Texas Spring Football Updates
- Thread starter hookem777
- Start date
Some issues I am seeing. We still don't have a capable running back. Our receivers are hurt. Arch Manning is not Sam Ehlinger. Manning ran the ball once vs Ohio State and ding dong. The best way to help a new qb is to run the ball effectively up the middle with the rb.

I've actually heard opposite. Our rb looks good and Clark might take rb2 away from Gibson. Our young Wr have been great and getting good reps since moore and wingo are out...and arch has been talking shit and making the defense step their game up
The only worry I have and I've heard is our dline. We are very thin in that department and will be hitting the portal
Well, bye bye-
Sources: Vols moving on from QB Iamaleava
Tennessee is moving on from starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, sources told ESPN, in the wake of his decision to not attend practice Friday amid NIL contract discussions with the school.

you guys are pathetic:

Texas is seven practices into spring football, meaning they are essentially at halftime.
We have learned a lot of what's going on in spring ball, but there remains plenty of unknowns for the second half of spring football. However, based off of what we know, I wanted to give a projected 2-deep at each position for the midway point.
***
Offense
Quarterback
Rs. Sophomore Arch Manning
Rs. Freshman Trey Owens
Pretty cut and clean at the quarterback position for Steve Sarkisian and AJ Milwee. Texas has its starter for the fall. Of course, early enrollee KJ Lacey is running third.
Running Back
Junior Tre Wisner
Sophomore Jerrick Gibson – OR – Rs. Freshman Christian Clark
With CJ Baxter still recovering from his knee injury from fall camp, the Longhorns are rolling with Tre Wisner once again as their lead back. Sarkisian confirmed it at the media availability on Tuesday as well, Wisner is the guy. Gibson has the edge over Clark as he gets back to 100% as well. Gibson has filtered in with the first unit often, and Clark has received a solid amount of reps with the 2's. Early enrollees James Simon and Rickey Stewart are growing into their own.
Wide Receiver
X – Rs. Freshman Parker Livingstone
Z – Freshman Jaime Ffrench
H – Freshman Daylan McCutcheon
and
X – Freshman Michael Terry III
Z – Freshman Kaliq Lockett
H – Freshman Aaron Butler
Specifics on the X, Z, H are subject to change, but this is where the reps have been split mostly at practice thus far. Kaliq Lockett was also mentioned by Steve Sarkisian as someone who is running with the first team often. I have not heard that as much for Aaron Butler, however he will get his looks as the spring continues.

Tight End
Rs. Sophomore Spencer Shannon
Freshman Emaree Winston
Texas is banged up. No Jordan Washington for the time being, otherwise he would be your No. 1 option here. Fortunately, this provides great looks for Spencer Shannon for the first time in his career with the first team. Nick Townsend arrives in the summer and will make noise as well.
Offensive Line
LT1 – Rs. Sophomore Trevor Goosby
LT2 – Freshman Nick Brooks
LG1 – Junior Neto Umeozulu
LG2 –Rs. Freshman Nate Kibble – OR – Rs. Sophomore Jaydon Chatman
C1 – Senior Cole Hutson
C2 – Rs. Freshman Daniel Cruz
RG1 – Senior DJ Campbell
RG2 – Rs. Freshman Nate Kibble
RT1 – Sophomore Brandon Baker
RT2 – Rs. Sophomore Andre Cojoe – OR – Freshman Nick Brooks
For the time being, that's where we stand on the offensive line. Plenty of battles on the offensive line as well. Nick Brooks is getting looks at both sides of the ball, a great sign early. Daniel Cruz has been someone we have heard plenty about making noise and Nate Kibble had a tremendous redshirt year and is pushing at both guard spots.

QB Arch Manning and RB Tre Wisner Spoke With Media Thursday AM
Texas QB Arch Manning and RB Quintrevion Wisner were the first Longhorns of the 2025 Spring Practice season to speak with members of the local media on Thursday AM after practice No. 8.
A few main themes are forming thus far through spring ball. Competition in practice, wide receiver room standing out and which of the newcomers are really beginning to stand out.
Some highlights from this morning.
***
Competitiveness in Practice
Steve Sarkisian mentioned this on Monday, and it really struck a chord with me. There is a different level of competitiveness in the spring of 2025 and it is headlined by Arch Manning. It has been a few years since the practices at Denius were filled with jawwing and chirping from one side of the ball to the other, but that is where things stand currently.
Arch Manning: "I think that is just the competition on this team. Obviously, Colin (Simmons) and Ant (Hill Jr.) are good players. It is kind of fun in practice to talk a little crap to them, same with (Michael) Taaffe. It makes practice more fun."
Tre Wisner: "Something I have seen from our first live practice, there was a lot of yapping back and forth from the defense and offense. Those are the types of things you need at practice because it shows the competitiveness between players and we love that."
***
Wide Receiver Room
Texas is young, but talented at the WR room. I don't need to rundown the room again, but there have been plenty of opportunities for new faces to earn their keep this spring including
Arch Manning: "Good. I live with Parker (Livingstone). And for a bunch of those guys, when you are a backup, you spend a lot of time together in practice getting those reps. It is cool now that we are all running with the ones.
Tre Wisner: "(Parker Livingstone) is a baller! White Chocolate!"
****
Newcomers Standing Out
22 early enrollees plus some new faces from the portal litter the practice fields currently in Austin. A look at which guys are standing out to the two backfield players for the Horns.
Arch Manning: "It has been good getting these young guys up to speed. I have been really impressed with Parker and Daylan McCutcheon has been really good and is coming along well. He is getting the hang of things."
Tre Wisner: "I am definitely going to have to say – from an offensive standpoint, Nick (Brooks) the O-Lineman. Kaliq Lockett looks good at receiver and James Simon, definitely. (Simon) is just very smooth. I like the way he uses his eyes and his feet are nice. He know how to move well in tight spaces and that's something you have to have to play running back at The University of Texas."
***
OL Room
The faces on the offensive line are familiar, but new to the starting rotation for the most part in 2025. Aside from DJ Campbell, the OL group is still fresh when it comes to play with one another.
Arch Manning: Spoke very highly of Trevor Goosby as his blindside protector, also called him a heck of an athlete and basketball player
Tre Wisner: "Definitely I would say Neto (Umeozulu) and (Brandon) Baker. For those two to not get as many snaps last year as some of the other guys they have definitely come into the spring with a chip on their shoulder. They have definitely showed the most improvement."

Tre Wisener couln't start at Desoto as a senior. Freshmen receivers aren't going to do anything year 1. This is going to be a bumpy ride.
If we are going from Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond, and Gunnar Helm to Parker Livingstone, we be in trouble.

That's what leads to scuffles..... I've got zero problem with that. As long as it stays on the field. Can't bring that sh!t into the locker room.

I agree most freshman need some time but Sark signed a bunch of straight up dudes at the WR position. I’m banking on at least 1 or 2 of them going all Ryan Williams for us this year.
What? Ffrence did not transfer, or am I just reading this wrong?
scrimmage report
Livingston is looking good still, him and Arch i think will be a nasty combo..
defense won the scrimmage especially in..you guessed it...short yardage play..
Jalon McCutchen and Ffrench are stepping up and getting reps with Wingo and Moore out..
Freshman offense OT Nick Brooks is looking really good
Corner Cade Phillips is making a push to be the other corner opposite of Muhammad
LB Lafu (spellcheck) is coming along and making more plays.
Trey Moore Is playing Linebacker
Anthony Hill and Collin Simmons are dominating...
Vasek is still hurt
