A look at new height and weight listings of Texas' recent signees
Texas sports information released the height and weight of UT’s recent signees. Because many of them differ form what you’ll see listed on the networks I figured it would be worth sharing.
Some of these are quite recent. Brandon Baker, for example, was just on campus earlier this month. Baker, like others who visited in December, was fitted for his helmet, pads, and uniform while on his visit. This was also a good tell that Xavier Filsaime was going to flip. Not only was he fitted for everything, I believe they even registered him for his Spring classes. Sorry, not sorry, Florida.
OL Brandon Baker, 6-4, 288
Of note: We know he went to Mater Dei high school, but his listed home town is Ontario. Talk about an easy flight home, as Ontario has its own airport. Baker isn’t Flood’s preferred Circus novelty size, but he is a dancing bear at tackle.
CB Kobe Black, 6-2, 200
That’s a big dude.
WR Aaron Butler, 6-0, 175
He’s right in the athlete wheelhouse for corner/wide receiver. Of course he was signed to play receiver.
RB Christian Clark, 6-0, 195
He looks much bigger which typically means he’s going to get much bigger. I can see him playing north of 215 in a year or two.

C Daniel Cruz, 6-3, 310
That’s already a good weight. From here on out it’s all about how he carries it.
WR Freddie Dubose, 6-1, 188
Solid length for the vertical speedster.
S Xavier Filsaime, 6-1, 190
It’s meaningless, though somewhat interesting, Black is bigger. We’d like to see Filsaime up around 205 so he can start arriving with some lumber. The guide pronounces his name: FILL-sim-ee
RB Jerrick Gibson, 5-10, 215
Brick s***house. Looks like a five-year NFL vet.
WR Mathew Golden, 6-0, 190
He carries good weight. A bit stronger than you’d think.
DL Melvin Hills, 6-3, 280
This is a pretty exciting starting point for a player who will have to make a name for himself by out-physicaling his opponent.
DT Alex January, 6-5, 320
Surely he’s not this damn big. Methinks many will regret not having him as a Top 100 player.
S Jordon Johnson-Rubell, 5-10, 190
He’s one of those guys who is sort of short but not really small.
P Michael Kern, 6-3, 175
He’s all leg.
OL Nate Kibble, 6-3, 315
My favorite aspects of his tape is him pulling. To be that comfortable on the move at his college-ish size helps project him.
WR Parker Livingstone, 6-4, 187
As he becomes a year-round football player he’s going to tack on some muscle rather easily.
CB Wardell Mack, 6-0, 185
Even better length than his height would indicate.
Edge Trey Moore, 6-3, 235
That height seems optimistic.
DB Andrew Mukuba, 6-0, 195
Good size for Star.
QB Trey Owens, 6-5, 220
He might be closer to 6-6, 235.
DT D’antre Robinson, 6-2, 310
He must have upset the person taking height.
Edge Colin Simmons, 6-3, 235
He must have made friends with the person taking height/weight. It doesn’t matter. He’s a big RB playing Edge with the way he moves.
LB Tyanthony Smith, 6-1, 215
He’ll be an easy gainer and will carry 230-235 with no issue.
Edge Zina Umeozulu, 6-5, 235
Thick neck, long limbed. 265 is in his future.
TE Jordan Washington, 6-5, 225
Should be able to play snaps as a receiving threat TE as a true freshman.
CB Santana Wilson, 6-0, 180
The surest corner of the three studs Terry Joseph signed.
WR Ryan Wingo, 6-2, 205
He’ll play in the league at 225.
