In a change-up from the typical format, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and several Longhorn football players will be featured on Day 1. As is typical, Texas will be one of the last teams featured on the big stage.
Festivities on Wednesday will begin at 12 p.m. with comments from commissioner Brett Yormark. Coaches press conferences will follow beginning with TCU, then Houston, Kansas, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas, and BYU. Sarkisian is set to take the big stage at 3:25 p.m. Central.
Yormark’s time on stage, and the time each head coach spends at the dais, will be aired on ESPN+ and Longhorn Network. Breakout sessions will not be aired on any medium.
Inside Texas will have live, up-to-the-minute coverage of both days. On Texas Football will be present with video coverage, too.
Sarkisian will be joined in Arlington by Quinn Ewers, Xavier Worthy, Jordan Whittington, Jahdae Barron, and Jaylan Ford.
Sarkisian is entering his third season as head coach of the Longhorns. He has a 13-12 record as UT head coach and a 59-47 overall record from his time leading Washington, USC, and Texas.

Ewers, a 6-foot-2, 204-pound transfer from Ohio State, is entering his second year in the program. He started 10 games last year, completing 172-of-296 passes for 2177 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He won six games as a starter and exited 2023 spring drills as the starting quarterback for the Longhorns.
Worthy, a two-time All-Big 12 selection, led Texas in all three major receiving categories last season. He is third all-time in Texas history in touchdown receptions with 21. Worthy has played and started in all 25 games during his first two seasons in Austin. The 6-foot-1, 164-pounder returned punts as well in 2022. He has over 1500 yards receiving in his career with Texas.
Whittington, a fifth-year wide receiver who has played in 27 games with 17 starts, completed his first complete season in a Longhorn uniform in 2022 and elected to return for his fifth year in 2023. He played in 13 games with 12 starts, often at the slot receiver position. He caught 50 passes for 652 yards and a score.
Barron played in 13 games with nine starts in 2022, bouncing between the cornerback and STAR positions. During his honorable mention All-Big 12 campaign, Barron had 78 tackles, 11.5 TFL, one sack, one fumble recovery, two interceptions, three PBUs, and a quarterback hurry.
Ford, a senior who earned third-team AP All-America honors in 2022, has surged since earning a job in the starting lineup toward the end of 2021. A first-team All-Big 12 selection, Ford tallied 119 tackles, 10 TFL, two sacks, three forced fumbles, two recoveries, two hurries, and two pass breakups. He tied Derrick Johnson’s program record of interceptions for a linebacker with four.
