Tuesday Q&A: Official visit season heating up; team moving in silence

Steve Sarkisian says five, he just picked up five commitments

Inside Texas’ weekly Q&A moved a day forward given all the action surrounding commitments. Texas has picked up five new players for the 2026 class since the first official visit weekend started.

Readers want to know, can this torrid pace keep up?

Given the politics surrounding college athletics, NIL is yet again a hot topic of discussion. Jaibo asked a couple of good, yet tough questions to answer: “Because of NIL changes, do we expect for more early (before July 1st) commitments who will eventually stick around the country? NIL speaking, what is the biggest difference from committing before/after July 1st?”

Given Kenny Baker‘s two newest additions, readers want to know what’s next for the defensive tackle room in this cycle as well as on the field. Texas should be able to return to a six-man rotation at the position, if not more depending on the situation.

The run-game, as usual, was asked about. IT has reported the staff has confidence the team will field a better run game despite so many losses on the O-line. There’s plenty of context to explain how that is so.

Is Texas really a player for five-star defensive tackle Lamar Brown from Baton Rouge. People who interacted with him felt LSU and A&M were still the teams to beat but Texas is gaining ground.

Who will lead the team in interceptions?

And so much more.
