Texas Passing Game 2025 - Personnel & Production - Jaggy McJaggerson FTW?

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

The Texas offense of 2024 produced 357 receptions across 16 games for 4,460 yards and 40 TDs. 12.5 YPC is middling (45th) and 279 YPG is solid (14th). 

Here are the individual receiving stats from last year (Receptions/Yards/YPR/TDs):

1) Gunnar Helm - 60/786/13.1/7

2) Matthew Golden - 58/987/17.0/9

3) Tre Wisner - 44/311/7.1/1

4) Jaydon Blue - 42/368/8.8/6

5) DeAndre Moore - 39/456/11.7/7

6) Isaiah Bond - 34/540/15.9/5

7) Ryan Wingo - 29/472/16.3/2

8 ) Silas Bolden - 23/267/11.3/1

9) Juan Davis - 9/54/6.0/0

10) Johntay Cook - 8/137/17.1/2

11) Amari Niblack - 5/33/6.6/0

12) Jerrick Gibson - 3/25/8.3/0

13) Ryan Niblett - 3/24/8.0/0

Bold is returning. 118 catches/1,288 yards/10.9/10. 

We know Sarkisian loves to throw to backs and TEs as part of the passing game. We know that last year wasn't the best showing for a receiving corps under Sarkisian. We know that many here believe that the passing game this year, with Manning at the helm, will be more productive than last season. 

So, put some numbers to it. All of the shittalkers about Jaggy McJaggerson having a big year can now let the rest of us know what they really believe. I've listed the eligible WRs, TEs, and TBs on the roster for 2025 below, with my thoughts on production. 

QB - I'm betting on 17 games, 5,200 yards and 45 TDs for the QB room. That's all divvied up below. 

WR:

-DeAndre Moore - 48/570/11.9/5

-Ryan Wingo - 60/1,200/20.0/11

-Emmett Mosley - 40/550/13.8/6

-Jaggy McJaggerson - 9/145/16.1/1

-Kaliq Lockett - 24/460/19.2/4

-Daylan McCutcheon - 14/210/15.0/1

-Jamie Ffrench - 20/350/17.5/4

-Michael Terry - 0/0/0/0

-Aaron Butler - 0/0/0/0

-Ryan Niblett - 0/0/0/0

215/3,485/6.2/32

TE:

-Jack Endries - 50/600/12.0/6

-Jordan Washington - 14/195/13.9/1

-Spencer Shannon - 0/0/0/0

-Will Randle - 0/0/0/0

-Emaree Winston - 5/55/11.0/0

-Nick Townsend - 8/120/15.0/1

77/970/12.6/8

RB:

-Tre Wisner - 37/333/9.0//2

-Cedric Baxter - 20/240/12.0/2

-Jerrick Gibson - 13/91/7.0/0

-Christian Clark - 9/81/9.0/1

-James Simon - 0/0/0/0

-Rickey Stewart - 0/0/0/0

79/745/9.4/5

I see a big year for Wingo and diminishing snaps as the seasons wears on for Moore due to drops and the freshmen gaining traction. RBs are going to be occasionally banged up, so plenty of touches for the top 4. Maybe the freshmen TEs also show flashes while the Endries fella is a very good. I expect almost nothing from Terry as a freshman, and Butler will remain in the doghouse while Niblett continues to have one foot out the door. 

Anyone else want to take a shot at the numbers or offer their thoughts?

or garbage time in the SEC championship?

How do y'all not like this guy?

Especially if he blocks downfield and makes a few clutch catches to move the chains. Maybe he'll grow into a TE?

I’m not gonna sit here idly and listen to you besmirch the good name of the legendary bastard son of Alan Jackson.  Herb Kelleher himself would be rotating in his grave if I let this insult go unchecked!  Tell me, how can it be possible that the illegitimate son of the great Alan Jackson, who inspired the smash hit “Remember When” (allegedly), could be destined for anything other than greatness.

You underestimate the spawn of AJ’s infidelity at your own peril, sir.

I’m upping the stakes.  
 

Parker McStud 1000+ and 12 TD’s…with alacrity.

-The freshman receivers combining for 58 catches and 9 touchdowns feels a little aggressive. Maybe one of them ends up with 20 or more catches, but I have a tough time seeing two. I'd probably take away some of their catches and yards and add them to Mosley. 

-Moore's catches and yards seem about right, but I think he has more touchdowns (7 last year on 39 catches)

-Can we get Will Randle a catch against UTEP for being Arch's friend? Maybe McJaggerson can hit him on a trick play pass?

Goose eggs for Niblett is interesting. Are they just not going to play him? We don't really have anyone else in that K Robinson/Blue role.

The thing about Lockett and Ffrench is, if you're going to pay what Texas is paying to land them on the roster, you're not going to let those assets collect dust and then hit the portal. They're being paid like starters because the staff thinks they're going to be starters, ultimately. I expect them to get plenty of touches against weak opponents and in garbage time, and then at least one will get serious action as time goes by or as injuries occur, or both.

I'm personally not a big fan of Moore. He had too many whiffs or drops last year and then he held a gun to the program's head late in the December portal. Maybe he has a great year, but I'm fine if he doesn't.

My view is that, if they really valued Niblett in that role, he wouldn't have been worked in the secondary during the spring. It's not like depth was an issue at Star or Safety. I don't expect him to play much outside of special teams.

My prediction is that this is a contract year for him and he'll have more catches than Wingo.  

I'll also take the over on 371 team receptions.   It's kind of hard to gauge how much time the 2nd string (or worse) will get, difference in play styles (Arch is more likely to tuck and run, Quinn incurring negative plays often enough to force obvious passing downs), schedule, etc., but Arch with Quinn's snaps plus his own prorate to 376.  

If Arch is so good, why didn't he account for more of those QB yards last year, huh? Huh?!?!?

Love the post. If Wingo pops, this year is going to be so much fun. I feel like Mosley is going to be a pain in the ass for other teams when you have to account for all the others. His tape was impressive for a freshman.

Great post.  I'm not going to go player by player and offer a projection, but using your projections as a baseline, I'll offer a few thoughts.

- I like the yards and TD's for Wingo, but I think he'll average more than 4 catches a game.  Put me down for 80ish.  Wingo is gonna be lethal on downfield crossing patterns.

- I think more highly of Moore.  He does have a tendency to get banged up and did have drop issues last year.  He's also one of the best culture guys, works inside and outside, doesn't take plays off, and has good rapport with Arch.  I think he and Wingo complement each other well and will have less of a gap between their numbers.

- I'm a believer in Livingstone.  I think he and Mosely will actually be fairly close in numbers by the end of the season.  This takes into consideration Trey Owens getting backup reps, as I think Owens will find Livingstone.

- I like McCutcheon most of the freshmen.  His all around game will get him on the field more.  I like Ffrench, and I'd fade Lockett in your projections.

- I don't have many thoughts about TE.  Endries will be awesome.  The freshmen are freshmen.  Hopefully Washington is a quality 2nd TE.

- I'm fading the RB numbers as a whole.  I know Sark likes using them, and I expect them to continue to be part of the offense.  I also think Ewers reflexively dumped the ball to RB's, to the detriment of the offense.  Arch is more downfield oriented and Sark will adjust the offense accordingly.  This will, of course, open up space for RB passes and Sark will scheme them up.  But in the aggregate, I expect RB numbers to go down.  There is no Keilan Robinson or Jaydon Blue type high end speed receiving back this year.

Jaggy Biletnikoff - 2000 yards

Point of order: All good passing games involve the backs.

Don’t have the same background you do on Moore but very hopeful that he takes a major step forward this year….

CTJ hates white people. He once burned a Bucc ees beaver in effigy in front of my house. Spray painted "chalky go home" on the garage, which didn't make sense because i was home. Put a hate letter in the mailbox addressed to "milky." He refers to a group of 3 or more Caucasians as "Idaho." Urinated on Jason Sehorn's front porch in front of Angie Harmon.

1. Wingo will lead the team in Touchdown receptions. 
 

2. Moore will lead in yards and catches. 
 

3. Stanford kid and Parker will have around the same numbers. 20-25 catches with 4 TD

4. If CB4 gets truly healthy they catches and touchdowns for the RB jump. He has the best hands of all the running backs.

5. Cal kid - 8 Touchdowns

Wisner had a thousand yards last year by running for only what his blocking provided -- never really creating any plays beyond that. He'll be better this year but who knows by how much. If he gets 190 carries this season he'll hit a thousand again. But it doesn't feel like we have anyone in the backfield who can bust something wide open, like what Blue did against Clemson. And that kind of sucks.

Yeah, I witnessed that. I'm just not convinced he's an elite back. He averaged less than 3 yds a carry in 3 of 4 of the last games. Those are good defenses. But he was pointless in those games. And lots of people ran well against Clemson. Last year he was generally as good as the blocking provided. If you want to luxuriate in your sunshine enema on the guy, great.

Who said he needs to be elite?  He's a good enough lead back for a Title Contender and he proved that last year.

Especially after Ewers came back from injury and we basically had to ride the ground and pound with Wisner to salt away games late.

The fact that you think he only runs if's blocks was a silly take, and seeing the evidence it was and doubling down is even sillier.

If the only two options are elite or never gain a yard that wasn’t blocked - then someone explain Kevin Costner’s career to me.

I like him. I think he's a tough player. But his presence was completely meaningless in 3 of the last 4 games of the season. He dropped at the slightest contact in those games. If you're so easily persuaded by highlight compilations, go watch any of his carries against ASU, Georgia or OSU. He's a serviceable back. Not elite. He won't be the lead running back by the end of the season.

It's going to be interesting to watch. What's the carry breakdown against OSU going to look like? We might have four guys all in the 6-12 range. Completely dependent on Baxter's health, and whatever Clark is going to look like. And if Gibson has learned how to hold onto the ball and pass block.

Maybe ctj will be nice enough to do up one of these for our rushing game.

I'm not going to claim that Wisner is an elite back.  I do not believe he is.  But you are too harsh in your assessment of him, and focusing on the last 4 games of the season is foolish.  Say what you want about the guy, but he answered the bell when he needed to.  He also kept his mouth shut, didn't complain, didn't make excuses, and did everything his body would let him do.  At the time Blue had a hurt ankle and Gibson apparently insisted on greasing the football between the snap and the handoff.  Wisner didn't have the luxury of healing because the team needed his steady, albeit diminished, presence.  To use those games as a measuring stick of his ability is absolutely ridiculous if your goal is an honest assessment.

This team's ceiling is with a healthy Baxter.  Heck, Gibson or Clark may even prove to be a more dynamic runner as a backup this year.  But there is no need to minimize Wisner's abilities or contributions to last year's team.

He won't be the lead running back by the end of the season. 

Did you not see the highlights against Georgia in the SEC Championship? If he got yards, it was because of his effort, and in spite of his OL getting destroyed. The dude will play on Sundays.

The last four games are the actual do-or-die ones. Lose to tOSU in August, not the end of the world, but lose to anyone those last four, and you go home.

Arch is going to have 1 reception this season.

Why only one? Pitch back early to the trailing RB/WR, run by the defenders and be wide open ten yards down field... Twice a game, minimum 15-16 games, gotta be looking at 30 receptions easily.

I'm not going to claim that Wisner is an elite back.  I do not believe he is.  But you are too harsh in your assessment of him, and focusing on the last 4 games of the season is foolish.  Say what you want about the guy, but he answered the bell when he needed to.  He also kept his mouth shut, didn't complain, didn't make excuses, and did everything his body would let him do.  At the time Blue had a hurt ankle and Gibson apparently insisted on greasing the football between the snap and the handoff.  Wisner didn't have the luxury of healing because the team needed his steady, albeit diminished, presence.  To use those games as a measuring stick of his ability is absolutely ridiculous if your goal is an honest assessment.

This team's ceiling is with a healthy Baxter.  Heck, Gibson or Clark may even prove to be a more dynamic runner as a backup this year.  But there is no need to minimize Wisner's abilities or contributions to last year's team.

Not trying to be harsh. I like the guy and have heard he's a great teammate. I'm not bashing the dude. There's a huge gap between him and the other backs Texas has been fortunate enough to see in the last 4 or 5 seasons. I don't believe he's that dangerous back that requires attention every down. It's not an insult to say a running back isn't Bijan or Brooks. It's not an insult to tell Manu Ginobili "you weren't Kobe." Dab some salve on chili dog's labia and we'll get back to the passing game.
