Trey Hopkins

Good for him. Just signed a 3 year extension. Went undrafted out of Texas and has become starting center. Earned himself another contract   Great to see Texas OL doing well In the League.  Grinded it out for 3 years on practice squad and backup duty before breaking out.

Fuck whoever was coach when he played at Texas.

That would be Mack Brown.  Unless you mean the O-line coach.  Hopkins was a four year starter so he had multiple position coaches, starting with McWhorter.  Him being undrafted is more on lazy risk-averse NFL scouts than on Texas.  Mack knew what he had, and after Trey’s first fall camp told anyone who would listen that he was going to be really good.

What you just stated above is reason #1 why we keep losing out on elite in-state talent.  There's a prevailing sense among the private coaching crowd that for whatever reason talent gets squandered on our campus. And kids don't reach their full potential.  And this sentiment has now been pushed across 3 different coaching regimes.
