Clutch Bert Auburn solidifies Texas special teams that have to replace some other starters

Aaron E. Martinez-USA TODAY Sports Jeff Banks has to replace his starting punter and both return men and some of that help isn’t arriving until the summer. Entering the SEC this season, the Texas Longhorns and special teams coordinator Jeff Banks have one of the most important assets in football — a reliable, veteran kicker capable of making high-pressure field goals in close games. Senior Bert Auburn is back for his fourth season on the Forty Acres after earning first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2023 when he set the school and Big 12 records for most consecutive made...

Texas continues to search for answers at edge

Photo by David K Purdy/ Unable to create consistent havoc from the edge, Texas needs to find answers in the spring. For several years running, the Texas Longhorns have needed answers on the edge, especially when it comes to rushing the passer. While Texas showed improvement from 2022 to 2023, with five additional sacks pushing them from No. 5 in the Big 12 to one sack behind West Virginia for the conference lead, the Longhorns were third of the four CFP teams, behind the Michigan Wolverines and Alabama Crimson Tide.

No. 23 Texas avoids sweep with 4-3 win over Washington

Texas baseball A game that ended in the eighth inning due to a curfew helped keep the Longhorns from dropping all three games to the Huskies. The first weekend start by right-hander Max Grubbs was a successful and important one for the Texas Longhorns as the sophomore pitched six one-run innings to set up a 4-3 win in eight innings on Sunday over the Washington Huskies at UFCU Disch-Falk Field to avoid a sweep. In a game delayed by roughly 80 minutes due to lightning in the area, a 4:45 p.m. Central curfew for Washington proved pivotal after Grubbs scattered five hits...

Texas literally has big holes to fill on the DL

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Replacing T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy is a tall task for the Texas defense. It’s perhaps the understatement of the year that the Texas Longhorns defense is going to look significantly different in 2024. Losing either the conference Defensive Player of the Year or the Defensive Lineman of the Year would be a massive hit to any defensive unit. Losing both in the same year, a pair that anchored one of the best run defenses in the country, means that Pete Kwiatkowski and new defensive line coach Kenny Baker. While T’Vondre Sweat and...

AUSTIN, Texas — The excitement of the Texas Longhorns upon earning a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday quickly turned towards senior forward Kadin Shedrick when the Virginia Cavaliers were paired with the Longhorns as one of the No. 10 seeds facing a First Four play-in game on Tuesday.

Four returning starters make the OL once again a strength for Texas

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports As the Longhorns take the field for spring practice on Tuesday, one of the offensive strengths should be in the trenches. It’s clear from how Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood approached offensive line recruiting when they took over for the Texas Longhorns that they knew an overhaul was needed — after Sarkisian’s first spring on the Forty Acres, the roster featured 14 offensive linemen and 14 wide receivers following a cycle in which the Longhorns only took two offensive linemen. Over the next two classes, Flood signed 12 players to a...

How to watch the Selection Sunday NCAA bracket release

Amy Kontras-USA TODAY Sports It seems like the Longhorns are a lock to make the tournament, but the drama surrounds where exactly they’ll end up. After a disappointing exit from the Big 12 Tournament thanks to Thursday’s 78-74 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats, the Texas Longhorns have had quite a long time to wait to find out their seeding, but that wait is finally over with Selection Sunday here. The Longhorns have had what can only be described as an up-and-down end to the season, with important wins over Kansas State, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State...

Washington baseball Another poor starting pitching performance doomed the Longhorns amidst loud outs at the plate. Falling behind early for the 11th time in 18 games, the No. 23 Texas Longhorns were unable to come back from the early deficit created by a poor starting performance from right-hander Cody Howard in a 5-3 loss to the Washington Huskies at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday to drop David Pierce’s team to 10-8 on the season. In an all-too-familiar trend for Texas starter, Howard struggled early and couldn’t recover, walking the first batter of the game on...

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports The Longhorns are coming off of one of the most successful years in recent history and are looking to reload rather than rebuild. One of the ancillary bonuses to the Texas Longhorns playing in the College Football Playoffs is that the gap between the end of the season and the start of spring practice is the shortest it has ever been. It’s a whole new world for Texas as they officially start the 2024 football season in a myriad of ways.

For Texas Longhorns tight ends coach Jeff Banks, the challenge this offseason is simple — replace arguably the best tight end in school history in Ja’Tavion Sanders, who declared early for the 2024 NFL Draft after recording 99 catches for 1,295 yards and seven touchdowns over his two seasons as a contributor for the Longhorns.
