Should Texas Play Texas Tech? / Texas Longhorns LIVE 104
Episode Notes: Texas Longhorns LIVE #104 – "Should Texas Play Texas Tech?" Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee Channel: TexasVOCFB Length: ~48 minutes Date: June 2, 2026 Main Segment: Should Texas Schedule Texas Tech? Triggered by Joey McGuire (Texas Tech HC) publicly challenging Texas after Steve Sarkisian’s comments on scheduling strength. Texas Tech’s Move: Viewed as a strong PR win for the Red Raiders. They took advantage of an opening and positioned themselves as the underdog fighting the “bully.” Likelihood of the Game Happening: Very low (hosts say ~1-2% chance). Not primarily because Texas is “too good,” but due to contractual/financial/logistical issues with Texas State (Texas owes them money if the game is canceled) and Abilene Christian. TV networks (ESPN for Texas-Texas State, FS1 for Tech-ACU) would need to align quickly. Travel, ticket complications, and buyouts make it complicated. Hosts’ Take: Respect Texas Tech’s jab; it was fair. The game would be fun/drama-filled and a great Week 1 matchup, but red tape makes it unlikely. Sark probably didn’t need to poke the bear, but his point on schedule strength was accurate. Possible future: CFP matchup or replacing Arkansas in the future SEC schedule. Key Quote: “You gave them the opening to take that shot back.” — Tommy Segment 2: Players to Watch This Summer Hosts each listed key players/position battles to monitor: Tommy’s List: Lawrence Seymour & Nicholas Robertson (OL depth/freshman impact) Derek Cooper (RB depth, red zone/short yardage) Kobe Black vs. Cade Phillips (Corner battle) Sterling Burkholder (WR depth/leadership) Jonah Williams & Derrick Williams Jr. (Safety room health & development) Tyler Atkinson (LB impact as freshman) Justice Terry (Edge/DT versatility) Matthew’s Emphasis: Strong focus on OL (Seymour especially) Linebacker room potential (Atkinson, Snow, Boswell, etc.) Justice Terry as a potential game-changer for edge depth Segment 3: Will Texas Be Better in 2026? Hosts broke it down by key metrics: Sacks Given Up → Yes, significantly better (better OL + Arch Manning’s growth). Sacks Per Game (Defense) → Yes/Marginally better (more aggressive scheme under Muschamp, Colin Simmons unleashed). Red Zone Offense → Yes, but big moments remain a question mark (better talent should help). Points Allowed Per Game → Similar or slightly better (~18.5–20.5 range). Points Scored Per Game → Big jump expected (38–41 PPG range possible). Record → Expectation: 10-2 (with 11-1 possible if they beat Ohio State). 9-3 is the floor they must beat. Overall Outlook: Texas has elite talent (top 2-3 in country with Oregon/Notre Dame). Improved coaching (Muschamp/Gideon), culture, and physicality should push them forward. Ohio State game is pivotal for playoff positioning. Closing Like & Subscribe reminders. Next episode: Tuesday at 8 PM ET. Fan interaction: Comments on players to watch and record predictions. Overall Tone: Optimistic but realistic about challenges. Strong emphasis on culture, physicality, and not taking the foot off the gas despite high expectations. Fun, engaging Longhorn-focused discussion with good banter. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

3 Reasons Will NOT Win The National Championship/ Texas Longhorns LIVE 102
Episode Notes: Texas Longhorns LIVE #102 Show: Voice of College Football (TexasVOCFB) Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee ("Tommy") Date: May 26, 2026 (preseason discussion) Sponsor: FanDuel Quick Overview A standard preseason Texas Longhorns show covering betting lines, coaching comments, national title outlook, and a guest interview. Strong focus on realistic challenges facing Texas in 2026. Key Segments 1. Red River Rivalry Betting Line (Texas vs Oklahoma) Texas favored by ~6.5 points. Hosts view it as roughly fair but discuss potential movement based on early season results. Both teams expected to have tough non-conference games. Emphasis on strong defenses on both sides → likely low-scoring game. 2. Sarkeesian’s Comments on Texas Tech Sark suggested Texas’ 2s/3s could go undefeated against Tech’s schedule (and that Tech would likely make the playoff). Tommy’s Take: Mostly disagrees with the tone (unwarranted shot) but agrees the Big 12 schedule is weak. Still wants the game back on the schedule. Matthew’s Take: Defends the strength-of-schedule point but criticizes delivery — Sark loses people when he sounds "mean." Notes Texas has outgrown the old Big 12. Broader discussion on playoff selection, conference disparities, and scheduling challenges for non-power teams. 3. 3 Reasons Texas Will NOT Win the National Championship (Main Segment) Tommy’s Reasons: Injuries & Depth — Football inevitability. Especially concerned about offensive line, linebacker, safety, and quarterback depth. One bad injury at the wrong time could derail the season. Arch Manning doesn’t take the next step — Needs better short/intermediate accuracy and decisiveness as a runner. Even late-2025 Arch might not be enough for a title. Pressure — Massive expectations (expensive roster, Manning QB, Sark in Year 5-6 window). Pressure can create cracks, especially at Texas. Matthew’s Reasons (overlapping/expanded): Depth issues — Offensive line interior, edge, linebacker, safety, and WR if Cam Coleman misses time. Ryan Wingo not seen as a true WR1 for a title team. Brutal schedule — Ohio State (near must-win), Tennessee in Neyland, Red River, plus tough SEC back half (LSU, A&M, Missouri). Easy to drop early games and get in trouble. Sark needs to adapt — Play-calling flexibility (e.g., 11 personnel adjustments last year) and decision-making under pressure. Consensus: Talent is elite and title upside is real, but margins in a 12-team playoff are razor-thin. Depth + schedule + execution under pressure are the biggest threats. 4. Guest: Andrew Miller (Mississippi State) Discussion on Jeff Lebby’s third year, Camario Taylor (high-ceiling dual-threat QB), offensive weapons (Anthony Evans, Frisco McGee, etc.), and defensive improvements under Zach Arnett. State fans have cautious optimism — aiming for bowl eligibility (6 wins). Preview of Texas-MSU matchup: Low expectations for Bulldogs in Austin, but excitement for their young talent. 5. Closing Standard calls to like/subscribe. Tease future guests (e.g., Texas A&M). Overall Tone Balanced and realistic — high praise for Texas’ talent and Sark but grounded in potential pitfalls. Strong chemistry between hosts. Good guest segment for broader SEC context. Notable Quote: "Pressure is a privilege, and it’s also a lot to deal with." — Tommy on the 2026 Texas environment.

Texas Vs Florida Early Game Preview/ Texas Longhorns LIVE 101
Texas Longhorns LIVE #101 – Texas vs. Florida Early Preview Hosts: Matthew Miller & Tommy (Thomas Bresee) Guest: Tyler Nettuno (FloridaVOCFB co-host & Managing Editor, College Sports Wire) Sponsor: FanDuel Date/Context: Early 2026 offseason discussion (May 19, 2026) 1. Texas Position Group Rankings (Hosts' Consensus) The bulk of the episode features the hosts ranking Texas' position groups from weakest to strongest (with minor variations in order/splitting of DL/Edge): Bottom Tier (Biggest Concerns – Depth/Injury Risks): 10/9: Linebacker (weakest overall; strong starters in Rasheem Biles & Ty Anthony Smith, but thin depth with Tyler Atkinson, Darius Snow, Justin Cryer, etc.) Safety (Jelani McDonald key; concerns about depth and consistency behind him, Xavier Fils-Aimé, Derek Williams Jr.) Offensive Line (depth razor-thin; trust in Trevor Goosby, Melvin Ciani; questions on Connor Robertson, Lawrence Seymour, Brandon Baker's transition) Middle Tier: Tight End (high floor, solid blockers like Michael Masuni & Spencer Shannon; uncertain ceiling/receiving upside with Nick Townsend) Cornerback (high floor with Grayson Littleton, Bo Masco; Kobe Black/Cade Phillips battle; more man coverage expected) Running Back (strong duo in Hollywood Smothers & Relique Brown + Derek Cooper; explosive potential; reliable depth) Top Tier: Defensive Line (combined; elite interior rotation; edge led by Colin Simmons & Lance Jackson with questions behind them) Quarterback (Arch Manning leads one of the best rooms in program history; strong trust in KJ Lacey & D'Abel as backups) #1: Wide Receiver (best duo in country with Cam Coleman & Ryan Wingo; strong depth including Emmitt Mosley, Jermaine Bishop, etc.; only minor debate with Oregon/Miami groups) Key Theme: Bottom 3 groups have real depth/injury fragility. Top groups (especially WR, QB, DL interior) give Texas elite potential. 2. Texas National Championship Case Arch Manning's growth — More comfortable taking over games late (examples vs. A&M, Michigan); better supporting cast reduces burden. Athleticism at QB — Elite dual-threat ability stands out in modern CFB. Improved Running Game — More explosiveness expected from new backs (20+ yard runs projected regularly). 3. Texas vs. Florida 2026 Early Preview (w/ Tyler Nettuno) Florida Context (under new HC John Sumrall): Fan base has largely bought in after initial skepticism (post-Lane Kiffin drama); Sumrall addressed concerns directly and secured key retentions (e.g., Jaden Baugh). Offense: Elite skill positions (Dallas Wilson, Vernell Brown, Eric Singleton). OL is the major question mark (few returning starters). QB battle (Aaron Philo vs. Tramell Jones) ~50/50 leaning Philo due to OC Buster Faulkner familiarity. Defense: High floor/low ceiling (top returning production). Strong starters but depth issues. Brad White scheme expected to evolve. Notable Players: Vernell Brown (underrated WR), Jaden Woods (edge), Miles Graham (LB), Bryce Thornton (S), L.J. McCray (potential breakout). Matchup Angles: Florida's passing game/skill talent could exploit Texas secondary questions (especially safeties). Texas advantages in trenches, QB play, and overall talent depth. Predicted Records for Florida: Ceiling ~9-3 (fringe playoff); Floor ~6-6/7-5; Vegas around 7.5 wins feels right. Game Confidence: Tyler ~85%+ Texas (road game + talent gap); both sides note it's Florida's toughest matchup alongside Georgia. 4. Other Notes FanDuel plug (NBA Conference Finals, future Texas-Ohio State odds). Light-hearted Miami/ACC talk. Strong emphasis on recruiting momentum, OL development, and progress under new regimes. Plugs: Like/subscribe; future SEC guest previews (A&M, Oklahoma, etc.). Overall Tone: Optimistic but realistic on Texas (elite upside with depth concerns); measured excitement for Florida's rebuild. Excellent early-season preview chemistry with the guest. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Texas Lands TE Brock Williams
Video Notes: Texas Longhorns Live – Brock Williams Commitment Breakdown Aired: May 15, 2026 Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee (Tommy) Topic: Commitment of 4-star TE Brock Williams (Libertyville, IL) to Texas Overall Reaction Both hosts call it a massive get — the best tight end recruit Steve Sarkeesian has landed at Texas. Williams is the #4 composite tight end nationally, ~6'5", 215 lbs, from outside Chicago. Described as a dynamic, versatile playmaker who can stretch the field vertically in ways Texas hasn't had recently at the position. Brock Williams Player Profile (from tape & scouting) Versatility: Lines up outside as WR, in-line as blocker, wildcat QB (threw a TD), kick/punt returner (TD last year). Does "just about everything" for his high school offense. Athleticism: Projected mid-4.5s 40 time at NFL Combine level. Explosive, dynamic playmaker. Strengths: Excellent 50/50 ball winner, body control, aggressive blocker (willing, not timid), red-zone threat due to size. Can win 1-on-1 vs. safeties, LBs, or corners anywhere on the field. Areas to improve: Blocking technique (raw like most HS TEs), add weight/size (has the frame at 6'5"), route tree can be limited because HS offense just sent him deep. All very fixable at college level. Comparison/Context: A tick above Nick Townsend in ranking. More vertical/field-stretching threat than Gunnar Helm (who was high 4.6s–low 4.7s). Not a "just better than everyone" product — has real traits. Projection: Won't be Year 1 star but could play 10-20% snaps immediately. Big spring as freshman → immediate contributor. High upside: potential first-round NFL talent (Texas hasn't had an elite TE prospect like this in a long time). Roster & Playing Time Outlook 2026: Likely lose Michael Masuni → competition among Nick Townsend, Emery Winston, and Williams. Sark loves 12 personnel (2 TEs); with more bodies, could see more 13 personnel. 2027 "budget" context: Texas expected to lose 4 OL, 2-3 WRs → young at QB/OL. Tight end group (Townsend + Williams + Winston) allows them to be "cheap" there while investing elsewhere. All three are young/talented. Recruiting & Program Impact Expands Texas' map (first Illinois commit in a while). Shows ability to pull top talent from outside Texas (Georgia, Florida also mentioned). Big win for TE coach Jeff Banks: Texas beat out Georgia (who pivoted to Jackson Dollar). Addresses previous misses on elite TEs (e.g., Caden Prieskorn). 11th recruit in class — ahead of Sark's usual pace. Pairs well with expected Easton Royal commitment; gives Texas two top-4 players at skill positions to build around. Broader Offensive Implications Sark has emphasized QB, LT, and TE as key positions. An elite TE "unlocks" the offense. Improves red-zone efficiency (Sark's focus with recent picks like Cam Coleman, etc.). Better than recent TEs (Helm, Andrees — 7th-rounder) who relied on good WR play and scheming. Williams can create mismatches independently. Long-term: Could be one of the best TEs to come through Austin. Closing Notes Hosts praise Banks as a developer (Townsend, Winston progress cited) and special teams contributor. Next focus: Wide receiver class (Bryson Thrower leaning Texas, etc.). Standard call to like/subscribe for weekly Tuesday 8 PM ET shows and future commitment videos. Sign-off: "Hook 'em!" Key Quote Summary Tommy: "Massive... best tight end recruit Steve Sarkeesian has ever gotten." Matthew: "This is a guy you can set out wide and go one-on-one with the safety/linebacker/corner and he can win that matchup." On upside: Potential first-rounder; changes offense "maybe not freshman year, but sophomore going forward." Solid, high-upside addition that addresses a long-standing position need for Texas while boosting recruiting credibility and future flexibility. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Texas Vs Tennessee Early Preview/ Texas Longhorns LIVE 101
Episode Notes: Texas Longhorns LIVE #101 – Texas vs Tennessee Early Preview Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee Guest: Tucker Harlin (Tennessee VOCFB co-host, SEC VOCFB co-host, Vols Wire recruiting writer, CFB HQ on SI writer) Sponsor: FanDuel Length: ~1 hour Focus: Texas defensive X-factors, most important 2026 games, and an early preview of the marquee non-conference matchup vs. Tennessee in Neyland Stadium. 1. Texas Defensive X-Factors for 2026 The hosts broke down key players who could elevate the defense under Will Muschamp: Defensive Line/Edge: Maraud Watson (DL): Twitchy, former freshman All-American; expected to make a big leap in pass rush and anchor the interior. Colton Vosick (Edge): Health is the big question; high-upside rotational piece who could push the starters. Justice Terry (Edge/Interior): 5-star athletic freak with length; versatile run defender and pass rusher who could see early snaps. Linebackers: Tyler Atkinson: High-priority depth piece; needs to step up as a reliable third linebacker. Darius Snow (transfer): Veteran presence with experience; health and playbook familiarity are keys to winning the LB3 battle vs. Justin Cryer. Secondary: Wardell Mack (CB): Versatile playmaker who could push the corner room to elite status with ball skills. Warren Roberson (CB): Boom-or-bust; showed flashes vs. Michigan but has penalty/aggression issues. Xavier Fils-Aimé (Safety): Critical depth behind Jelani McDonald and Derek Williams Jr.; needs to cut down mistakes to unlock the safety room. Overall Takeaway: Defense has talent and depth but needs health and breakout performances from these X-factors to go from good to great. 2. Top 5 Most Important Games for Texas in 2026 Hosts compared lists (order varied slightly): #5: vs. Texas A&M – Rivalry game; potential playoff implications late in the season. #4: vs. Oklahoma – First of eight straight tough games; sets tone for SEC stretch. #3/2: at Tennessee / at LSU – Road tests in hostile environments; early indicator of road toughness (Tennessee) and late-season title contention (LSU). #1/#2: vs. Ohio State – Measuring stick vs. elite programs; Sark needs a signature non-SEC win. Consensus: Road games in Neyland and at LSU, plus the Ohio State showdown, will define the season. 3. Texas vs. Tennessee Early Preview (Battle of the UTs) Tennessee Outlook (via Tucker Harlin): Strengths: Talented roster across the board, especially skill positions (Brandon Staley, Mike Matthews, Tristan Keyes, Ethan Davis at TE). Strong run game foundation under Josh Heupel. Neyland at night remains a tough environment (estimated ~7-point home advantage, though renovations have slightly muted it). Biggest Question: Quarterback battle (Faison Brandon, George McIntyre, Ryan Staub). Extremely open; likely no starter named until after early games. New QB will have less experience than Nico Iamaleava had. Defensive Concerns: New personnel in secondary; edge depth thin (Chaz Coleman situation trending positive but uncertain). Needs major improvement from 2025. Expectations: 8-4 would be solid given the gauntlet (Texas, A&M, LSU, Alabama). Fans expect a lot but must adjust to 9-game SEC reality. Texas Advantages: More proven quarterback in Arch Manning. Stronger defensive front and secondary potential. Momentum from recent portal and development. Prediction (Tucker): Texas wins, but Neyland will make it very competitive. One of Tennessee’s two likely losses (along with A&M). Atmosphere Note: Night game preferred by fans for hype, but a 3:30 kick could favor Texas. Closing Like/subscribe reminders. Future episodes will feature more opponent previews as summer progresses. Key Quote (Tucker on expectations): “Eight and four has become the new normal in the SEC… we’ve got to stop looking at it as a failure.” This episode delivers strong early-season analysis for Texas fans while giving balanced insight into the Tennessee matchup.

Julian Caldwell Commitment Watch Party REAX LIVE
Episode Notes: Julian Caldwell Commitment Watch Party REAX LIVE Show: Texas at the Voice of College Football (TexasVOCFB) Hosts: Matthew Miller (TexasVOCFB) & Jackson Johnson (AlabamaVOCFB / SECVOCFB) Date: May 9, 2026 (pre-Mother’s Day broadcast) Length: ~27 minutes Subject: Julian Caldwell (WR commitment decision) Key Outcome Julian Caldwell commits to Texas Tech Red Raiders (not Texas or Oregon). Hosts anticipated a Texas lean earlier but correctly predicted Texas Tech based on the setup and context. Texas moves on to other top targets. Main Segments & Highlights 0:00 – 2:00 Welcome and introductions. Hosts note Caldwell is a multi-sport athlete and strong player but unlikely to pick Texas today. 2:00 – 8:00 Caldwell highlight reel discussion (sophomore/junior year). Strengths highlighted: excellent hands, route-running, YAC ability, good (but not elite) speed. Stats mentioned: 94 catches, 1,007+ yards as a junior. Consensus: High 4-star / borderline top-100 talent, not a 5-star burner but very productive. 8:00 – 15:00 Recruiting landscape talk: Texas currently ~16th nationally (10 commits), Oregon ~8th, Texas Tech ~18th. Texas strategy under Sark: slower start but strong finish; heavy portal use; aiming for balanced top-5–10 classes. Texas Tech building momentum in-state. Discussion of other Texas targets: Monshawn Sales (heavy interest), Easton Royal, etc. If Texas misses Caldwell → pivot to Sales/Royal as top priorities. 15:00 – 20:00 Live commitment watch. Balloon/hat setup analysis (more Texas balloons, but hosts sense Texas Tech lean). Commitment moment: Caldwell picks Texas Tech hat → Red Raiders celebration. Immediate reaction: Solid get for Texas Tech in the Big 12; helps their in-state momentum. 20:00 – End Post-commitment analysis: Texas viewed Caldwell as more of a Year 2 contributor; Texas Tech sees him as immediate impact. NIL/portal realities explained. Oregon next steps discussed briefly. MLB/NBA side talk (Braves vs Dodgers, Thunder vs Lakers). Merch plug for TexasVOCFB store. Upcoming shows & social plugs. Mother’s Day shoutout and sign-off. Host Takeaways Matthew Miller: Detailed player evaluation, recruiting rankings insight, optimistic on Texas’ long-term approach. Jackson Johnson: Strong on Texas dominance in-state rivalries (A&M, Oklahoma), big-picture recruiting philosophy. Both viewed the commitment as expected given current dynamics; no major surprise. Notable Quotes/Context “You don’t spend Year 1 money on a Year 2 player” (explaining Texas’ valuation). Emphasis on Texas balancing high school + portal recruiting under Sark. Texas Tech positioned to challenge for top in-state talent in 2026–27 cycle. Episode Tone: Casual, informative, live-reaction style with football analysis, recruiting nerd talk, and light sports betting chatter. Good watch for Texas/Longhorn fans following 2027 recruiting.

X Factor For Each Position/ Texas Longhorns LIVE 100!
Texas Longhorns LIVE #100 Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas “Tommy” Bresee (TexasVOCFB) Date of recording: ~May 5, 2026 (100th episode) Focus: Offensive X-Factors (by position/group), with some defensive key players needing big summers, Buy/Sell segment, and 2027 recruiting discussion. Offensive X-Factors (Main Segment) The hosts each picked 3–4 “X-Factors” — players who could elevate the unit through competition, depth, or unique skill sets, especially around Arch Manning. Quarterback Room Diabell (Tommy’s pick): Not expected to play much (if at all) in 2026, but acts as the alpha pushing Arch Manning and KJ Lacey. Creates internal pressure so no one gets complacent; forces everyone to elevate. Running Back Derek Cooper (both hosts’ pick): The clear consensus X-Factor. Physical, downhill runner with late-run explosion and power that Hollywood Smothers and Relique Brown don’t have. Unlocks a new dimension, especially in the red zone (a historical Sark weakness). Could push Smothers/Brown down draft boards if he forces his way onto the field early. Wide Receiver Daylon McCutcheon (Tommy’s pick): Slot/inside reliability. Needs to be an Emmitt Mosley-style chain-mover (consistent routes, sure hands, third-down conversions) so the top three (Coleman, Wingo, Mosley) stay unstoppable. Sterling Burkhalter (Matthew’s pick): Veteran depth piece. Trending as a top-4 WR on the current depth chart. Critical for load management and keeping stars fresh (especially vs. lower-tier opponents). Played a ton of ball already; small but meaningful snaps add up over a 16-game season. Offensive Line Connor Robertson – Center (Tommy’s pick): Single most important non-Manning player on the team. Elite center play (à la Jake Majors) unlocks protection schemes, blitz pickup, and play-calling flexibility for Arch. Development of Baker, Seymour, Sikorski, etc., falls on him. Jordan Coleman – Tackle depth (Matthew’s pick): Injury insurance. Tackle room is thin if Trevor Goosby misses time (shoulder). One or two games/halfs from Coleman could be season-changing if an injury hits the projected starters. Tight End (bonus mention) Michael Massoon (Tommy): Most complete/versatile TE in the room. Best blocker and pass-catcher among the group right now. Opens up packages for Spencer Shannon, Nick Townsend, etc., instead of them being the primary options. Defensive “X-Factor / Big-Summer” Players (Later Segment) The conversation shifts to players who must perform this summer to lock down roles or provide depth: Tyler Atkinson – LB: Competition and football IQ leader. Keeps the entire linebacker room sharp (Biles, Smith, Cryer, Snow). Mental reps in a complex SEC offense are huge. Cade/Cage Phillips – CB: Listed behind Kobe Black on the depth chart. Needs a strong summer or risks losing snaps (and possibly entering the portal). Fourth CB spot is critical. Derrick Williams Jr. – Safety: Regaining full confidence post-injury. Needs to feel like his freshman-year self again to hold down the spot opposite Jelani McDonald. Bo Masco – CB: Leadership/chemistry guy for the young secondary. Can unify the room with small things (extra work, dinners, technique help for Phillips, etc.). Other Segments (Quick Hits) Buy/Sell Texas enters November undefeated (8-0 through Ohio State, Tennessee, Oklahoma, etc.) → Sell (most likely 7-1). Texas has a Heisman finalist → Buy (Arch Manning heavy favorite; possible Colin Simmons, Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo). Texas offense has 3+ first-team All-SEC players → Buy (Goosby, Coleman, Arch almost locks). Smothers + Brown combine for 2,000 rushing yards → Sell (Derek Cooper + others will eat into carries). 2027 Recruiting Quick Takes (selected) Easton Royal: Tricky; possible decommit/flip to LSU. Brock Williams (TE): Texas lock (commit expected mid-May). OL (Kamara, Swanson): Texas heavy favorites; must land at least one. CB John Meredith: Texas expected to land (but holding it will be a battle). WRs (Monshun Sales, Trey Moore, Bryson Thrower): Texas in strong position on several. Overall Theme The episode frames 2026 as the year the supporting cast and depth around

4-Star RB Noah Roberts Commits To Texas! What Does It Mean For The Longhorns?
Video Notes: "4-Star RB Noah Roberts Commits To Texas! What Does It Mean For The Longhorns?" Host: Thomas Bresee (TexasVOCFB) Date: May 2, 2026 Length: ~10 minutes Player Profile Noah Roberts, 4-star RB from Boscha High School, Chandler, Arizona. National ranking: #18 composite RB. Arizona ranking: #5 player in the state. Career stats (3 years): * Over 2,000 rushing yards, 6.8 YPC, 29 rushing TDs. * Over 1,000 receiving yards, 13 receiving TDs. Improved significantly as a pass-catcher each year (especially junior year). Averaged over 100 total yards per game in last two seasons. Physical measurables: 5'11", 200 lbs (well-built for a RB). Key Strengths Elite one-cut ability — Can turn small holes into big gains (2 yards → 60 yards). Great long speed and open-field athleticism (track background: 10.9 100m, 22.72 200m; expected to improve). Versatile: Comfortable splitting out wide, running routes, or in screens. Solid in pass protection despite not being the biggest player. Good vision and burst in space; fits Steve Sarksian's offense perfectly (space plays, like Jaden Blue early on). Areas for Improvement Contact balance / power running can improve. Sometimes overthinks/bounces runs too much instead of taking what's given (common for elite athletes; should improve in college). Recruiting Context & Impact Texas beat out Michigan, Oregon, and others for the commitment (battle not over). * Official visit to Texas: June 5. * Visit to Oregon: June 12. First RB in Texas' 2027 class; 10th overall commit. Pairs extremely well with Terrick (Derrick) Cooper — potential potent duo for multiple years. High upside as a freshman contributor due to athleticism and versatility. Arizona RBs have historically succeeded at Texas (e.g., Bijan Robinson influence noted). Helps Texas reduce future portal spending at RB; allows focus on other positions (WR, OL, DL) in 2027. Scheme Fit & Future Outlook Excellent fit in Sarkesian offense: open-field athlete who can be used in multiple ways (backfield, split out, two-RB sets). Expected to contribute early, potentially making an impact as soon as he arrives (early 2027 enrollment possible). Texas RB room outlook strong: Roberts + Cooper + potential growth from Michael Terry, James Simon, etc. Host believes Roberts is undervalued (disagrees with 247's 3-star rating; sees him higher). Overall Assessment Big win for Texas recruiting. A versatile, high-upside RB who strengthens the backfield long-term and continues Texas' strong tradition at the position. Commitment is a momentum boost for the 2027 class, but expect continued competition. Closing Notes from Host: Busy recruiting period ahead (mentions Brock Williams, Easton Royal, John Meredith as names to watch). Next live stream: Tuesday to discuss Roberts and more. Hook 'em! Great pickup for Sark and the Longhorns. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
