Had these passed along to me by Anwar, who is still covering things on campus.

Alex should have some notes soon.


--- We were allowed to watch quarterbacks handoff and throw short routes to receivers. In that time span, Quinn Ewers and Hudson Card were splitting first-team reps. We were removed from practice before the team drills. However, Card and Quinn were taking an equal amount of reps.

--- Ewers’ reputation for having a strong and accurate arm is warranted. The ball pops when Ewers releases it. As both quarterbacks threw passes next to each other, Ewers’ balls always arrived quicker than Card’s. In addition, every pass by Ewers seemed effortless.

--- Maalik Murphy wore a cast on his right line and did push-ups during a portion of practice with players who were not participating or limited. Linebacker Luke Brockermeyer participated in limited workouts, too.

--- Defensive linemen Byron Murphy II and Vernon Broughton caused fumbles during individual drills. Both players ripped the ball from the hands of other defensive linemen.

--- Isaac Person was the No.1 punter. In addition, Xavier Worthy and D’Shawn Jamison were the primary punt returners during the portion of practice we were allowed to watch.

--- Tight end Jahleel Billingsly and receiver Isaiah Neyor were among the newcomers on special teams.

--- Longhorn running back Bijan Robinson has not missed a beat since last season. Robinson displayed the same explosiveness and change of direction Longhorn fans are accustomed to. In addition, every running back was impressive during individual drills.

--- Xavier Worthy, Jordan Whittington, Isaiah Neyor stood out during drills. Marcus Washington and Dajon Harrison had drops during individual drills but rebounded.

--- Terrance Brooks excelled during pass breakups. Whenever a pass was about to hit a receiver’s hands, Brooks read it perfectly and broke up at least four consecutive passes.
