I remember everybody drooling over that performance he had in the Alamo Bowl against an awful Colorado team.

So it looks like no new transfers from Texas. That’s a grand total of 3 guys transferring out of Texas this season.
That means we got a team slam full of bought in, ride or die motherfvckers. Hook’em damn Horns baby!
EDIT: Correction. We had 4 players transfer, not 3.

This tells me that the culture has shifted in the locker room. They are buying whatever Sark is selling. Hopefully that translates to double digit wins this season.
Sounds like a lot of teams tried to lure Maalik into the portal after the spring game but he said no thanks. Glad to see him stay and develop like it should be for all QBs. The fact that kids nowadays want to come in and start day 1 as a freshman is crazy. He'll be 1 injury away from seeing the field next season and from what I saw in the spring game I would be pretty confident in his ability if that did happen.
Looks like he appreciates the time and resources Texas has put into him through this injury. I like he wants to go toe to toe with Arch next spring. If he leaves then I understand. I'm pulling for the dude
Maalik truly loves Texas, and being a Longhorn. The dude wore burnt orange under his helmet his entire senior year of high school. It’s gonna take a lot for him to leave.
And btw, I’m not convinced Arch ends up beating him out.

100%. He is a clear #2 right now. This shouldn’t be a popularity contest. The best QB should start. Let Arch wait until he is a junior to start or else transfer. Malik looked like the real deal in the spring game. I am mot saying annoint Malik, but as things stand, this is my current pov.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Maalik turns out to be the best of the whole bunch. I worry for Quinn. If he gets hurt, he may never get his job back.
Also, Arch may be tough to pry away from Austin as well, even if he can’t beat out Maalik. He’s pretty much a life long Horn fan. There’s video of him as a little kid wearing Texas gear, and saying he wants to go to Texas.
I think Maalik gets even better when he’s playing without a non contact jersey and is able to use his athleticism outside the pocket. 6’5” / 240 lbs worth of QB coming around the corner after the pocket breaks down.
Arch came to Texas , with no NIL deal, no special perks or anything. Hes staying at Texas. The only thing that MIGHT get him to leave is Sark being fired.
Honestly the ideal situation would be Quinn has a great year and goes pro this offseason. Maalik starts next season and goes to the draft and then Arch would be ready to take the reigns in 2025 as a redshirt sophomore. Don't think it would happen like that but it would be nice. Then each QB would have 2 full seasons in the system before they were thrown into the fire as a starter.
Maalik is not an athletic QB like that. He's strictly a pocket passer and does not have much scrambling ability.
Yeah Maalik is probably the least mobile QB on the roster.
I know he’s not Vince or even Quinn but his highlight videos show enough mobility to keep the chains moving when the pocket breaks down and some occasional designed runs. With his size, he will definitely be a handful for a corner or safety on a scramble.
damn Metcalf....how mobile would one expect 6'5" 240lbs to be?
just yanking your chain man... however....at that size I would expect a QB sneak from the 1 yd line would damn sure move the pile forward....
A 6'5 240 lb quarterback shouldn't have any trouble breaking tackles and I'm sure he can dish out punishment.
a
2:35 mark and 3:25 mark show a little bit of scrambling
Malik has the size of Big Ben and his mobility isn’t he best, but also, ain’t the worst

Looks like Urban’s a buyer, or a coach in waiting…?? Lol!
Urban is a POS.He wouldnt come here when we needed him, however, now that Sark has built a roster he wants to swoop in and maybe win a title. Actually, it isnt the roster so much .....At first he was gonna stay in the booth since with the NIL, everyone could pay players.....not just him. Then he starts to do a deep dive into the situation and a light bubl goes off....So what?....Texas can pay more than anyone and just keep doing it!....Voila!....perfect situation for a sleezeball!....Now he wants in....My advice to Urban.....Get in line pal!
Cryst news just came out this morning. Sark really taking a page out of Saban’s book and just bringing in the best minds he can find.
Wait what? We hired a Wisconsin guy to help with offense???
Something’s not right here….

Not sure we really brought him in to “help with offense”. Think we just brought in another good football mind. Could be very useful Wisconsin has turned out great OL for years.
Anyone ever checked out his recorded as Wisconsin? Dude got about as raw a deal as you can as a coach. In 8 seasons he won 10 or more games 4 times. Went 9-4 in 2021 and in 2022 got fired mid season starting 2-3. I think Wisconsin will probably regret that
