The only surprising one there is Kitan Crawford. I thought he was going pro as a special teams guy?

This is interesting, it says he's a Walk-on... was he taking a scholarship? I didn't know walk-ons had to delcare.

I thought he did pretty well for us at CB this year tbh. UW beat him with some insane throws/catches but Watts was a starter all year for a reason. Not sure why we'd show him the door at CB unless he wants too much money.

The big issue with Watts is he's always banged up.

He could still go pro like Cam Ward. Why not field offers from other schools at the same time, keep your options open

Probably just to get him some interest from lesser schools. The announcement that is

IT’s Joe Cook on Charles Wright:

Wright was one of the indispensable play-signalers during the 2023 season…”

II think we can find another guy to wear a fishnet tank top.

Good luck, Charles. Grab some PT, you’ll always have your UT degree and all those connections.

I thought he did pretty well. Obviously he held down the starting position this year. My comment was more towards his optimal position at the next level.

Walk-ons enter the transfer portal like everyone else.  That’s why the total numbers for the portal are inflated - they include walk-ons.

The reason was a lack of talent at the position. Went 1/4 at DB in 2022, then brought in some good guys in 2023. All but Muhammad needed time to bake. 2024 has guys like Black, Wilson, and Mack who are all pretty talented. Black will play some this year, and could take over for/keep rotating with Brooks in 2025.

We had Watts playing out of necessity, now things have changed. He's solid, but we can do better at that position. 

Would have been interesting to see how he looked at safety with a full offseason of development, but if he's not interested then that's too bad.

The big thing with Watts is he was injured against most of the good passing offenses this year. 

Didn't play vs OU (#6 passing offense), didn't play vs Oklahoma State (#25 passing offense), and didn't play vs Kansas (#54 passing offense). Beyond availability, the reason he looked good for the most part is because he was never available against the good teams.

W Def seemed to target whoever he was guarding with zero fucks all game

It’s always interesting what the motivation is of a third/fourth string QB. Isn’t Wright a local guy?

He got his degree already. So go transfer to Sam Houston State or whatever and enjoy the football aspect for a year.

Yes - Austin High.  I expect he'll go somewhere close, at a lower level, where he may have a chance to compete for a starting spot.

Sam Houston would welcome him with 'Arms Wide Open'.

Or go be a backup somewhere and get a grad degree? That’s not the worst idea if that option is available to him. 

He’s gonna leave Texas to be successor to TJ Finley at Texas State, and letting his parents down.

For all of Watts faults - mostly a lack of speed - he was the best run defender at the position and he was more than willing to scrape paint on his helmet (which makes his unwillingness to try safety all the more puzzling).

How's the Huntsville Prison NIL program?

Yeah, but I think that's partly why he was always banged up. Dude is made of glass. 

Which is why he likely just wants to be a cover corner and avoid contact.

I have no problem with Watts at corner. It’s our safety combo of Taffe and Thompson that has to be upgraded. That’s with all due respect to the former walk on and not with respect to Thompson who couldn’t even show effort in a fucking playoff game.

Where did this narrative of him being hurt all the time come from? This is literally the only year where he's missed games due to injury.

Played in 11/14 (10/14 if you remove Tech) and 13/13 last year.

Watts had about as good a coverage as one can have on the receptions I’m thinking of. It was just minor details that kept them from being exceptional. One being the superstar Penis QB.

Watts didn't miss any games last year but he was constantly banged up in games where he would have to come out for series.

Does that mean Sates is a soft commitment to Tenn? I always thought the talk about Tex pursuing Staes after Sanders makes his decision was weird becuz he already committed to another program.

Here’s a shift, Ryan Watts will not be returning to the program.

We’re unsure if he’s going to enter the the portal or go the professional route.

Bullets are flying fast, ITers.

Thank God Sark learned the concept of "Churning the Roster" every year from his NFL experience (& I guess from Saban too) becuz him & the staff are definitely making tough decisions after every season & aspring ball.

Damn bro, you're such a beating. It's like explaining recruiting to my 7 yr old nephew, every damn day.

It's not that hard to put two and two together. Yes, he's a soft-commit if he's talking to other schools.

A lot will need to change for Kirkland to stick. I think the others are well-liked, with some maturity issues for one of them, but if another school is willing to offer significant money to any of this group, it is highly unlikely that Texas can match. Folks really like Goosby and Chatman, I believe.

 

Bobby Burton OL comments last Sunday:

Trevor Goosby and Jaydon Chatman are fighting to backup Banks at LT right now.  Chatman may also be able to play on the interior.  Kirkland has been injured a bit this year and fallen behind Goosby, Chatman, and Stroh.

Kirkland and Andre Cojoe are a little behind right now...

Yeah, but Neyor was an in-state kid coming back home + reportedly Tex NIL-whipped him from Tenn.

So they are definitely going to target some more DB’s in the portal?  I’d say depth is pretty thin now not including the incoming freshman.  

Looch could see *8* more in the portal for a total of 18 portal players.

 

Lulz. 

Suck it, Freeze.

Call ... someone else.

 

 

 

 

 
This coming from someone who played the position at the highest level aaand has access to practices the media may not. I don't think this is Looch style sunshine pumping.

I’m guessing Malik Muhammad has passed him up at CB and so has Brooks.

From what I see Brooks is damn good but Muhammad is a straight up badass dude is special.
