  3. Nice progress report on transfers from Bobby Burton: Now that the team has finished six days of practice, there are a few questions we can answer with a little more definitiveness (based on both what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard). Here’s one of the biggest ones I had going into camp: What role will each of the portal transfers play for the team in 2025? ** QB Matthew Caldwell - Caldwell is a little better than perhaps what the Texas personnel and coaching staff expected. Not from a talent standpoint, but from a leadership and professionalism one. He takes every snap seriously, and pays attention to the details. He is the odds-on favorite to be the team’s back-up heading into Columbus. WR Emmett Mosley V - He was expected to be a starter when he was brought to Texas and that remains the expectation after six practices. With Ryan Wingo and Parker Livingstone, Mosley adds another good-sized receiver that is both faster and quicker than you might expect. The o/u for number of receptions is 45 this season IMO with 5 TDs. Note: he could be a key third-down receiver for Arch Manning. TE Jack Endries - Unsurprisingly, six days into practice, Endries is running with the first unit. Endries has been perhaps more athletic, often able to leave his feet for catches, than first thought, while he may not be as explosive as or have the catch radius of a Gunnar Helm. Similar to Mosley, Endries will undoubtedly be a key piece of the offense. O/u on receptions is 57. DT Maraad Watson - When I say that folks inside the building are extremely high on Watson, there are no two ways about it. Watson is seen as a real steal. He is expected to be a rotational starter and has opened eyes all camp long. He is a very good athlete for his size. I’m not sure Texas would trade the tandem of Watson and Alex January with any sophomore duo in the country. DT Travis Shaw - The combo of Shaw and Watson is almost unheard of in the portal. Texas got an elite younger player in Watson and a more seasoned bigger player in Shaw. A former five star, this is Shaw’s contract year and he’s treating it as such. Texas thinks getting his knee scoped and holding him out of spring ball is just what the doctor ordered. He will be a rotational starter and has a chance to be a higher draft pick than one might think. DT Cole Brevard - Run-stopper up the middle. Brevard has been a pleasant surprise, in large part because of his work ethic. He has not stopped working since he got to campus. Expect 25-35 snaps per game later in the year, perhaps less early in the September heat. DT Hero Kanu - Kanu is a well-rounded player who lacks an elite aspect to his game. He’s not super big, and he’s not super quick. Yet he is solid and will likely see 15-25 snaps per game. The plan is to rotate the DTs heavily, especially early in the year when the heat can be so debilitating. DT Lavon Johnson - Johnson has been a sneakily good player at times during camp. Held out early because of a sprained ankle, Johnson shows good ability against the run and surprising quickness at times. Somewhat similar to Kanu, we expect 15-20 snaps per game. Edge/LB Brad Spence - Ask any player on the Texas roster who the most physically impressive player is and, despite his smaller overall size, you’re sure to get many of them who will say Spence. As one player said, β€œhe’s rocked up.” Texas will be using him primarily as a pass rusher in 2025. And he could be a surprisingly huge asset in that regard. O/u on sacks is 8. K Mason Shipley - Shipley, the Liberty Hill product and Texas State transfer, is very likely your starting kicker. I say likely only because final decisions usually aren’t made until there’s a final competition for the job during scrimmage situations. But there has been nothing from camp to lead anyone to believe he won’t win the job. P Jack Bouwmeester - If I had to bet on one portal transfer earning an all-conference nod, it would be Bouwmeester. O/u 45 yards per punt. ** The portal class was definitely underrated by national folks. But if there is one piece that is lacking, it might be that true, older first-round level pick. Someone like Matthew Golden last year or Adonai Mitchell the year before. Travis Shaw has an outside chance to be that. Endries, though very good, is unlikely to be drafted that highly. However, Texas certainly seems to have hit paydirt with Watson, Mosley and Spence among the younger players with multiple years of eligibility remaining. And Bouwmeester could be a real difference maker as well

  15. Bhatia finishes in a flurry What a round from the lengthy left hander! Akshay Bhatia connects on 10 fairways and 15 greens in regulation and finishes his first round in a flurry to take a possible two-stroke lead into the second round. Bhatia finished 3-3-3 playing his final three holes in a 4-under fashion to surge past the rest of the leading pack with his 8-under 62. Patrick McDonald Different opinion on Spiethcoaster from mine: Spieth, Clark make move to solidify spots inside top 50 Both Jordan Spieth and Wyndham Clark found red figures early Thursday morning and have done some work to make sure their names are in the field for next week's BMW Championship. Clark carded just one bogey β€” on the par-5 16th β€” and continued to strike the ball well en route to a 3-under 67. Meanwhile, Spieth drove it great and was solid on the greens. His iron play may need to improve if he is to improve on his 69. Patrick McDonald
