Pro Day is set for Tuesday with scouts, GMs, and coaches expected to attend in large numbers. Texas has a significantly higher profile this year with 14-15 players from the combine and many looking to solidify or elevate their draft stock.

QB Quinn Ewers is under scrutiny; while he’s viewed as a Day 2 pick, scouts are closely watching his deep-ball precision and consistency. His Pro Day performance could cement or shift his draft positioning.

Gunnar Helm is recovering from a combine mishap and aims to showcase his skills fully at Pro Day. Cam Williams, a massive lineman with a single starting year, needs to prove his potential is more than theoretical.

David Gbenda’s story highlights perseverance: his parents emigrated from Sierra Leone, and he’s blossomed late in his college career. Strong leadership, big plays in key games, and versatility across coaching regimes make him an appealing NFL candidate.

Players like Andrew Mukuba, Vernon Broughton, and Gavin Holmes seek to capitalize on strong finishes or missed combine opportunities. Broughton and Holmes in particular have much to prove at Pro Day.

With Rodney Terry stepping down, Sean Miller takes over the basketball program. Opinions are split, but most agree that Miller’s offensive acumen and experience may revitalize a program longing for consistent identity and development.

After a demoralizing Friday loss to LSU, Texas baseball bounced back with two dominant wins over the weekend. Young players like Rylan Galvan and Ruger Riojas stepped up, with fans seeing it as one of the most satisfying non-postseason series in years.
