Some notes from the OTF crew:
– Jeff Banks already was without a voice about 15 minutes to the team being on the field. Steve Casula was VERY hands on with the tight ends today. He had a ton of coaching and critiques for the group. Casula was the the co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach for the University of Michigan in 2025.
Full look at the RB order:
RB1A: Hollywood Smothers
RB1B: Raleek Brown
RB3: Ryan Niblett
RB4: Derrek Cooper
RB5: Michael Terry III
RB6: James Simon
RB7: Jett Walker
– Jaydon Chatman was the first team left guard today. Laurence Seymore is most certainly the shortest offensive line body that Texas has had in the Sarkisian/Flood era. He worked with the third group at left guard. But I definitely saw explosiveness off the line, something that Trevor Goosby mentioned at SEC Media Days.
– Jermaine Bishop Jr. had a tremendous outing catching the football. It is very interesting that he is a no-gloves guy in these settings. I don't know if that will carry over to games, but that's something that definitely stood out.
— Manning’s deep ball looks good as he hit Wingo in the back corner of the end zone on the last play before media was ushered out.
– Offensive line No. 1 Group: Trevor Goosby, Jaydon Chatman, Connor Robertson, Brandon Baker, Melvin Siani. Seymore looked a little out of place at 6'2. But he is explosive. He ran with the 3's today.
