Locked On Longhorns - Daily Podcast On Texas Longhorns Football & Basketball Locked On Podcast Network

The Texas Longhorns are a national championship contender for a variety of reasons, but the most important one is they have really good players. This was evidenced last week when @On3sports dropped its Top 100 players list and Texas had 5 players on it. #HookEm

Jeff Simonton from @On3sports ranks each position group in college football annually, starting with QB and ending with Safety. Texas finds themselves on a lot of these top 10 list this year, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Can this Texas offense reach #1 offense in the country status this season? #HookEm

On October 19th, two of if not the two best teams in college football will face off against each other in Austin, TX in front of atleast 105,000 people. Add in that both teams could be undefeated, both teams have Heisman candidates, and the fact that it's a matchup that has conference and National Championship implications, and we could be looking at a game that is talked about for decades to come #HookEm

The Texas Longhorns had 11 players drafted in this previous cycle, but only to 10 teams, as Jonathon Brooks and Jatavion Sanders are both headed to Carolina to play with Bryce Young. What can these two forever Longhorns bring to a franchise that had the worst record in the National Football League last year? #HookEm

With the spring portal window closing, Texas now sits at 82 scholarship players with a limit of 85, and players can no longer enter the portal and be eligible this season. Because of this, we can reasonably assume that what we see now is who we will be going to war with in 2024. With that being said, how would you rank each room on this football team currently? Good, Great, or Elite? #HookEm

Texas lost two huge pieces to the transfer portal in Terrance Brooks and Austin Jordan, which posed some serious questions for the depth in that room. Like Sark has done since 2021, he went out and attacked his needs in the portal at a high level, bringing in San Jose State star corner Jayvion Cole to help mitigate those losses. One of the most productive corners in the nation last season, can he duplicate that effort in Austin? #HookEm
