Buckeye Bandits Eye Texas’ Top TE Prospect
Ohio State has set its sights on Brock Williams, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound tight end commit for Texas who’s ranked as the No. 2 TE and a top-70 national prospect. Head coach Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns, fresh off a 10-3 season, are already preparing for a marquee matchup against the Buckeyes next year—and now they must fend off a recruiting raid. OSU quarterback commit Brady Edmunds publicly predicted that Williams will flip on Signing Day, though Texas insiders believe the crystal ball still favors Austin. With flips of other commits already looming, retaining Williams could set the tone for maintaining the class’s defensive and offensive depth.
In a world where colleges treat high schoolers like free-agent targets and coaches channel their inner underworld negotiators, Ohio State is dusting off its best snake-oil sales pitch to woo a teenager. It’s reassuring to know these kids will be ready for life’s real challenges—like deciding between Cheerios and Corn Flakes. Meanwhile, Texas fans are sharpening pitchforks and power-washing the commitments board, determined that no Buckeye-loving villain will swipe their future game-day hero. Drama? Oh yes—and it’s just the appetizer.
Rodriguez Delivers, Longhorns Break Omaha Curse
After a four-year drought, Texas baseball returned to the College World Series thanks to Adrian Rodriguez’s double that drove in the winning runs in a 6-5 win over Oregon in the Austin Super Regional. A senior transfer, Rodriguez had already notched a career-high five RBIs in the previous game and stepped up again when the Horns trailed late. Relief ace Sam Cozart sealed the deal with consecutive 1-2-3 innings, striking out four. Texas now embarks on its 39th trip to Omaha, opening against SEC champion Georgia.
Never underestimate the power of a kid who’s been told “you’ll never get back to Omaha” by every talking head who’s probably never even picked up a bat. It’s almost poetic that the Horns’ longtime “38 trips and counting” sign will be updated while the Ducks scratch their bills wondering how it all flew south. And let’s all tip our caps to transfer portals and veteran coaches—because nothing says success like borrowing other teams’ washed-up prospects to save your program’s dignity.
Longhorns Set for SEC Supremacy in 2026
In On3’s latest SEC power rankings, Texas sits atop the conference entering the 2026 season. After a 10-3 finish and a Citrus Bowl win over Michigan, the Longhorns—led by second-year starter Arch Manning, edge rusher Colin Simmons, and transfer additions Cam Coleman and Rasheem Biles—are predicted to make a playoff push. Veteran DC Will Muschamp’s arrival and a roster loaded talent-by-position have raised expectations higher than ever for Steve Sarkisian’s squad.
Nothing screams stability like hype trains barreling down the track, whistle blowing and band playing, only to derail spectacularly in week two. But hey, if the preseason AP poll loved them enough to slap a No. 1 sticker on their helmets last year, why not do it again? After all, football coaches’ favorite motivational tactic is to remind players that they’re the greatest ever—until reality sets in and we all remember that Arch Manning is still learning how to throw without tripping over his own cleats.
