  2. Texas football: Ranking transfers on immediate impact in 2025 Thomas Jones, Austin American-Statesman July 25, 2025 Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian always describes his program’s use of the transfer portal the same way: We’ll never rely on it, Sarkisian says, but we will always use the portal to plug any gaps in the roster. The 2025 transfer class reflects that approach. Texas signed 11 players in the portal, which is the fourth-fewest in the SEC behind Tennessee (seven), Florida (seven) and Georgia (10) and well behind the conference leader in Mississippi State (34). From the defensive line to special teams, the newest Longhorns transfers seem to fill some needs. But which of the newcomers will be needed the most for a Texas team that has reached two consecutive College Football Playoff semifinals? Let’s rank the 11 players based on their projected importance to the 2025 Longhorns. Star rankings are based on 247Sports' transfer rankings. 1. TE Jack Endries, California, 4 stars The tight end plays a pivotal role in Sarkisian’s pro-style offense, as evidenced by the combined 105 receptions from Gunnar Helm in 2024 and Ja’Tavion Sanders in 2023. Texas entered the offseason without a single tight end on the roster that had a catch last season, but the 6-foot-4, 245-pound Endries arrives as an immediate starter and perhaps the most pro-ready receiving tight end in the nation after hauling in 91 catches over the past two seasons for Cal. 2. DT Cole Brevard, Purdue, 4 stars Transfers and graduation decimated the Texas defensive front, especially in the interior. Sarkisian and his staff responded by signing five defensive tackles, and none bring more bona fides than the 6-3, 345-pound Brevard. The senior played in 37 games with 23 starts for the Boilermakers and projects as an instant starter inside for a group of tackles short on experience. 3. P Jack Bouwmeester, Utah, 3 stars Last year’s experiment with freshman Michael Kern didn’t work. The blue-chip recruit ranked 15th in the SEC among starting punters in yards per punt, which prompted the Texas staff to replace the youngster with a veteran Australian who played in all 39 games for Utah the past three seasons. An All-Big 12 punter a year ago, Bouwmeester steps in as the unquestioned starter as a position of need. 4. DT Maraad Watson, Syracuse, 4-stars Based on the scuttlebutt around the program, the 6-foot-3, 313-pound sophomore has separated himself a bit from the pack in the defensive interior and could start alongside Brevard. He started all 11 games for the Orange a year ago while earning some freshman all-American honors, and his level of play seems to have risen to match the competition at Texas. 5. WR Emmett Mosley V, Stanford, 3 stars The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Mosley quietly led all ACC freshmen with 48 catches a year ago and will likely grab a spot in the regular rotation among a receivers group with plenty of talent but lots of inexperience. DeAndre Moore Jr. returns as a reliable starter and former five-star recruit Ryan Wingo flashed his potential on 29 catches in 2024. No other returning receiver had a reception. 6. QB Matthew Caldwell, Troy, 3 stars Nothing against Caldwell, but Texas fans don’t want to see the senior aside from some mop-up duty. If starter Arch Manning does miss time, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Caldwell is the only backup with starting experience and seems most ready to step in under center. In fact, Caldwell has 485 career pass attempts, which is 484 more than UT redshirt freshman Trey Owens, the only other quarterback on the roster with collegiate experience. 7. LB Brad Spence, Arkansas, 3 stars The junior served as a rotational player for the Razorbacks over the past two seasons while appearing in 23 games with five starts. Expect a similar role with the Longhorns, especially after the Texas staff moved edge Trey Moore to outside linebacker to play alongside star inside linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. Returning starter Liona Lefaua also returns, which likely means select snaps for the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Spence. 8. DT Travis Shaw, North Carolina, 4 stars A former five-star prospect out of high school, the 6-foot-5, 342-pound Shaw never lived up to his recruiting hype while playing in 37 career games in three seasons at North Carolina. If the Texas coaches can unlock the senior’s potential, he could challenge for regular snaps in a potentially deep tackle room. 9. K Mason Shipley, Texas State, no stars An All-Sun Belt kicker in two seasons at Texas State, the Liberty Hill native steps in as the likely starter for Bert Auburn, the Longhorns’ all-time leader in field goals who transferred to Miami after an up-and-down 2024. Shipley, a fifth-year senior, made 31 of 35 field-goal attempts in San Marcos over the past two seasons, He does have some competition from fellow Austin-area product Will Stone (Regents), who has spent his previous three years with Texas as a kickoff specialist. 10. DT Hero Kanu, Ohio State, 4 stars A 6-foot-5, 300-pound senior, the native of Germany appeared in 30 games over the previous three seasons with Ohio State but never received steady snaps. He’ll likely provide depth behind Brevard, Watson and returner Alex January while contending with Shaw and Lavon Johnson for rotational snaps. 11. DT Lavon Johnson, Maryland, 3 stars Like Kanu, the 6-foot-2, 310-pound Johnson will try to earn snaps in the defensive rotation. The junior has battled some inconsistency and injuries in two seasons with the Terrapins, but did play well down the stretch of 2024.

  5. Michigan HC Sherrone Moore gives criteria for naming starting QB By Andrew Kulha | Jul 24, 2025 Most seem to expect that former No. 1 overall recruit and true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood is going to be the starter for the Michigan Wolverines in 2025, but head coach Sherrone Moore is still not ready to make that decision. In fact, at Big Ten Media Days, Moore was clear that a starting quarterback has not yet been named for the Wolverines. "Before anyone asks, it’s an open competition,” Moore told the media. Underwood has superstar potential, but, as mentioned, is a true freshman. Yes, he was a star at the high school level, but that doesn't necessarily mean that will all translate once the hits are for real at the college level, especially in the stacked Big Ten. That's why Michigan went out and brought in two transfer quarterbacks this offseason in former East Carolina quarterback Jake Garcia and former Fresno State quarterback Mikey Keene. They, as well, have never played Big Ten football and they'll never be confused for superstars in Ann Arbor, but they've at least thrown a touchdown at the college level. Ultimately, talent is not going to be the final determining factor for Moore — at least here in fall camp. It comes down to leadership for him. "There is no starter. When they ‘have the team’ we’ll know we have our starter," Moore said. If it comes down to pure talent alone, Underwood will likely be under center when the Wolverines open the season against New Mexico on Aug. 30. It is tough for a freshman quarterback to lead a football team, though, so it will be interesting to see which way Moore and his staff decide to go.

Michigan and Western Michigan will open the 2026 season on Saturday, Aug. 29, in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany, sources told On3. The game will be held at Deutsche Bank Park, a 55,000-seat retractable roof soccer stadium that has hosted five NFL games.

  9. Had classes w/William Graham at UT. He was quiet and a cool guy! 🤘 William Graham played defensive back for the Texas Longhorns from 1979 to 1981. In 11 games in 1980, he recorded four interceptions. In 11 games in 1981, he recorded seven more, tying the school record, leading the Southwest Conference and tied for third in the nation. His 11 career interceptions were fourth all-time at Texas. He played for the Detroit Lions for six years. Below picture courtesy of @Longboard Horn William Graham. His INT at the 1 yard line saved the 1982 Cotton Bowl win vs Bama. Interception by William Graham at 1:00.30 mark
