  03/07/23 - Arch Manning, rJr/2028, Texas, 6-4, 226 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Freshman quarterback Arch Manning hit the field for the first time as Longhorn on Monday as Texas held its first practice of the spring. Manning is one of the more highly anticipated recruiting stories in quite some time at the college level. The former five-star prospect is the nephew of NFL legends Eli and Peyton Manning. While the last name holds significant weight, Arch has proved on the field he has earned all the hype given to him.

Manning threw for over 7,000 yards and nearly 80 touchdowns in his high school career, taking over records set by his uncles. In addition, he led Isidore Newman to the postseason each year as a starter. Manning is set to compete in an excellent Texas quarterback room with returning starter Quinn Ewers and talented second-year passer Maalik Murphy. - USA Today

  03/06/23 - Xavier Worthy, Jr/2024, Texas, 5-11, 165 (DS#6 WR) + More +

  Texas began spring practice on Monday. Third-year head coach Steve Sarkisian spoke with the media and provided an injury update regarding several key players that will be limited to start spring ball. Jonathon Brooks, Jalen Catalon, Derion Gullette, Cole Hutson, Maalik Murphy, Isaiah Neyor, and Keilan Robinson will be limited and/or were limited on Monday.

However, one of the more interesting comments from Sarkisian had to do with the 2022 season. Sarkisian revealed that wide receiver Xavier Worthy played with a broken hand for the second half of the season. It's unclear why Sarkisian chose to keep this in-house, and even more mind-boggling why Texas' offense appeared to force feed the injured wide receiver so often. Worthy has certainly showed his toughness and what he's physically able to play through. - USA Today

  01/25/23 - Adonai Mitchell, Jr/2024, Texas, 6-2, 205 (DS#5 WR) + More +

  Texas has added another target to its passing game. Former Georgia receiver Adonai Mitchell announced Friday night that he will transfer to Texas. The Longhorns confirmed the signing later in the night. Over two years at Georgia, Mitchell won two national championships. He averaged 14.7 yards on his 38 receptions. "New home, same mission," Mitchell tweeted. This past season, Mitchell appeared in six games and scored in both of Georgia's playoff games. As a freshman, he started 12 times and caught the go-ahead touchdown against Alabama in the national championship game.

The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder was rated as a four-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. After the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian opined that it "kind of felt like all year we were searching for a third wideout." That shouldn't be a problem for Texas in 2023. Mitchell joins a receiving corps that's set to retain both Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington, who combined for 110 receptions, 1,412 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. - Austin American Statesman

  01/21/23 - Adonai Mitchell, Jr/2024, Texas, 6-2, 205 (DS#5 WR) + More +

  Say so long to Adonai Mitchell. Georgia's popular wide receiver known as "A.D." entered his name into the transfer portal Wednesday, the last day of the NCAA's newly adopted, 45-day transfer period, according to an unattributed report by DawgsHQ.com. Mitchell's destination is unknown, but speculation is that he will land either at Texas or USC. A native of Missouri City, Texas, Mitchell graduated from Cane Ridge High in Nashville, Tenn., in 2021. Neither Mitchell nor his high school coach could be reached for comment Wednesday. Mitchell was considered the Bulldogs' top receiver entering the 2022 season.

However, he played in only six games because of a high-ankle sprain sustained on the first play of Georgia's second game. However, with touchdown receptions in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and the College Football Playoff Championship game, Mitchell is thought to be the first player to catch a touchdown pass in every CFP game in which he played. He leaves UGA 4-for-4 on that front. Wednesday represented the end of the NCAA's transfer period. Beginning Dec. 5, there is a 45-day window adopted by a membership vote last summer that establishes beginning and end dates to the period in which players can explore the prospect of transferring to another school. The transfer portal is a list serve maintained by the NCAA that is accessible to member schools. There's another window that starts May 1 and lasts 15 days. It was designed for players who may seek a change following spring practice. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

  01/14/23 - Jaylan Ford, Sr/2024, Texas, 6-2, 240 (DS#6 ILB) + More +

  No. 41 is not done. Jaylan Ford announced on Saturday that he will return to Texas for his senior season. A 6-3, 234-pound linebacker, Ford shined during his third season with the Longhorns. During his breakout season, Ford led Texas with his 119 tackles. Ford also intercepted four passes and forced three fumbles. Ford recovered fumbles in the final minutes of UT's close wins over Iowa State and Kansas State.

Ford was beaten out by Kansas State defensive lineman Felix Anudike-Uzomah for the Big 12 defensive player of the year award. He did earn All-American accolades from the Associated Press. Following a 27-20 loss to Washington in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 27, Ford wouldn't say whether he'd enter the NFL Draft or stay in school. Ford promised reporters that "I'll definitely come with an answer here soon." - Austin American Statesman

  01/14/23 - Trey Moore, rSr/2026, Texas, 6-2, 243 (DS#11 OLB) + More +

  UTSA outside linebacker Trey Moore landed on the 2022 Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-America Team, the organization announced on Thursday. Moore is one of 32 first-year players named to the team, and the Smithson Valley High School product is the fourth Roadrunner to be named a Freshman All-American, joining Sincere McCormick (2019 FWAA), Jared Sackett (2017 USA TODAY) and Josiah Tauaefa (2016 FWAA). It also marks the second Freshman All-America honor for Moore, who was named to the College Football News First Team Defense in December. A redshirt freshman, Moore broke Marcus Davenport's single-season program record for tackles for loss by recording 18 total stops behind the line of scrimmage in 2022. He totaled 59 tackles, eight sacks, six pass breakups, five quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery en route to Conference USA All-Freshman Team and honorable mention all-conference accolades. - UTSA Football

  01/14/23 - DeMarvion Overshown, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-3, 229 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

  Texas safety-turned-linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is preparing for the NFL Draft after wrapping up his best season as a Longhorn. Overshown played a massive role in turning around the Texas defense in 2022. He totaled 96 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and four sacks, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors for his efforts. Overshown also displayed strong leadership abilities as a two-year captain for the team. Since spinning down to linebacker from the safety spot ahead of the 2020 season, Overshown has seen steady improvement each year. With a better grasp of the position since developing under Pete Kwiatkowski and Jeff Chaote, he is ready to take on the professional level. - USA Today

  01/11/23 - Christian Jones, rSr/2024, Texas, 6-5, 305 (DS#13 OT) + More +

  Big news for the Longhorns as starting right tackle Christian Jones announced he is returning to Texas for the 2023 season. Jones has played in 48 games in his college career, making 35 starts at tackle. He took a massive leap in production from 2021 to 2022 in his second year working with offensive line coach Kyle Flood. Jones was named an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection while holding down the right side of the line last season. Jones coming back means Texas will be one of the most experienced offenses in the nation entering next year. 10 of 11 starters return on that side of the ball, including all five offensive linemen. - USA Today

  01/11/23 - Moro Ojomo, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-3, 289 (DS#13 DT) + More +

  Texas defensive lineman Moro Ojomo has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft. The redshirt junior announced he would forgo his final season of eligibility and turn pro. Ojomo has been a critical piece on Texas' defensive line over the past four years. The former four-star from the 2018 class played 42 games for the Longhorns in his collegiate career. 2022 was Ojomo's best season as a Texas Longhorn. He was named AP second-team All-Big 12, tallying three sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss. Ojomo helped Texas' massive turnaround of the defensive side of the ball this year. - USA Today

  01/07/23 - Jordan Whittington, rSr/2024, Texas, 6-1, 202 (DS#30 WR) + More +

  The Texas Longhorns received good news on Friday. Wide receiver Jordan Whittington is set to return for another season on the Forty Acres. Whittington has been a key player for Texas over the last two seasons. His injury was a huge reason Texas struggled in the second half of Steve Sarkisian's first season in Austin. His presence helped the offense to new heights this year. The Cuero product had a strong, healthy campaign in 2022 in which he caught 50 passes for 652 yards, an average of 13.0 yards per reception. Now it is important for Steve Sarkisian to make sure Whittington maintains a significant role in the offense. - USA Today

  01/02/23 - TVondre Sweat, rSr/2024, Texas, 6-5, 366 (DS#10 DT) + More +

  T'Vondre Sweat is staying on the Forty Acres another year. The massive defensive tackle made his intentions known following Thursday's bowl game. The news of his return is huge for the Longhorns in light of Keondre Coburn's departure for the NFL. Sweat has all the tools to become a productive player at the next level. He will look to finish his career strong next season. You may recall that Sweat broke through the Alabama offensive line to bring down Bryce Young for what should have been a safety. The disrupter should have more opportunities to wreck ball games with a bigger role next season. No. 93 will likely be joined by Byron Murphy on the interior defensive line with Barryn Sorrell and another edge on the outside. - USA Today

  12/19/22 - *Bijan Robinson, Jr/2023, Texas, 5-11, 215 (DS#1 RB) + More +

  Texas running back Bijan Robinson is skipping his final two seasons of eligibility to enter the NFL draft and won't play in the Alamo Bowl. Robinson earned All-America honors after rushing for 1,580 yards with 18 touchdowns as the Longhorns (8-4) finished third in the Big 12. No. 21 Texas plays 12th-ranked Washington in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29. Robinson played three years but had two seasons of eligibility remaining because his freshman year was the COVID-19-altered 2020 season. The NCAA granted all players another year of eligibility.

"I've done everything that I tried to do in God's plan for me while I've been here," Robinson said at a news conference announcing the decision Monday. "It's time to start the new journey. I'm just excited to figure out another part of my life, just like I tried to figure it out here." Highly recruited out of Arizona, Robinson is fourth on Texas' career rushing list with 3,410 yards rushing. He trails two Heisman Trophy winners in career school rushing leader Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell, who is third. All three of the Texas running backs ahead of Robinson on the career list were top-five picks in the draft. Williams went fifth overall to New Orleans in 1999, Cedric Benson was taken fourth by Chicago in 2005 and Campbell was the No. 1 overall choice by Houston in 1978. - AP College Football
