And welcome to our Sunday Inside Texas Live show. My guy Evan Veith is here. He's been busy today. He's been driving, he's been taking notes, he's been writing articles. And now we got him here on Inside Texas Live. So Evan, appreciate you being here. And guys, thanks for being here as well. Make sure you throw a like on the video. And real quick before Evan and I get into everything. That's you, Sarkeesian said today. Go ahead and hop over to Inside Texas. Take advantage of that $1 flash sale. Get half off of a year subscription once that $1 week runs out. Yeah. Come join the guys at it and you'll be able to read all those fine works of Evan. Evan, how was the press conference, man? What was, what was Sark's vibe? You know, you send some confidence. Let's just one thing at a time, of course. But I'll let you pick first. What was the first big topic or name rather, you know, that Sark had to talk about today? Yeah, it was good.
Evan Veith
It was fun. It was, it was lively. It was light. He spent a little bit talking with Jeff Traylor before we even got on, which some people already seen on my Twitter. But the trailer was about six minutes late, so it pushed Stark back a little bit, which is pretty funny. But yeah, I think the first thing that a lot of Texas fans like, the first piece of news is on their mind, is the Cole Hudson lawsuit. The situation, for those who don't know, Texas guard Cole Hudson was not drafted in the NFL draft after four years playing at Texas, did go through Brown's minicamp and is now filing a lawsuit in Travis county clerk's office to say, hey, hey, with five for five coming in, it's unfair, it's not rightful for these players who could have used this 5 for 5 these past few years who aren't eligible even though they just graduated to earn more nil money, get more opportunities, get another chance to be drafted in the NFL. What have you. And Sark made it clear that, you know, they're monitoring what Cole Hudson's situation is and how that's going to work, and pointed out that, you know, there's been years and years of piggybacking, of lawsuits, how one lawsuit leads to another, leads to another, leads to a different situation. Situation with each player. So it's. It's hard to really tell what's going on with Cole from what it seems. I don't think Texas is the catalyst in what's going on with the Cole Hudson lawsuit. I think this is more of the Hudson side of things going, you know, what, like, we'd like to play more college football and, you know, there's some merit to it, right? Like, it is very arbitrary that the NCAA said we're implementing this rule. It cannot work with the guys who just graduated. And they. They have a case of what's going on in college college sports, football, basketball, baseball, for the past few years. Like, why not allow us to come in and just get this one extra year of eligibility? As Chris Bentz pointing out in the chat, which I was just going to get to. Jordan Pope, another Texas player, point guard for the basketball team, is also sewing. And a lot of the grounds for a lot of these players is just, you know, why. Why can't we be included? Like, does it change anything if our group is included? I know we've graduated. All these other players have graduated who are playing fifth in six years. So why can't we be grandfathered? And there's some merit to it? And I wonder if. Because there's so many people making these claims in so many cases that the NCAA will eventually go, you know what? We don't want to deal with this. What if we just give everyone that fifth year who would have been given the fifth year if they were just one year younger in their eligibility. And, you know, Hudson played as a freshman at Texas, never was a true starter until last year. But, you know, that's. That was someone who, you know, could have gotten that fifth year, didn't ever redshirt, so we'll see where that goes. He did touch on it, though, and that was just something interesting that we heard.
Chris
Yeah, again, it's. I, maybe it is more of the Hudsons, and I don't blame them. You know what I mean? Like, they deserve, if there's no wrong in my, you know, in my, my book where they don't deserve to be it. Now again, it's going to set the president where, you know, you've obviously got Jordan Pope doing it as well. You're going to have players at other schools that may have already done this or, you know, more fall in line. So it always unique in college football or unique times in college football. But, you know, what would Cole Hudson, if, you know, he does return, you know, a. Do you feel like Texas would, you know, you know, happily take Cole Hudson and as in return and then like, how much has he helped his team? You know, it's a guy that we saw a left guard last year, so we. You don't expect him to start at left guard this year, just a depth piece. Like what are your thoughts on the whole thing?
Evan Veith
But that's a great way to put corn. You know, that segues into a little bit of the next guy we want to talk about. But you know, I don't think Hudson would be the starting left guard and I think Connor Robertson's shown that he can play center at the level Hudson or better and was, you know, has that year of eligibility that allowed him to play throughout the spring. So I don't think he would start anywhere. Hudson, Texas would gladly take more O line depth. Every team in the country would gladly take more O line depth and I don't believe he'd be able to enter the transfer portal or try to go to another school if he were to do so. So he'd probably just kind of be your left guard, center, swing backup, which, you know, I would, I wouldn't say no to. I mean, Hudson didn't have a great year last year, but he's at least played four years of college football. There's not a lot of guys on the roster that can say they've done that. But really I do think this left guard spots can end up being Lawrence Seymour's. And you know, Seymour is a guy that I specifically asked Sark about, like, hey, you know, since we last talked to you, which was either in Houston at a convention a few, few months ago or just back in the spring. You know, we, we've seen some new players come to campus and that being Nick Robertson and Lawrence Seymour and I believe maybe one more of the kind of late transfer portal players they've added. But Seymour is obviously the name for people and, you know, how's he progressing? What's it like coming in as a summer transfer in this current day and age? And positives all around from Stark says he's going well did kind of joke that you can just never know with an offensive lineman when you these guys right now are just playing in underwear. Like they're not actually having. There's no physicality. It's just conditioning. It's weight training. It's things of that nature. So what's good and the thing that I pointed out on Twitter is that he said that Seymour's body's already changed which means that Seymour was doing the right things in the spring when he was at Western Kentucky to not be super far behind. You know, he didn't know exactly what the plan would be for his body when coming to Texas. Of course the Texas strength and conditioning staff is going to make sure he's able to play guard in the sec. But what that exactly looked like he might not have known in the spring when he was just finishing up classes at Western Kentucky. So shows that he didn't show up out of shape and it shows that he's been able to you come in and actually put, put his head down and do what he can do before he can actually play real football to earn that starting left guard spot. You know that is not a spot that is assured to him. I think he will end up being the starting left guard. But Jaden Chapman played there all throughout the spring and he's I believe entering his fourth year Dylan Sikorski added from Oregon State. Don't you know Andre Coho Kojo, don't take his name out of the ring. He's finally recovered from that injury, fully been through the ringer of that that bad and long term recovery that has to happen when you do, you know, tear things in your leg at that position so he can play guard. And I wonder if he's going to be someone that's really pushing in the fall for that. But I do think Seymour is going to end up winning that job and that's a good thing. That's exactly what Texas fans wanted to hear and start kind of giving you finally some words of encouragement about kind of the last position you we don't know much about on the Texas roster
Chris
as well said man. And again if we are serviceable at left guard, the offensive line should be pretty good. Right? You know what I mean? Like yeah, again we had, we thought we might have had options of going into last year. Turns out you didn't really have options. I feel much better about the options that Texas has going into 2026. I think that you know the reviews on Sikorsky I think he, he's looked great, looked well so far. He's working hard, doing the right things. And it's good to hear that Lawrence Seymour is the same way as, you know, also. And so if he is end up ends up as a starting left guard, it's because he went out and earned the spot. You know, I definitely agree with you that it's, you know, not guaranteed to him. This whole line, man. And again, it needed options like this. They had to turn over rocks and find what was there. And you go out to Oregon State, you go to Western Kentucky, and then you've got guys that you've brought up and have been part of the program who have become options too. So, I mean, definitely feels, you know, we're at a much more positive point, you know, this season. We're going into last season and, and fall camp or summer camp with that offensive line in particular. All right, Evan, who are we talking about next? What you got for me?
Evan Veith
Well, I just think one, one last point on, on Seymour is that I think people forgot that like he was an all American on FWA's, you know, second team list. Like, this is not some just random G5 guy that Texas is hoping can hit. Like, this is proven production did really well against LSU early last year when LSU still a team to care about at that point in time. I think they already beaten Clemson at that point or, or something of that nature. So, you know, Seymour is a guy that I would be very excited about if he does earn that spot, because I think him earning it proves that he's that level of player. But you know, the name that ended off the conference and it's getting a lot of, lot of interaction right now and just throughout, you know, Texas buzz is Jermaine Bishop. And that's one of the biggest names in this class. I think you could argue outside of dfl, like the biggest name maybe Tyler Atkinson of who came into campus and who people are really excited for playing in year one. And you know, we talked about in the spring how Bishop was playing wide rece and did really well. We've heard about how he kind of ascended up to maybe that wide receiver for first guy off the bench position there. And then as we report on Inside Texas and in the summer he was working with the CB room and now that wasn't field play. Right. Like they're not actually going out practicing, but that means he was in their meeting rooms. That means he was lifting weights with that group. He was working really closely with Mark Orfeh. And the rest of that positional group, whether it be Somari Matthews or fellow freshman or even veterans like Warren Roberson, Bomasco, whoever you may be. So that was the thing we were looking at. Like, what is Jermaine Bishop going to be doing this year? How is he actually going to play, play for this Texas roster? He can be played in both. And start confirmed that, like, you know, he's very talented, they love his leadership. But at the end of the day, like, this guy's going to play wide receiver at Texas this next year, and that's what's going to happen in the fall. I think as soon as August, excuse me, rolls around, he's going to be playing with the wide receivers, taking his reps there, taking actual practice snaps there. And I kind of talked about on Twitter, I don't think there's a lot of harm in what he's done, right? Like, if. If this is the kind of guy that they've built him up to be, which is ultimate character evaluation, win like someone who's just going to be a very smart, cerebral football player, and he pointed out, like a leader already in this freshman class, then he can maybe withstand the chance of, like, he loses a little bit not playing wide receiver in that summer. But it's not like he's playing any position. He's just lifting weights and going to meetings. So I think Bishop's gonna be a guy who, who's really going to spark this offense. At certain times in the year, he will be playing wide receiver. And there's very interesting comparison that Sark made. We've documented a lot of John Ross and Dory Jackson as players who worked under Sark, who played both wide receiver and cornerback. You guys know devonte Smith, when he won the Heisman Trophy, was playing quarterback, cornerback, reps in practice, like the first part of the scout team. Reps. He was the emergency cornerback for Alabama in 2020 when he was about to go and have one of the best wide receiver seasons we've ever seen. At least the best in my lifetime, I think. So that's just a comparison he threw out today. Kind of unprompted. Like, this is kind of what we did with devonte Smith. It's not. It's not something we've never done. Like, he and Jeff Banks and whoever else in the staff is familiar with those Alabama days, like, they've. They've gone about this process before. They know what they're doing with a wide receiver slash cornerback. They promised Bishop. Maybe the promise isn't the Word. But they told Bishop as recruitment, like, we're going to give you the chance to play both sides. We'll at least test you on both sides of things. But I do think wide receivers, his best position and where he should stick for the long ones, at least as a freshman.
Chris
He's just so elite. And again, he was elite defensively in high school, but, man, just such a special skill set that I think can help Texas. Like you said, Evan, in 2026 as a freshman. Yeah, I think he has that potential. And again, maybe, you know, you see a vision for him on defense. Well, I don't care. I'm throwing all that out the window. I'm an offensive guy. I want Jermaine on offense. I'm glad to hear Sark's gonna feel that way, too. Man, the hype around Jermaine is really special. You remember a Texas player coming in their freshman year that had quite the height that Jermaine does.
Evan Veith
You know, at least a wide receiver. I think it's surpassing what Wingo or Dante Cook had. It's probably Worthy, really. And that was back at a time when Worthy wasn't or at least Texas specific specifically. There just wasn't as much hype around it. You know, it was Sark's first year, but we knew Worthy was going to be the starting wide receiver. And I think there's a lot of hope that he would be really good year one. But, you know, even with how advanced this. This roster has become since then, like, it feels like Bishop is getting that same amount of buzz even though he's not a starter. And I will say that Stark did. Did point out, like, in an emergency, Bishop could play quarterback. Excuse me, like, if they were down like two players in that room and they needed to play dime packages. I wonder if in. In that practice week they say, hey, Jermaine, like, you ready to play five snaps on the defensive side of the ball? I think that'll be pretty interesting. Probably not a good look for the Longhorns if they have to go to that spot, but, you know, they're just ready to use them. I. You can really tell that Sark just wants to find ways to get this guy on the field that might be in pump return too. We'll see if, like, in the. The out of confidence they'll give him a snap or two there at kick return. But, you know, as for overall freshman, I think Colin Simmons in the last few years is the one that's really brought the most hype and the most hope for. For who they could be as a true freshman in their first year. But I think Bishop's right up there, as you're pointing out.
Chris
Yeah, I mean, it's up there. I feel like to me, the hype is it's unmatched. But I don't know. Again, I. I feel like I'm a little biased here. I do love the game. Real quick, guys. We're here from Andre the Lawyer and we'll be right back.

Chris
Alrighty, guys, welcome back. Chris asking, how's Tampa's been? Great, man. It's been a pretty rainy last couple of days, but flag football's gone really, really well. We got to get back out there and compete. It's fun, it's intense. It's kind of been eye opening for our girls, but it's been a lot of fun. Evan and I, eventually, it's finally happening. He's not going to be able to run for me for much longer here in like 72 hours, Evan's flying over. We're covering SEC Media Days together. I'll provide coverage from the first couple of sessions. I mean, Texas doesn't go until we go dead last, right, Evan? Thursday.
Evan Veith
Yeah, I think it's either the last or second to last.
Chris
Yeah. For us. So Evan and I will both be over in Tampa. I believe Ian is coming as well. And so we'll be sharing all the good stuff over inside Texas. You know, not just from sarc, but from. From all the interest, interesting takes and opinions and comments coming out of Tampa here for SEC media days. I'm excited, Evan. It's gonna be Evan's first media. SEC media days, correct? My. My first year, unfortunately. Yeah. I mean, it, it. I mean, you were waiting on me. Evan, I. I get it, man.
Evan Veith
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris
I appreciate it mostly. But yeah, anything from Star Expresser that really stood out to you outside of the fact, you know, you. We covered Lawrence Seymour a little bit. Obviously covered Cole Hudson. Talked a Little bit about five for five and of course, superstar Jermaine Bishop. Any, any other bullet points that you got ready to talk about?
Evan Veith
Yeah, I think one interesting question, one of the, one of the reporters from one of these, the, the Texas, I think might be Dave Campbell's on one of these Texas sites is they were asking a lot about running backs to some of the coaches and I heard, you know, Coach Traylor's press conference and Phil Longo and another high school coach with the DeSoto head coach just, you know, how does running back play changed over the past, you know, decade and plus. And is, is the workhorse running back dead? Is that not something you're going to see in college football anymore? And it was a pretty good question to ask to Sark because this is someone who not only brought in one running back who was pretty high profile, but two in the transfer portal. I mean, two of the top five guys. And Sark just kind of noted and had a really long and interesting response about how these days there's so many different specific reasons why you just don't have these bell cowbacks. You know, in the era of agents and nil and things like that, they're more, they're a little more, more savvy about, you know, you can't have this wear and tear of how you play running back in college the way that, you know, maybe Jonathan Taylor, you know, you go back further, Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, these guys that were playing from their very start at their schools and were getting over two 50 carries every year, it felt like, and that's just with an agent who knows the value of a player and nil money and knowing that the goal is the NFL where your track life is maybe five years maximum if you've had the ball too much in college, they don't want players who are bell cows anymore. They don't want their, these agents don't want their guys to be taking this many carries. And it makes sense when you're looking at how Texas got both Hollywood smothers and, and relief Brown. It's like, you know, both of them, no matter where they would have gone, probably would have had to be in some sort of committee, right? Like relief Brown had Udo with him last year and Smothers had a little more of the line share of his carries, I believe. But either way, like, no matter what, if they were going to advance up into SEC level player or top tier Big Ten teams, they were going to have to share some carries. And it could have been Daniel Hill at Alabama with, with smothers feet ended up going there. And if Brown had come to Texas, maybe it's Trey Wisner or Christian Clark and stuck around and those guys would have kept carries with him. And that's part of how, you know, I think Texas was able to pitch both of them to come, to come to the Longhorns to play for them next year in tandem when they could have easily gone, maybe even gotten more nil at two separate schools. So I just thought that was interesting. You know, you pointed out that in high school now, like, if you're 6 to 220 pounds, like you aren't the team's running back anymore, like you were in the 2000s, you're their edge rusher going to get the passer, you're their H back, tight end. Like, you think of Michael Terry who's now. Who now is playing running back in Texas. So, you know, there's not a Najee Harris that he can utilize. And I think there's only about three to five running backs in college football this year. Where I look and I go, they're just going to take pretty much every carry for this team and their team will be centered around this one player taking as many touches in this game as possible. And you don't expect that at Texas, and I would. I don't think you should expect that at Texas for pretty much the rest of the time. The Stark's going to be there as long as he can recruit that position
Chris
well, as well said, man, again, an NFL running back has a short shelf life, you know, and it's a lot shorter. If they've taken a beating throughout college, if they're taking a beating throughout high school, I'm with you, man. I'm. I'm on the board. The, the platoon system for running backs, you know, you've seen it a lot in the NFL. They'll be. And it'll be a rotation of. It could be two, three, sometimes four guys. Like, you know, again, maybe it's a pass catching back on third downs. Maybe it's a guy who's better at, you know, picking up a blitz on third downs, you know, and utilizing each skill set, you know, and they got to be able to complement each other a little bit. You can do different things. But, dude, I was a sophomore in high school. Evan, if you can include the playoffs, I, we had two backs behind me that each ran for 2,000 yards. I'm always big on having a little bit of a thunder and lightning or some type of, of just change up, change of pace. And, and again, if you have two really skilled guys like Texas is going to have with Hollywood and Malik, you could do an array of fun things with those two. You can have them on the field simultaneously. They can obviously spell one another and then those are, you know, in my opinion are going to be pretty, pretty good, you know, leaders for a young Derek Cooper and other backs to, to, you know, follow and, and learn things from. So I'm excited for it.
Evan Veith
Sit here with me for one second as I was trying to pull up the stats, but I believe part of it with Derek Cooper as I'm trying to get his total touches in high school. But you know, Cooper carried the ball a lot in his last two years. Yeah, 165 carries in 14 games as a senior and then 124 the year before that. So, you know, that was a guy who is coming to Texas with a good bit of wear and tear already from his high school career. And you know, let's say they do get land in Williams callous. I mean that guy is the epitome of taking a lot of touches in high school. So you know, that's just. Sark is going to pitch this to these running backs like, hey, like listen to these nil agents and these NFL people will tell you like they don't want you to take so many touches as a true freshman. You don't need to because eventually if you play in your sophomore junior years, you're going to be an NFL product
Chris
no matter what said man. And again, like you said, don't expect it out of Sarcasian as far as just having your every down feature back, look at the next class and who Texas is after. You got Noah Robertson trying to pair him with Landon Williams. College just again, just kind of backing on what you've said there, Evan. But any, anything else, any, any, any other tidbits? I like the running back thing a lot. I almost missed that one.
Evan Veith
No, I'm trying to think. I mean he talked a little bit about roster construction and you know, programs getting older. I think he pointed out that trailer has the oldest roster in college football. UTSA does. They're like a 21 year average age, whereas Texas is right at 19. So you know, there was a little bit of talk about how he addressed the portal a little differently. Knew that after last year he needed to make some, some more veteran adjustments and additions. And I wrote about that this week and you guys at Inside Texas didn't like it. I don't know why, but I wrote about this week I'm like, you know, Texas is young again. They're fourth youngest in the country, but it's a different type of young. They're not young the same way they were last year where it was inexperienced. They have an experienced team now. The only true sophomores who are going to be playing for them are Grayson, Littleton, who started last year, Cade Phillips, Nick Townsend, Lance Jackson, who are all in. Townsend might not even start. Those guys are all players who played already for Texas. So it's not like when they were putting into second year wide receivers, one of which rarely played at all. Not a first year starting quarterback, not new starters on the O line. Like it's different this year. And so he added, you know, 47 new players to this roster. And you know, some of them were true freshmen, some of them were veteran, veteran type of players to come in. But also there was a mix of like, let's add some, a few more guys, guys this year from like the G5 ranks or lower, P4, P2 who have already played some snaps but have a lot of eligibility left. I think Sikorsky, who we pointed out before, is a perfect example that like a lot of development left to go for him. But he did play at Oregon State and has earned some reps and that's someone who maybe next year is going to get a lot of chances to start for the Longhorns.
Chris
That's well said, man. Again, you have to have a little bit of, you know, experience. You gotta have a little bit of maturity. And I'm saying calling young guys immature, but you know what I mean, guys that have been through the fire, guys that have done it, know what it takes and you know, some great. If you can add some of those guys and they're part of like your leadership core essentially and you know, you just add, you know, togetherness, continuity, all that. So I, I think it's important to bring older guys and veterans in. I didn't realize it was UTSA that has the oldest group in the country though. Yeah, always. Indiana's was slightly over 22 last year. What was.
Evan Veith
Yeah, I think they were, I think they were, I think they were in that area.
Chris
Again, this is part of, you know, the COVID the post Covid and all the extra years of eligibility and all that. So you probably won't see anything like that again. I, I don't know. I guess with 5 for 5, I guess it's possible. But yeah, I was still a little bit surprised with all the additions that Texas made that we were still you know, just over 19 for. For hours. I mean, again, I don't think it's super relevant, but you go look at what Indiana did last year and the older guys, guys that have played a lot, guys that had experience in a lot of different places. But man, he put it all together, dude, and so we'll see. I'm excited about this group for Texas, man. Again, knowing that Lawrence Seymour is doing the right things, working the right way and earning that spot again, that he's won it, but working to earn that spot. And then again knowing that Jermaine's going to play on offense again, I kind of felt like that was always going to be the case. I didn't know the tidbit on Devonte Smith, you know, spending a little bit of time being an emergency corner, but I'd love to hear it's going to be on offense. Evan, that's gonna be it, buddy. I really appreciate it, man. Guys, before you hop off, make sure if you're not a subscribe to Inside Texas that, well, you get subscribed and you can do it for just $1. Take advantage of that deal. We always got deals, man. So go take advantage. But appreciate it, Evan. Appreciate all you guys watching. Throw a like on the video. I'll see. I'll be back on here tomorrow, I believe. Evan, if you want to come a day or two early to Tampa, man, you, you know, I got two beds in here. You can come.
Evan Veith
I'll check with Delta, see what they're thinking.
Chris
Talk to Delta, man. It's always those airlines. But again, thanks for watching, guys. Everyone have a blessed Sunday and we'll see you next time on Inside Texas.

Podcast: Inside Texas Football
Host: Inside Texas (Chris & Evan Veith)
Episode Focus: First-hand updates from Steve Sarkisian's recent press conference covering Texas Longhorns Football, including hot-button roster issues, player development, and strategic outlooks for the upcoming season.
This episode delivers direct insight from Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian's latest press session, as recapped and analyzed by Chris and Evan Veith. The hosts break down key topics: the Cole Hudson lawsuit and "5 for 5" eligibility debate, evaluation of major transfer additions, clarity on highly hyped recruit Jermaine Bishop’s role, and evolving strategies around running backs and roster management. The discussion is candid, analytical, and brimming with critical “insider” observations for Longhorn fans.
[01:30 – 04:26] Evan & Chris
"There's been years and years of piggybacking, of lawsuits, how one lawsuit leads to another... It's hard to really tell what's going on with Cole from what it seems. I don't think Texas is the catalyst..." (01:54)
[04:26 – 08:03]
"Did kind of joke that you can just never know with an offensive lineman... Right now they’re just playing in underwear." – Evan paraphrasing Sark (04:57)
"He was an All-American on FWA's second team list... This is not some just random G5 guy that Texas is hoping can hit." (08:03)
[08:03 – 12:43]
"There's a very interesting comparison... to what we did with Devonta Smith," referencing Smith’s emergency practice reps at CB during his Heisman year at Alabama. (10:20)
"I think it's surpassing what Wingo or Dante Cook had. It's probably Worthy, really... even though he's not a starter." – Evan (11:35)
[14:50 – 19:14]
"Their agents don't want their guys to be taking this many carries... if they were going to advance up into SEC level player, they were going to have to share some carries." – Evan (15:40)
[19:36 – 21:29]
On the chaotic eligibility environment:
"There's so many people making these claims in so many cases that the NCAA will eventually go, 'You know what? We don't want to deal with this. What if we just give everyone that fifth year who would've been given the fifth year if they were just one year younger in their eligibility?'" – Evan Veith [02:40]
On Lawrence Seymour’s arrival:
"Seymour's body's already changed, which means that Seymour was doing the right things in the spring when he was at Western Kentucky to not be super far behind." – Evan [05:30]
On running backs and the impact of NIL/agents:
"If you've had the ball too much in college... they don't want their guys to be taking this many carries." – Evan [15:40]
On roster strategy and maturity:
"Texas is young again... but it's a different type of young. They're not young the same way they were last year where it was inexperience… They have an experienced team now." – Evan [19:50]
On Jermaine Bishop’s versatility:
"At the end of the day, like, this guy's going to play wide receiver at Texas this next year, and that's what's going to happen in the fall." – Evan [09:15]
"There's a very interesting comparison that Sark made... to what we did with Devonta Smith..." – Evan [10:20]
