Summary
In this week's interview edition of The Flagship Podcast, with so much going on involving Texas Longhorns' recruiting heading into the Dec. 15 signing period, we talk to our own Mike Roach for an update on where things stand coming out of a busy weekend, including the latest on former Texas quarterback commitment Quinn Ewers, who is in the transfer portal after signing with Ohio State.
We talk about where Texas stands with Ewers and why Texas Tech could end up being a significant player in Ewers' re-recruitment and what role former Red Raiders' quarterback Patrick Mahomes might have in that situation.
We also discuss how the fallout from Lincoln Riley leaving as coach at Oklahoma to take over at USC has possibly created some recruiting opportunity for the Longhorns and what the recruiting landscape might look like if Oklahoma decides to go with Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables to replace Riley.
The Flagship weighs in on some of the biggest positions of need for the Longhorns, including linebacker and how Texas may be addressing that position. And, of course, when you talk about positions of need for Texas, you talk about the offensive line and how things could shape up for the Longhorns over the next 10 days with some key in-home visits coming up.
Roach provides names of players to focus on when it comes to UT's offensive line recruiting and the stakes involved in landing those names.
Sticking with positions of need, Roach gives the latest on where things stand with Texas and its receiver recruiting following a record-breaking season for Longhorns' freshman Xavier Worthy and what could be an event that might trigger some movement in UT's receiver recruiting.
We also discuss the things Texas fans should most keep an eye on in terms of events, such as in-home visits, etc., heading into a busy week of recruiting activity.
Longhorns' fans won't want to miss this exclusive interview episode of The Flagship Podcast.
