3rd & Longhorn

Texas Longhorns tight end Spencer Shannon joins 3rd & Longhorn for a conversation that covers everything from his unexpected path to the position to what it means to carry on one of the most impressive tight end traditions in college football. Spencer talks about growing up in California with family ties to Houston, what it was like coming in behind Ja'Tavion Sanders, Gunnar Helm, and Jack Endries and what he learned from each of them, and how he has found his voice as the leader of the tight end room. He also breaks down why Sark considers the tight end the second most important position in the offense, who gives him the most trouble in practice, and which new faces on campus have caught his eye. Oh, and the guy throws 92 miles per hour. We buried that lead a little bit.0:04 Welcome Spencer Shannon to 3rd & Longhorn0:19 Why He Chose Texas and His Family Ties to Houston0:35 Transitioning From California to Austin1:11 A Coach Jeff Banks Story1:41 What He Learned From the Tight Ends Who Came Before Him2:31 Coming From Mater Dei and the Transition to Texas3:03 How He Started Playing Football as a Freshman in High School3:20 Growing Up Playing Basketball and Baseball First4:22 He Throws 92 MPH and Helps His Brother With Pitching4:48 Retired From Basketball at 6 Foot 75:23 Where He Fits in the Modern Tight End Position5:41 His Favorite Tight End Growing Up6:09 Growing Into the Leadership Role in the Tight End Room7:04 Why Sark Says Tight End Is the Second Most Important Position7:30 Pancake Block or Touchdown Catch7:56 Favorite Moments and the Red River Rivalry Experience8:17 Growing Up a Niners Fan but Also a Texans Fan8:40 Who Gives Him the Most Trouble in Practice9:25 New Faces on Campus to Watch10:00 What the Offseason Schedule Looks Like Right Now10:15 Wrap Up and Hook EmWelcome to 3rd & Longhorn, your ultimate destination for all things Texas Longhorn Football!

Texas is number one in the country after one of the most improbable wins in college football history against Ohio State and now they have to turn around and play UTSA from right down the road on I-35. Nick Shuley, Rod Babers, and Jeremy Hills break down the very real danger of the big win hangover, why Coach Flood's advice to Connor Robertson might be the most important thing said all week, and what Texas actually has to do to stay focused and sharp heading into a game that could not be more different than what they just experienced. They also break down the UTSA offense and defense, why Jeff Trailer is a legitimately elite football coach that deserves more respect, and why a team sitting at 11 penalties a game might still give Texas some problems if they are not careful. Plus the alumni segment, special teams preview, and score predictions from the full crew.0:04 Welcome Back - Number One Texas Takes on UTSA0:43 Intro to the Crew and Score Prediction Recap From Ohio State1:39 Texas Leads the All Time Series and Game Week Details2:37 Quick Thoughts - The Big Win Hangover Is the Real Story This Week4:35 Coach Flood Said It Best - Try Losing It6:04 What the Players Said About Being Number One Right Now7:00 Texas Offense vs UTSA Defense13:00 Texas Defense vs UTSA Offense18:00 Jeff Trailer Deserves More Respect Than He Gets22:23 UTSA Alumni Segment With Mark Higgins - Travis Scott and Bruce Bowen24:26 Special Teams Preview Both Kickers Are Worth Watching25:24 Key Stats Third Down Numbers and the UTSA Penalty Problem26:24 Shoutout to Jeff Trailer and His Hall of Fame High School Record27:00 Score Predictions From the Full Crew28:35 Wrap Up and Hook EmWelcome to 3rd & Longhorn, your ultimate destination for all things Texas Longhorn Football!

Rod Babers and Jeremy Hills sit down with Nick Shuley for their final thoughts and full breakdown on how Texas pulled off one of the most improbable wins in college football history against number one Ohio State. Down 20 points in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns did something that statistically should not happen at any level of football.

Coach Steve Sarkisian is back on 3rd & Longhorn and he doesn't hold back. Sark opens up about what he wants his legacy at Texas to look like, how the culture of this roster, with 49 new faces, has come together faster than any team he's had here, and what separates this year's group from previous ones. He talks about the additions of Coach Muschamp and Coach Gideon on the defensive side, what Coach Juluke has brought to the running back room, and why he tapped into Andy Reid, Bill Belichick, Kyle Shanahan, and Sean McVay to figure out how to manage a gauntlet schedule that looks more like an NFL season than a college one. He also gets real about what happened against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, and what this team has to do differently to finish the job. Oh, and we showed him his EA Sports College Football avatar and he was not impressed. This is the most in-depth Sark interview we've done.

Back-to-back NCAA Softball National Champion Coach Mike White stops by the Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Athlete Launch Event at SXSW and he didn't know what he was walking into. Coach White talks about what the Nike partnership means for the growth of softball, what it takes to stay hungry after winning a national championship, and why he believes Chris Del Conte is the driving force behind Texas being the standard in college athletics. Then Teagan Kavan and Reese Atwood crash the interview and turn the tables on their own coach…and it does not disappoint.

Jonah Williams talks about what it's like balancing football and baseball at the highest level, who his favorite two-sport athletes are (Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, and Kyler Murray all get mentions), and what drives him as a competitor. He also reveals his favorite Nike gear from the launch a jumpsuit that looked like a space suit and settles the debate on who the fastest guy on the Texas Baseball team is.

He also walks us through his jaw-dropping interception against Kentucky, discusses learning from veteran DBs, and shares what it's like being coached by DBU legend Pete Kwiatkowski's staff.We also talk athleticism, vertical jumps, playing offense vs. defense, the meaning behind wearing No. 4, and the mindset that allows him to just play fast and free.Note: This interview was recorded prior to Jelani's announcement that he will be returning to Texas rather than entering the NFL Draft.Welcome to 3rd & Longhorn, your ultimate destination for all things Texas Longhorn Football!
