Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South examine three critical questions Texas cannot truly answer during fall camp. Will a more experienced offensive line finally protect Arch Manning and create movement in the running game? Can Laurence Seymore master the Longhorns' wide-zone scheme and win the left guard job? And if Arch is forced to miss time, is KJ Lacey ready to lead Texas through a meaningful game?   The crew also evaluates whether Will Muschamp's aggressive defense can fix the coverage breakdowns that plagued Texas late last season. With Colin Simmons creating pressure and Bo Mascoe, Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips playing tighter coverage, the secondary possesses major upside—but the unresolved safety battle remains a concern. Texas State will provide the first test, but the answers may not become clear until Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State arrive in Austin. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel and Bob Shipley react to Paul Finebaum picking Texas over Georgia to win the 2026 SEC Championship. The crew explains why Will Muschamp's intimate knowledge of Kirby Smart's defense could provide Steve Sarkisian with a crucial advantage—and why Texas must improve its running game, red-zone execution and offensive-line play before it can break the championship monopoly held by Georgia, Alabama and LSU.   The discussion also examines whether Texas could make one of the nation's biggest offensive-line improvements behind Trevor Goosby and Melvin Siani, who both rank among the SEC's highest-graded tackles. Plus, Hank South explains the latest developments surrounding eligibility and proposed federal college-sports legislation, while the guys discuss the expectations facing reclassified five-star defender John Meredith after receiving the prestigious No. 0 jersey.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Hank South break down Texas' pursuit of elite edge rusher DJ Jacobs, who remains committed to Ohio State but is expected to visit Austin this fall. With Colin Simmons potentially entering the NFL Draft after the season, the Longhorns are pushing for a massive addition at a premium position—and the Texas–Ohio State night game could provide the perfect setting to change the momentum of his recruitment. The crew also delivers the latest on five-star receiver Easton Royal, who remains committed to Texas but plans to take his recruitment into December while LSU and Florida continue their pursuit. Plus, the guys identify linebacker, safety and offensive tackle as positions Texas could address through senior evaluations, and Gerry previews several major basketball visits—including top national prospect Beckham Black.

The Texas Longhorns have had success against their biggest rival over the last few seasons, holding the Oklahoma Sooners without an offensive touchdown and running away with the rivalry.

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.

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.

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.

Horns247's Eric Henry and Chip Brown are back with another episode of The Flagship Podcast. The guys dive into all things Texas football as they take a look at how the Longhorns will fare in the Southeastern Conference. They also talk about Texas basketball's SEC schedule and more. Enjoy!

One of the glaring losses on the Texas Longhorns' schedule a year ago was a frustrating loss to the Florida Gators. The Longhorns went to the swamp with high hopes for SEC play and walked away with a conference loss, that would eventually keep them out of the playoffs. With a new regime bringing the Gators to Austin, what can we expect from them?

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

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.

Kenny and Payton preview Mizzou football's matchups against Arkansas and Texas. The guys assess the climb for new Razorbacks head coach Ryan Silverfield, who is looking for a spark early in the season ahead of a tough conference schedule, before highlighting all the keys to the Longhorns competing for the national championship. The show closes with Quick Hits: Keegan O'Toole, Sterling Webb, Peter Malnati and the men's basketball schedule. 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.

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, Gerry Hamilton and Jordan Scruggs deliver the latest intel before elite 2027 running back Landon Williams-Callis announces his commitment. After falling behind following Tashard Choice's departure, Texas mounted a major comeback through a full-staff recruiting effort and now appears to be the favorite over Texas A&M, SMU and the rest of the field. The crew explains why the Longhorns have surged—and why both Gerry and Jordan are predicting Texas. Williams-Callis is already one of the most accomplished running backs in Texas high school football history, with an opportunity to challenge several major records during his senior season. The guys examine his historic production, his potential legacy in Austin and how pairing him with Noah Roberts could give Steve Sarkisian an exceptional two-back class while reducing Texas' future dependence on the transfer portal.

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.

They also examine Texas' experienced special-teams units, Justus Terry's physical transformation and the defensive possibilities created by Will Muschamp's new scheme.   The discussion turns to the biggest factors that could determine whether Texas finally wins the national championship: staying healthy, controlling the line of scrimmage, protecting Arch, creating explosive plays and performing in clutch situations. The panel also addresses Texas' costly penalty problem, the possibility of Xavier Filsaime moving to nickel, Laurence Seymore's fit on the offensive line and whether the Longhorns could produce two 1,000-yard rushers.

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.

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, Bobby Burton, CJ Vogel and Hank South reveal their biggest Texas takeaways from SEC Media Days. The panel discusses Steve Sarkisian's confidence in what may be the most talented roster he has assembled in Austin, the significance of the Longhorns entering fall camp almost completely healthy and why expectations now extend far beyond simply reaching the College Football Playoff. 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.

The conversation also covers Arch Manning's place among the SEC's quarterbacks, Oklahoma's championship-caliber defense and the potential impact of Lane Kiffin at LSU. Craig also looks ahead to Texas' demanding road schedule, including trips to Tennessee, LSU, Missouri and Texas A&M, while sharing stories from nearly four decades of traveling with the Longhorns. He ultimately predicts Texas will reach the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta and secure a College Football Playoff berth, provided the Longhorns remain healthy and continue improving throughout a difficult nine-game SEC schedule.

On3's Andy Staples joins The Next Round live from SEC Media Days in Tampa to break down the biggest storylines, pressure points and preseason debates surrounding SEC football heading into the 2026 college football season. Is Alabama being overlooked entering another season under Kalen DeBoer? Andy explains why the Crimson Tide may be flying under the radar and what Alabama must prove to reestablish itself as a legitimate SEC and College Football Playoff contender. Is Andy buying or selling Ole Miss? Can Pete Golding keep the Rebels in the SEC championship conversation, or are expectations getting too high in Oxford? Plus, how much pressure is Steve Sarkisian facing to win immediately at Texas? With championship expectations surrounding the Longhorns, Andy discusses whether anything short of a deep College Football Playoff run would be considered a disappointment.

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.
