it was an ankle injury and then a collarbone issue that kept Milton from fully experiencing last year's 9-3 season in which the Cyclones went to the Big 12 title game and won the Fiesta Bowl. Milton played in just half the games, robbing quarterback Brock Purdy and the Cyclone offense of its top returning wideout. "It was a little pain to watch, to be out, honestly," Milton said, "but there's no regret from it. I wouldn't change it if I could because I need that type of experience. "Being away really made me realize how important the game is to me, and I was willing to do anything, work harder to be back and make sure I can stay healthy. It gave me a different perspective."

Milton had 35 catches for 722 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore in 2019, and his ability to hit big plays was something that was missed from the Iowa State offense in his intermittent absences. "Tarique has been an explosive player here," Iowa State wide receivers coach Nate Scheelhaase said. "He's made a ton of plays down the field. He's been a guy that can go and threaten people. He can threaten them with his speed and ability to make plays with the ball in his hand. "He's a guy that Brock has relied on. He's thrown big plays to him down the field, and again, he's a guy that definitely makes defensive backs back up. Any time you've got those guys out on the field, it's going to make things easier for even the other guys on your offense." - Des Moines Register

  04/10/21 - Joshua Moore, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-1, 168 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  The only senior at the wideout position is Yoakum product Joshua Moore, who's coming off his best season in burnt orange. While his numbers don't jump off the page (30 receptions, 472 yards, 9 touchdowns), his performance against Colorado left most Texas fans encouraged. Moore caught two touchdowns to go along with five receptions and 85 yards in what was arguably his best game all-season since starting the year by accumulated four touchdowns and 200 yards in the first two games against UTEP and Texas Tech. But outside of an eight-reception effort against Oklahoma - a career-high - Moore largely disappeared from the Texas offense. In the final five regular-season games, Moore only caught six passes. But the good news for Texas fans is the answer for Moore's lack of production can be blamed for the offense he was playing in, rather than on him. Tom Herman's offense was rigid and lacked the imagination that can be found in Steve Sarkisian's offense. Another reason to be excited? Like Smith, expect Moore to play the X wide receiver position, but Sarkisian doesn't like to limit receivers to just one position and will move them around on the field constantly. - Austin American Statesman

  03/24/21 - DeMarvion Overshown, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-3, 229 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

  When the Texas Longhorns start spring practice on Tuesday for the first time under new head coach Steve Sarkisian and the first time in two seasons, junior linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is among seven players who will not participate due to injuries, the school announced on Monday. Entering his second season as a starter at linebacker, Overshown recently underwent surgery on his shoulder to correct a torn labrum. Since Overshown has not spent a full offseason at the position and wanted to gain weight to better handle the demands of playing closer to the line of scrimmage, it's a disappointing development for him and for the team. He's expected to return at some point in the summer before preseason training camp begins. - Burnt Orange Nation
