In this episode, Trey and Justin discuss:
- Trey and Justin start with the latest on the Texas team post-Alamo Bowl, and Xavier Worthy’s status after speculation of him potentially leaving/entering the portal before the bowl game. The speculation ramped up after word got out Worthy attended the USC-Tulane Cotton Bowl on Monday. It remains something we’re following at Inside Texas.
- Trey and Justin discuss Texas and the transfer portal in December and where the Horns go from here. The staff is still looking for a safety, with Arkansas transfer Jalen Catalon set to take an official visit next weekend. Other positions of note are EDGE, wide receiver, and potentially another d-lineman. Texas will always been portal hunting, while attempting to churn the bottom of the roster every chance they get.
- Trey and Justin jump into the 2023 cycle for the last two remaining targets – Waco (Texas) Connally LB Jelani McDonald and Mesa (Ariz.) TE Duce Robinson. McDonald is announcing on January 7th at the All-American Bowl in San Antonio. He’s down to Texas, TCU, and Oklahoma State, with whom he was previously committed. Robinson is looking at Texas, Georgia, USC, Oregon, and Alabama, with Oregon potentially getting a visit this month. The nation’s top-rated tight end loves the Longhorns, but battling the Georgia Bulldogs might be too tall of a task.
- Trey and Justin look at another top 2024 target in Bellflower (Calif.) St John Bosco safety Peyton Woodyard, who is also announcing his commitment on January 7th. Despite not making Woodyard’s top schools list last month, the Horns have still positioned themselves well with On3’s No. 2 ranked safety in the 2024 cycle.
- Trey and Justin touch a little on UT’s Junior Day on January 21st and how they list is growing daily with updates at InsideTexas.com.
