Sterns and Thompson got released, so they’re probably about to have new new homes.

Other Longhorn roster cuts I saw while skimming the full list:
Malik Jefferson
D’onta Foreman
Collin Johnson
LJ Humphrey
Ovie Oghuofo

Others
Keaontay Ingram
Adrian Colbert
Zach Gentry (lol)
Willie Tyler
Ochaun Mathis
Zach Evans
Drake Stoops

Jordan Whittington, Jaylan Ford, Sam Ehlinger, and Moro Ojomo all made their respective rosters.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian was proud to see 11 Longhorns get drafted last April. They all stuck, too. The active 53-man rosters were finalized earlier this week, and all 11 who were drafted made it through training camp with their teams. Jonathan Brooks and Ryan Watts were put on injured reserve, and Christian Jones and Keilan Robinson got dinged up. But all in all, the Longhorns will have a strong rookie class when the season begins.

Nice to see guys like Boyd, Locke, LJH and Roach hanging in the league.   

And to see that Li'l Jordan is still in the league after five years.  He's got his pension sewed up. I realize it's not much, but it certainly helps.

Guess this is best thread for this...

A program-record 12 Texas Longhorns were taken in the 2025 NFL draft, breaking a previous program record of 11.

Of those, one late-round pick is trying to prove he could be a major steal.

Offensive tackle Cameron Williams was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 31st pick in the sixth round of the draft. Williams, who was once considered to be capable of being as high as a first-round pick, saw his draft stock slip later in the season, leading to his late selection by the defending Super Bowl champions.

Standing at 6-foot-6 and 317 pounds with hands that measure over 11 inches, Williams is a physical specimen. In 2024, he was named the full-time starter at right tackle with the Longhorns for the first time in his career allowing five sacks, three hits, and 18 hurries in 15 games according to Pro Football Focus. Despite his impressive physicality, scouts had questions about his technique going into the draft.

"Williams’ blend of desirable physical traits but subpar bend and foot quickness make him a tougher pro projection," Williams' NFL combine profile said. "The technique will likely need a full year of work to help mitigate the aforementioned deficiencies and allow his traits to speak more loudly."

While a prime example of the physicality necessary to make it in the NFL, Williams was seen as a question mark for NFL teams. This lead to his drop to the sixth round, despite combine projections placing him as a pick in the fourth round.

On a scale of eight, Williams was awarded a draft grade of 6.14, labeling him as a good backup with the potential to develop into a starter. With a coaching staff that has a history of developing impressive offensive lines in Philadelphia, Williams may have found the near-perfect place to reach his potential.

“Rare size-length component at play, so you have to give him the benefit of the doubt with more experience," an NFC area scout said.

Williams recently participated in Philadelphia's rookie minicamp where he was seen taking reps at right tackle. Currently at the top of the depth chart at right tackle for the Eagles is NFL veteran, and two-time All-Pro, Lane Johnson.

Johnson is the longest-tenured player under contract on the Eagles and recently signed a one-year extension through 2027. Williams now has the opportunity to learn from one of the best in the NFL.

The Eagles will open up the 2025 season at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.

we had 17 guys drafted in 1984, so i’m not sure why they’re claiming that 12 is a program record.

Probably because there was 12 rounds.

12 rounds vs 7

yes i’m aware that there were more rounds in 1984, but that doesn’t change the fact that 17 is still > 12.

My uncle was drafted in the 16th round of the freaking NBA draft in 1972.  More than half the teams passed on their picks that late if you look at the history.  Only 5 teams used their pick that round.  In case you were wondering, he never even went to training camp.
