The episode of Inside the Program presented by Academy Sports and Outdoors offers an in-depth update on the Texas Longhorns football team as they prepare for their upcoming SEC matchup against Florida during their bye week. Hosts Joe Cook and Eric Nahlin cover key developments in Texas’ wide receiver, running back, and defensive line units, highlighting injury updates, player progress, and strategic adjustments.

A significant focus is given to the return of wide receiver Emmett Mosley from injury, whose presence is expected to bolster the offense alongside DeAndre Moore and Daylan McCutcheon. Running back Tre Wisner is expected to return soon, potentially reshaping the backfield, while CJ Baxter’s status remains uncertain.

On defense, the return of defensive tackle Alex January is crucial as Texas braces for Florida’s physical 12-personnel offense. The conversation also addresses Texas’ depth on the defensive line and linebacker corps, emphasizing their potential to counter SEC offenses. Moreover, the hosts spotlight Florida’s key running back, Jadan Baugh, and Texas’ efforts to replicate him on scout team through Michael Terry, a promising player carving out a role with his strength and speed.

Lastly, Ryan Niblett’s increased role as a dynamic offensive weapon is analyzed, reflecting the coaching staff’s efforts to inject explosiveness into the offense.
