Show Notes
Bobby Burton, Jordan Scruggs and Hank South break down Texas’ commitment from 2027 linebacker R.J. Hudson, a former Clemson pledge from Varina High School in Richmond, Virginia. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound defender recorded 13 sacks as a junior and possesses exceptional verified athleticism, including a 10.94-second 100-meter time and multiple collegiate track offers.
Hudson currently plays primarily off the edge but projects as an off-ball linebacker in Will Muschamp’s defense, where his speed and versatility could become major weapons. The crew explains why his transition may resemble Kosi Okpala’s, how he can contribute immediately on special teams and what his commitment reveals about the different defensive traits Muschamp is prioritizing on the recruiting trail.

BREAKING: Trevor Goosby Tears Patella Tendon, Out For Season
Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Marcus Myers respond to Texas fans following the Longhorns’ chaotic 34–27 victory over Ole Miss. Callers celebrate a season-saving win while questioning whether repeated special-teams breakdowns, penalties and wild swings in performance will eventually catch up with Texas. After building a 24–3 halftime lead, the Longhorns nearly let the game slip away before finding a way to finish.
Jeff Howe, Marcus Myers and Coach Bob Shipley examine whether Texas finally discovered a sustainable offensive identity in its 34–27 win over Ole Miss. The Longhorns rushed for 207 yards, leaned on Raleek Brown’s career-best 157-yard performance and used perimeter throws to create opportunities downfield. Arch Manning remained imperfect, but his renewed confidence, mobility and competitiveness gave the entire offense new energy.
