phughes+FollowTexas RB CJ Baxter enters transfer portalCJ Baxter, one of Texas’ most promising running backs, is leaving the Longhorns after three seasons and entering the transfer portal.

Christopher Hughes+FollowTexas RB C.J. Baxter to transfer—what’s next?C.J. Baxter, once the Big 12’s top offensive newcomer, is heading for the transfer portal after three seasons with Texas. Injuries and a crowded backfield made it tough for him to reclaim his spot, especially with rising stars like Tre Wisner and incoming blue-chip recruits. Baxter’s talent and leadership will be missed, but the Longhorns’ running back room remains stacked. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can change in college football—sometimes, even top recruits have to move on for a fresh start. Where do you think Baxter will land, and how will Texas adjust? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Aaron Taylor+FollowTexas QB Trey Owens hits transfer portalTexas football fans, here’s a shakeup: redshirt-freshman quarterback Trey Owens is entering the transfer portal. Owens, a former four-star recruit from Cy-Fair, barely saw the field this season but still has three years of eligibility and a big-arm reputation from high school. With Arch Manning and Matthew Caldwell still on the roster—and a five-star recruit on the way—Texas isn’t in crisis mode, but Owens’ move could make waves for programs hunting a pro-style QB. Which Texas or Power Five school do you think will land him? Would you have liked to see him get a shot in Austin? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share

glen25+FollowTexas left out of Playoff, faces Michigan in Citrus BowlTexas fans are feeling the sting after the Longhorns were left out of the College Football Playoff, despite a season that started with sky-high hopes and Heisman buzz for Arch Manning. Instead, Texas is headed to the Citrus Bowl to face Michigan—a matchup that’s exciting but not what anyone in Austin was dreaming of. The early loss to Ohio State and a couple more stumbles proved costly. Do you think Texas should avoid big non-conference games in the future, or is this just part of the game?

John Camacho+FollowTexas football star’s respect wins the nightAfter a heated playoff game where DeSoto topped Willis, most players skipped the traditional handshake—tensions were just that high. But Jermaine Bishop Jr., Willis’ standout and a top national recruit, crossed the field to congratulate the victors anyway. Even when a DeSoto player tried to ruin the moment, Bishop’s sportsmanship stood out, and the Eagles’ coaches quickly shut down the trash talk. In a sport where drama often overshadows character, Bishop’s move was a reminder of what really matters. What do you think—should more athletes make gestures like this, even after tough losses? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Amy Williams+FollowTexas football’s brutal schedule sparks playoff debateTexas faced the toughest schedule of any playoff contender this season, taking on five top-12 teams—most of them away from home. Despite finishing 9-3, the Longhorns’ record doesn’t tell the whole story. If you swapped their schedule with teams like Notre Dame or Vanderbilt, Texas would likely be in the Playoff conversation, maybe even with a bye. The current system seems to punish teams for scheduling tough opponents, leaving almost no room for error. Should the committee focus more on who teams play, not just how many games they win? Let’s talk about what really makes a team ‘deserving’ of a playoff spot. #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
