Podcast appearances and mentions of Arch Manning

Randle head coach Brian Randle joins Rod Babers and Gerry Hamilton to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of Landen Williams-Callis' commitment to Texas. Coach Randle admits Texas A&M held the recruiting advantage for much of the process, but explains how Chris Gilbert's relationship with Williams-Callis and his family helped the Longhorns completely change the trajectory of the recruitment and land one of the state's most productive players. The guys also break down why Williams-Callis' 5-foot-8 frame can become an advantage, highlighting his low center of gravity, elite vision, contact balance and explosive acceleration. Coach Randle discusses carefully managing his workload, his remarkable strength and durability, and the character that separates him away from football—from protecting classmates from bullying to displaying the maturity and leadership of an “old soul.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe and Bobby Burton examine the overlooked training-camp battles that could determine whether Texas has enough quality depth to survive a potential 16- or 17-game championship season. Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley appear to lead a loaded receiver room, but Jermaine Bishop, Kaliq Lockett, Daylan McCutcheon and Sterling Berkhalter are fighting to become the trusted options Texas can call upon when injuries inevitably strike.   The discussion then turns to a defensive front that could be Texas' deepest in decades. Justus Terry has an opportunity to become the disruptive interior presence Will Muschamp needs, while Richard Wesley, Smith Orogbo, Colton Vasek and Zina Umeozulu battle for snaps behind Colin Simmons and Lance Jackson. With talented players competing throughout the rotation, Texas may finally possess the depth required to chase a national championship without suffering a dramatic drop-off when its starters leave the field.

Texas has officially reported for fall camp, and Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton, Blake Munroe and national champion Marcus Myers explain what separates a championship-caliber team from everyone else. The crew discusses the focus, confidence and intensity they expect to see when practice opens, why the Ohio State rematch should command everyone's attention and which overlooked competitions at left guard, safety, tight end and across the defensive rotation could shape the season.   The show also revisits Texas' major recruiting victory with Landen Williams-Callis and the relationships that helped the Longhorns overcome multiple running backs coach changes. Plus, the guys identify Justus Terry, Richard Wesley and Brad Spence as potential defensive breakouts, debate whether Texas can reach 50 sacks and explain what Steve Sarkisian needs from the unresolved left guard battle to protect Arch Manning and revive the running game.   We would like to thank today's sponsors: Longhorn Wealth Management Group - https://www.longhornwealth.net Vonlane - https://www.vonlane.com Mint Mobile - http://www.mintmobile.com/OnTexas ($15 a month for 3 mo) Hays City Store - https://www.hayscitystoretx.com PRIZE PICKS - Sign up for PrizePicks with code HMA and get $150 in lineups if your first $5 lineup wins! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/TEXAS Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The On Texas Football crew reveals which Longhorns they are most excited to watch when training camp begins. Arch Manning returns to full-speed action after missing the spring, while Cam Coleman gets his first opportunity to show how Steve Sarkisian can unlock the complete route-running and yards-after-catch ability that Auburn never fully utilized. The panel also discusses whether Emmett Mosley and freshman Jermaine Bishop can emerge in Texas' loaded receiver room.   Defensively, Justus Terry and Maraad Watson could provide the interior disruption Will Muschamp's scheme desperately needs, while five-star safety Jonah Williams enters a critical camp after battling injuries throughout his young career. Plus, the guys examine Texas' biggest position battle at left guard and explain why Laurence Seymore must prove he can protect Arch, execute the wide-zone scheme and fix the weakness that repeatedly damaged the Longhorns' offense last season.

Former Oregon State and NFL running back JaQuizz Rodgers explains why Texas commit Landen Williams-Callis is one of the most gifted backs the Houston area has ever produced. Rodgers breaks down the speed, power, vision and relentless mentality that have allowed Williams-Callis to dominate since his freshman season—and why his height should never be confused with a lack of size, strength or durability. Rodgers also reveals the advice he gave Williams-Callis just days before his commitment and explains the biggest adjustment awaiting him in college football. With multiple NFL veterans in his family and the opportunity to join Texas' legendary running back fraternity, Williams-Callis now has the platform to chase the standard established by Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, Jamaal Charles and Bijan Robinson.

College football expert Phil Steele joins Bobby Burton to explain why he ranks Texas No. 4 nationally and believes the Longhorns can win the 2026 national championship. Steele projects Texas to have the nation's No. 3 offense and No. 8 defense, pointing to Arch Manning's late-season growth, a dramatically improved offensive line, two proven transfer running backs and the potentially explosive combination of Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo. Steele also breaks down the SEC championship race between Texas and Georgia, explains why the Longhorns landed several major transfer-portal upgrades and evaluates Texas A&M ahead of the rivalry rematch. Plus, he reveals Alabama as his biggest surprise team, names Gunnar Stockton as a long-shot Heisman candidate and explains why the 2027 NFL Draft quarterback class could be one of the deepest in years.

Rod Babers and Jeff Howe explain why Texas cannot continue treating Arch Manning as its most dependable short-yardage runner. With a talented collection of running backs, tight ends and receivers, Steve Sarkisian must develop a more diverse offensive identity featuring power packages, two-back formations, empty sets and tendency-breaking plays. The Longhorns' championship hopes could depend on finally becoming efficient on third down and in the red zone without repeatedly putting their quarterback in harm's way. The discussion then shifts to Will Muschamp and how his new Texas defense could differ from the units he coordinated in Austin nearly two decades ago. Expect aggressive man coverage, more pressure packages and a relentless pursuit of takeaways—even if that approach occasionally surrenders a big play. Rod and Jeff explain how Muschamp's havoc-driven philosophy could create early opportunities for Sark's offense, help Texas play from ahead and unleash Colin Simmons once opponents are forced into predictable passing situations.

Rod Babers and CJ Vogel deliver a blunt assessment of Steve Sarkisian entering his sixth season at Texas. Despite three consecutive double-digit-win seasons, the Longhorns have consistently fallen short of elite status on third down, in the red zone and with their in-game offensive adjustments. With Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons, is this the season Sark finally produces the dominant offense Texas needs to win a national championship?   The guys also discuss Sarkisian's opportunity to defeat Oklahoma and Texas A&M for a third consecutive season, why the Sooners may present the tougher rivalry matchup and which road games could derail Texas' title pursuit. Plus, they break down Graceson Littleton's position in Will Muschamp's secondary, Laerence Seymore's upside at left guard, Landon Williams-Callis' five-star talent and how an aggressive defense could help Texas take control of games early.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers count down the five Longhorns facing the most pressure entering the 2026 season. The list includes secondary leader Jelani McDonald, offensive line coach Kyle Flood and new kicker Gianni Spetic, who could be asked to decide multiple one-score games against one of the nation's most difficult schedules. The crew explains why improved leadership, offensive-line cohesion and clutch special-teams play could determine how far Texas goes.   Arch Manning enters the season at No. 2 with Heisman expectations, NFL attention and the responsibility of elevating Texas in its biggest moments. However, the most pressure belongs to Steve Sarkisian, who must turn a loaded roster, an upgraded offense and Will Muschamp's defense into another College Football Playoff run. Is this finally the season Sark produces an elite offense, defeats the nation's best teams and gets Texas over the championship hump? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has legitimate championship-level upside entering the 2026 season. The Longhorns return a quarterback capable of erasing mistakes in Arch Manning, surround him with explosive weapons at receiver and running back, and feature potential havoc creators such as Colin Simmons and Rasheem Biles on defense. However, Texas must eliminate the penalties, negative plays and offensive-line breakdowns that repeatedly forced the offense behind the chains last season. The conversation then turns to Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and the blueprint Texas can use to disrupt him. Sayin is one of the nation's most accurate passers when protected, but his production drops dramatically when defenses generate consistent pressure—creating a major opportunity for Will Muschamp's aggressive scheme. The guys also discuss why the Ohio State matchup could define Texas' season, Steve Sarkisian's impressive record against the Longhorns' biggest rivals and whether Arch can break Colt McCoy's single-season passing record.

On Texas Football reveals its 10 highest-ranked players on the Longhorns' 2026 roster—and Arch Manning does not claim the top spot. Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel debate whether Manning's leadership and control of the offense should make him No. 1 or whether Colin Simmons' game-changing production, pass-rushing dominance and ability to wreck an opponent's game plan make him Texas' best overall player. The crew also breaks down the championship impact of Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby and Rasheem Biles while identifying the players who must take another step this season. Can Ryan Wingo finally turn his immense potential into consistent production? Will Lance Jackson become the disruptive force Texas needs opposite Simmons? From Bo Mascoe's versatility to Jelani McDonald's leadership and Hero Kanu's development, this episode examines the 10 players who could determine whether Texas wins a national championship.

Plus, the guys discuss Texas' future with sponsored jersey patches, realistic expectations for basketball phenom Marcus Spears Jr. and the offensive coordinators Longhorn fans would rather forget.

Draft season is here and DJ and Kelcey are not pulling any punches. This week on the High Low Sports Podcast: the five NFL teams you should be avoiding in your 2026 fantasy football drafts, Kelcey's bold SEC top-5 predictions with LSU at No. 1 and Alabama sitting in 6th on a tiebreaker, and a breakdown of the best quarterback-wide receiver stacks to build your roster around this season.   On the fantasy side: the Browns have one or two guys worth a look and that's it. The Titans give you Carnell Tate and Wandale Robinson — and Wandale is a sell-high candidate by Week 7 before the cliff comes. The Panthers rest on Jonathan Brooks' knees. The Dolphins are in an ethical tank. And San Francisco? CMC is ride or die, Kittle's out until November, and DJ is fading the whole roster for the first time in years.   On the college side: Lane Kiffin and Sam Leavitt in Death Valley. Arch Manning finally getting a genuine No. 1 wide receiver in Cam Coleman at Texas. Ole Miss staying together after the Lane Train departed. And the honest truth that the bottom of the SEC is genuinely rough this year — sorry, Arkansas.   Then DJ walks through five QB-WR stacks that could win your league — from the safest play (Goff and ARSB, NFC North defenses are cooked) to the all-in bet (Burrow and Chase, untouchable ceiling, health-permitting) and the overlooked steal of the board (Stafford and Puka Nacua, whose stack has produced Calvin Johnson, Cooper Kupp, and a receiver-one finish every time). Sharp, unfiltered, and zero safe takes. That's the show.

The Senior Bowl's executive director joins On Texas Football for an inside look at how NFL teams evaluate college prospects and what separates legitimate draft talent from preseason hype. He explains the traits scouts prioritize, how they balance production with potential and why health, consistency and competitive makeup can dramatically affect a player's draft stock. The conversation also turns toward the Texas Longhorns and the players who could generate serious NFL buzz during the 2026 season. Which Longhorns have the tools to play at the next level, who could make the biggest jump and what will scouts need to see once the games begin? This episode provides a revealing look at Texas' pro potential and the evaluation process that could determine which Longhorns become major names in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Jeff Howe, Rod Babers and CJ Vogel break down one of the most important position battles of Texas training camp: the competition at left guard. The numbers reveal just how damaging the position was last season, as Texas left guards allowed a nation-worst 26.5 percent pressure rate while Arch Manning finished as one of the most pressured quarterbacks in college football. Could All-American transfer Laurence Seymore provide the immediate upgrade the Longhorns desperately need?   The crew examines Seymore's athleticism, body transformation and fit within Steve Sarkisian's offense while discussing the other contenders who could challenge him for the starting job. They also explain why improved interior physicality, pass protection and offensive-line cohesion could determine whether Texas fixes its running game, protects Arch Manning and finally executes against elite defenses such as Ohio State, Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Texas knows it has a championship-caliber team—and the coaches and players are no longer attempting to downplay that reality. The crew also examines the questions that could determine whether Texas fulfills those expectations, including improvement along the offensive line, finding the right starting five, creating a more consistent running game and eliminating the costly penalties that plagued the Longhorns last season. With Ohio State arriving in Week 2 and a demanding SEC schedule ahead, Texas cannot afford another slow start. The talent is in place, but execution, discipline and situational football will decide whether the Longhorns become a true national championship team. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jim Dunaway joins Connor O'Gara for Episode 6 of The Connor O'Gara Show to break down the biggest stories and debates coming out of SEC Media Days in Tampa. Connor and Jim discuss the reaction to Jon Sumrall's podium comments, Ryan Silverfield's response, the pressure on sports media personalities to manufacture outrage and which SEC players made the biggest impression in person—including Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown, Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia and Texas star Arch Manning. The conversation also dives deep into Kalen DeBoer's championship expectations at Alabama, Stephen A. Smith's criticism of DeBoer, Nick Saban's famous “process” mentality and why Alabama could be one of the most unpredictable teams in college football. Jim explains why the Crimson Tide could finish anywhere from 12-0 to 7-5 and why Alabama's front seven remains such a major concern entering the 2026 season. Plus, Connor and Jim discuss the SEC's potential nine-game conference schedule, Greg Sankey's College Football Playoff argument, whether a 9-3 SEC team would receive the benefit of the doubt and how many automatic playoff spots the conference deserves. The episode closes with a conversation about perfect family vacations, Jim's childhood trips to Dauphin Island, becoming a Disney family and Connor's upcoming getaway to Door County, Wisconsin.

Is Georgia still in a tier by itself, or does Steve Sarkisian finally have the roster capable of overtaking Kirby Smart?

Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray breaks down Arch Manning's development as he prepares for his second season leading the Texas offense. Murray explains why the jump from Year 1 to Year 2 can be so significant for a starting quarterback, from improving fundamentals and processing defenses to identifying the concepts an offense executes best. He also examines Manning's NFL potential, the importance of improved offensive-line play and how Steve Sarkisian can use Texas' collection of receivers to create favorable matchups. Murray also evaluates several of the SEC's other prominent quarterbacks, including Trinidad Chambliss at Ole Miss and John Mateer at Oklahoma. He discusses Chambliss' ability to create outside the structure of an offense, Mateer's aggressive gunslinger mentality and why Oklahoma must take pressure off its quarterback with a dependable running game.

Andy and Randy talk about the love affair with Texas despite them not winning anything for a while and if Arch Manning is going to become a top QB ahead of the NFL Draft.

Texas Longhorns' starting quarterback Arch Manning chats with Trey Elling at SEC Football Media Days in Tampa, Florida!

NFL insider Brian Baldinger joins the show and admits he can't confidently predict whether Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson starts Week 1, pointing to the Browns' fully rebuilt offensive line as the bigger swing factor than either quarterback. He praises new pass rusher Jared Verse's work ethic while noting he's not on Myles Garrett's level yet, and pushes back on the idea that Sanders' outside ventures (music, modeling, reality TV) are compatible with what NFL coaches expect from a 24/7 quarterback. Baldinger also weighs in on the wide receiver battle between Jerry Jeudy, KC Concepcion, Isaiah Bond and Denzel Boston, flags Arch Manning as QB1 for the 2027 draft class, and says Brendan Sorsby's decision not to play this year will likely hurt his draft stock.

Steve Sarkisian dropped a bombshell from SEC Media Days: five-star cornerback John Meredith is reclassifying to the 2026 class and will join the Texas Longhorns in time for August practice. Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel break down why getting one of the nation's top defensive prospects on campus a year early is a massive win for Texas—both for Meredith's development and for a recruiting class that no longer has to protect his commitment through December. The crew also evaluates what Meredith brings to the secondary, including his rare combination of length, speed, confidence, physicality and natural coverage ability. While he may not be expected to make an immediate impact as a true freshman, an extra year inside Will Muschamp's system could position Meredith to become a major contributor—and potential NFL Draft pick—much sooner than originally expected. Plus, the guys discuss Sarkisian's flair for delivering major recruiting news at SEC Media Days and how Meredith's move could reshape Texas' 2026 and 2027 class rankings.

Plus, the guys discuss Florida's John Sumrall, Cole Hutson's eligibility update, what Texas fans should want to hear from Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning, Colin Simmons, and Trevor Goosby at SEC Media Days, and why Elko's “empty trophy case” comment is already becoming rivalry fuel.
