Video Notes: "Texas Lands Massive 4 STAR Offensive Lineman Brian Swanson...Who is Next?"

Host: Matthew Miller (TexasVOCFB / Texas Longhorns Live)

Length: ~7 minutes

Main Focus: Brian Swanson commitment recap + Texas OL recruiting outlook and next targets.

• Special edition episode celebrating Brian Swanson's commitment.
• Swanson: 4-star OT from South Oak Cliff (Dallas), commits to Texas Longhorns.
• Sponsored by FanDuel.

• Size: 6'5.5", 315 lbs.
• National ranking: #135 overall, #18 offensive tackle.
• Texas led for Swanson "the whole way" — rare in modern recruiting; no real doubt he would end up in the class.
• 15th commit in the class → bumps Texas to #13 nationally.

• Availability: 32 consecutive starts in high school. "The number one ability is availability."
• Versatility: Played LT, RT, LG, RG — all very well. Projects best as right tackle (not prototypical LT, but could prove wrong).
• Athleticism & Physicality:
  • Track background in shot put and discus (all-state level).
  • Strong lower + upper body.
  • Good footwork.
  • High motor: Finds extra work after assignment, loves being physical.
• High Floor/Ceiling:
  • At worst: B+ guard, potential third-team All-SEC.
  • MVP of Under Armour OL camp in Dallas (stood out vs. good competition).
• Development Timeline:
  • Unlikely to start as true freshman but expected in rotation.
  • Strong chance to play meaningfully in Year 2.
  • Could be among the 7 possible starters Kyle Flood references by end of freshman year.
  • If major OL turnover, he could even push for early playing time.

• Compares this addition to Texas' strong 2022 high school OL class (all 5 played).
• Significant turnover expected after 2025 season:
  • Likely losing: Trevor Goosby, Lawrence Seymour, Connor Robertson.
  • Possible departures: Brandon Baker, Melvin Ciani (if they have big years).
• Minimum 3 starters to replace; potential for full OL rebuild.
• Texas needs another "2022-type" class with 5 high-upside guys who can contribute, rather than heavy portal reliance (1-2 portal guys ideal; 3+ risky).

• John Meredith (#1 CB in the country):
  • Final three: Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas.
  • Miller predicts Texas (75-80% confidence / 8/10).
  • Announcement: June 19 (very soon).
  • Would push Texas into top 6-9 class range.
• Ishmael Kamara (next priority after Meredith):
  • Unofficial visit to Texas this weekend.
  • Current leader: Oregon; Texas possibly tied for 2nd with SMU.
  • Dead period approaching — no official visit soon.
  • "Gigantic deal" for OL depth.

Overall Takeaways / Miller’s Closing Thoughts:

• Big win for Texas OL recruiting.
• Class expected to largely wrap up by first week of season (typical Sark pattern), with only 1-3 spots left + flip opportunities.
• Optimistic about finishing 6-10 range (not top 5, but solid boost incoming).

Key Quotes:

• "This is a 2022 type year for Texas on the offensive line."
• "At worst, you're getting a B+ guard... third team all SEC. That's awesome."
• On Swanson's motor: "When he's done with his assignment, moving on to find extra work... loves to be physical."
• On class needs: "You need five guys that you think can play at your program."

Video Notes: "Jabbarius Garror Commits To Texas! Longhorns' Second Commitment In Two Days!" w/ TexasVOCFB co-host Thomas Bresee

Overall Summary Texas lands its second commitment in two days with Jabbarius "Chicken" Garror (Vigor HS, Mobile, AL), a highly productive 4-star edge rusher (No. 110 nationally, No. 12 edge, No. 4 in Alabama). This follows Kasi Curry’s commitment, signaling momentum in the 2026 class. Bresee highlights Garror’s elite athleticism, production, positional versatility, and motor despite being slightly undersized at 6'3", 220 lbs. He projects as a dynamic, high-upside defender who can contribute early in multiple roles.

00:00 - 00:08

• Introduction to the special edition episode.
• Back-to-back commitments: Kasi Curry (yesterday) and now Jabbarius Garror.

00:08 - 00:40

• Recruit Profile:
  • 4-star, top-110 nationally, elite edge prospect from Alabama.
  • 6'3", 220 lbs — noted as a bit undersized but with exceptional production.
  • 42.5 sacks + 88.5 TFLs over the last two years.
  • Sophomore All-American (MaxPreps), Alabama Lineman of the Year (twice).
  • Also played tight end. Nickname: "Chicken" (lifelong).

00:40 - 01:55

• Athletic & Technical Traits:
  • Remarkable first step and athleticism off the line.
  • Elite, quick, strong hands — hard for OL to engage and control him.
  • Excellent bend off the edge.
  • Strong motor; makes plays even when not initially involved (strips, forced fumbles, TDs).
  • Solid length and wide body for his size — not easily overpowered.

01:55 - 03:00

• Positional Versatility:
  • Can play off-ball LB (comfortable, solid in coverage).
  • Played wide-9 edge and 3-tech DT.
  • Strong coverage skills for a pass rusher (better than many big rushers; can handle TEs/slot on short routes).
  • Good hands as a TE in high school (won’t be a primary receiving threat at next level but useful in coverage drops).

03:00 - 05:00

• Development & Scheme Fit:
  • Sophomore year: More athletic, downhill, off-ball LB style.
  • Junior year: Shifted to traditional edge, improved run defense, patience, and use of length. Shows coachability.
  • Projects to add 20-30 lbs.
  • Potential roles: Hybrid (Trey Moore-style), true edge (Colin Simmons comp), or mix of OLB/edge/DT depending on growth.
  • Elite athleticism should help him handle SEC size demands.

05:00 - 06:30

• Class Context:
  • Joins Cam Hall and Derwin Fields — creates versatile edge trio (bigger bodies in Hall/Fields + attacking smaller guy in Garror).
  • Top 6 commits from 5 different states (LA, CA, TX, AL, etc.).
  • Texas continuing national recruiting approach (also MS, AZ, NJ).
  • Likely ends edge recruiting for the class unless elite options remain.

06:30 - 08:45

• Immediate Impact & Outlook:
  • Playmaker who can contribute from Day 1 in right packages; high floor for production as freshman/sophomore.
  • Part of a heating-up class after a slower start — possible John Meredith commitment soon.
  • Strong job by Steve Sarkeesian & staff. Momentum building on the Forty Acres.

• “One of those guys that you’re not going to see the offensive lineman make contact with him and take him for a ride very often.”
• “A really good motor… If you’re going to play that position at that size, he very much has that.”
• “The options are totally open for this kid… I think he can be a really productive player.”
• “Elite athlete, special versatility — one of those things that you can’t really have enough of on the defensive side of the ball.”
• “Texas locks up Jabarius Chicken Garor… really, really talented player.”

Video Notes: "Kasi Currie Commits To Texas! Could This Be The Start Of A Hot Streak?" TexasVOCFB with co-host Thomas Bresee Aired: 6/11/2026 Length: ~7:37

TexasVOCFB breaks down the major commitment of Kasi Currie, a highly touted 4-star defensive lineman (with offensive line upside) from Sierra Canyon High School (CA). The hosts view this as a potential catalyst for a recruiting momentum shift ("landslide") for the Longhorns, addressing needs on both sides of the line while highlighting Currie's elite athleticism, nastiness, and versatility.

0:01 – 0:42

• Special edition episode reacting to breaking news ~1 hour prior.
• Kasi Currie (Sierra Canyon HS, CA) commits to Texas.
• Measurables: 6'5", 310 lbs.
• Rankings: #7 recruit in California, #6 DL, Top-2 overall on 247, strong 4-star composite.
• Other finalists: Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State.

0:49 – 1:34

• Comp from Andrew Ivins (247): Kaden Wallace (Patriots OT).
• Elite two-way athlete: Plays OL (Tackle/Guard) and DL (1-tech, 3/4-tech).
• High-level competition at Sierra Canyon; expected to produce more D1 talent.
• Extremely versatile and movable across positions.

1:43 – 2:55

• Texas recruiting theme: Seeking "nasty," mean, physical, and ferocious players.
• Currie fits perfectly — aggressive finisher who plays with attitude.
• Strong get-off on DL; rarely blocked cleanly; consistently disrupts in the backfield.
• Patient and gap-sound in the run game; doesn't chase big plays at the expense of assignment.

3:06 – 4:05

• Smart player who understands scheme and priorities.
• High ceiling on both sides of the ball.
• Comparisons: Justice Terry level talent; could develop into Byron Murphy (DL) or Kelvin Banks (OL).
• Positional versatility is valuable but requires choosing one side long-term (won't play both on the line).

4:12 – 5:14

• Potential future at offensive tackle (longer development path but high reward).
• Could contribute early on DL.
• Raw but highly capable; right coaching/positioning = first-round NFL potential.
• Texas OL and DL both have future needs (losses expected: Hero Cano, Alex January, etc.).

5:21 – 6:00

• First DL commit in the class.
• Second-highest rated commit behind Ethan Royal.
• Signals the start of a "massive landslide" for Texas recruiting.
• Momentum builder to restore fan confidence.

6:09 – 7:37

• Prediction: Jabberious Gor (edge) expected to commit the next day (pushed up date after Texas visit).
• John Meredith also expected soon.
• Optimism for continued hot streak.
• Currie expected to be a long-term impact player regardless of side.
• Deeper dive planned for Tuesday episode.
• Closing: "Hook 'em."

• Player Profile: Rare two-way line prospect with elite size, athleticism, aggression, and football IQ. High-upside project who can anchor either line.
• Scheme Fit: Brings the physicality and nastiness Texas has lacked in recent years, especially in the trenches.
• Recruiting Momentum: Positioned as the spark for a strong close to the cycle — multiple commitments imminent.
• Development Path: DL for quicker impact vs. OT for higher long-term ceiling. Staff will evaluate based on roster needs.
• Overall Grade for Texas: Massive win — blue-chip talent with star potential who addresses critical line depth.

Episode Notes: Texas Longhorns LIVE #104 – "Should Texas Play Texas Tech?"

Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee

Channel: TexasVOCFB

Length: ~48 minutes

Date: June 2, 2026

• Triggered by Joey McGuire (Texas Tech HC) publicly challenging Texas after Steve Sarkisian’s comments on scheduling strength.
• Texas Tech’s Move: Viewed as a strong PR win for the Red Raiders. They took advantage of an opening and positioned themselves as the underdog fighting the “bully.”
• Likelihood of the Game Happening: Very low (hosts say ~1-2% chance).
  • Not primarily because Texas is “too good,” but due to contractual/financial/logistical issues with Texas State (Texas owes them money if the game is canceled) and Abilene Christian.
  • TV networks (ESPN for Texas-Texas State, FS1 for Tech-ACU) would need to align quickly.
  • Travel, ticket complications, and buyouts make it complicated.
• Hosts’ Take:
  • Respect Texas Tech’s jab; it was fair.
  • The game would be fun/drama-filled and a great Week 1 matchup, but red tape makes it unlikely.
  • Sark probably didn’t need to poke the bear, but his point on schedule strength was accurate.
  • Possible future: CFP matchup or replacing Arkansas in the future SEC schedule.

Key Quote: “You gave them the opening to take that shot back.” — Tommy

Hosts each listed key players/position battles to monitor:

Tommy’s List:

• Lawrence Seymour & Nicholas Robertson (OL depth/freshman impact)
• Derek Cooper (RB depth, red zone/short yardage)
• Kobe Black vs. Cade Phillips (Corner battle)
• Sterling Burkholder (WR depth/leadership)
• Jonah Williams & Derrick Williams Jr. (Safety room health & development)
• Tyler Atkinson (LB impact as freshman)
• Justice Terry (Edge/DT versatility)

Matthew’s Emphasis:

• Strong focus on OL (Seymour especially)
• Linebacker room potential (Atkinson, Snow, Boswell, etc.)
• Justice Terry as a potential game-changer for edge depth

Hosts broke it down by key metrics:

1. Sacks Given Up → Yes, significantly better (better OL + Arch Manning’s growth).
2. Sacks Per Game (Defense) → Yes/Marginally better (more aggressive scheme under Muschamp, Colin Simmons unleashed).
3. Red Zone Offense → Yes, but big moments remain a question mark (better talent should help).
4. Points Allowed Per Game → Similar or slightly better (~18.5–20.5 range).
5. Points Scored Per Game → Big jump expected (38–41 PPG range possible).
6. Record → Expectation: 10-2 (with 11-1 possible if they beat Ohio State). 9-3 is the floor they must beat.

Overall Outlook: Texas has elite talent (top 2-3 in country with Oregon/Notre Dame). Improved coaching (Muschamp/Gideon), culture, and physicality should push them forward. Ohio State game is pivotal for playoff positioning.

• Like & Subscribe reminders.
• Next episode: Tuesday at 8 PM ET.
• Fan interaction: Comments on players to watch and record predictions.

Overall Tone: Optimistic but realistic about challenges. Strong emphasis on culture, physicality, and not taking the foot off the gas despite high expectations. Fun, engaging Longhorn-focused discussion with good banter.

Episode Notes: Texas Longhorns LIVE #102 Show: Voice of College Football (TexasVOCFB) Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee ("Tommy") Date: May 26, 2026 (preseason discussion) Sponsor: FanDuel

A standard preseason Texas Longhorns show covering betting lines, coaching comments, national title outlook, and a guest interview. Strong focus on realistic challenges facing Texas in 2026.

1. Red River Rivalry Betting Line (Texas vs Oklahoma)

• Texas favored by ~6.5 points.
• Hosts view it as roughly fair but discuss potential movement based on early season results. Both teams expected to have tough non-conference games.
• Emphasis on strong defenses on both sides → likely low-scoring game.

2. Sarkeesian’s Comments on Texas Tech

• Sark suggested Texas’ 2s/3s could go undefeated against Tech’s schedule (and that Tech would likely make the playoff).
• Tommy’s Take: Mostly disagrees with the tone (unwarranted shot) but agrees the Big 12 schedule is weak. Still wants the game back on the schedule.
• Matthew’s Take: Defends the strength-of-schedule point but criticizes delivery — Sark loses people when he sounds "mean." Notes Texas has outgrown the old Big 12.
• Broader discussion on playoff selection, conference disparities, and scheduling challenges for non-power teams.

3. 3 Reasons Texas Will NOT Win the National Championship (Main Segment)

Tommy’s Reasons:

1. Injuries & Depth — Football inevitability. Especially concerned about offensive line, linebacker, safety, and quarterback depth. One bad injury at the wrong time could derail the season.
2. Arch Manning doesn’t take the next step — Needs better short/intermediate accuracy and decisiveness as a runner. Even late-2025 Arch might not be enough for a title.
3. Pressure — Massive expectations (expensive roster, Manning QB, Sark in Year 5-6 window). Pressure can create cracks, especially at Texas.

Matthew’s Reasons (overlapping/expanded):

1. Depth issues — Offensive line interior, edge, linebacker, safety, and WR if Cam Coleman misses time. Ryan Wingo not seen as a true WR1 for a title team.
2. Brutal schedule — Ohio State (near must-win), Tennessee in Neyland, Red River, plus tough SEC back half (LSU, A&M, Missouri). Easy to drop early games and get in trouble.
3. Sark needs to adapt — Play-calling flexibility (e.g., 11 personnel adjustments last year) and decision-making under pressure.

Consensus: Talent is elite and title upside is real, but margins in a 12-team playoff are razor-thin. Depth + schedule + execution under pressure are the biggest threats.

4. Guest: Andrew Miller (Mississippi State)

• Discussion on Jeff Lebby’s third year, Camario Taylor (high-ceiling dual-threat QB), offensive weapons (Anthony Evans, Frisco McGee, etc.), and defensive improvements under Zach Arnett.
• State fans have cautious optimism — aiming for bowl eligibility (6 wins).
• Preview of Texas-MSU matchup: Low expectations for Bulldogs in Austin, but excitement for their young talent.

5. Closing

• Standard calls to like/subscribe.
• Tease future guests (e.g., Texas A&M).

Balanced and realistic — high praise for Texas’ talent and Sark but grounded in potential pitfalls. Strong chemistry between hosts. Good guest segment for broader SEC context.

Notable Quote: "Pressure is a privilege, and it’s also a lot to deal with." — Tommy on the 2026 Texas environment.
