It sounds like Brad Spence may have bumped Tyanthony Smith to 2nd team.

Burton says Kaliq Lockett is the only player to get injured during Spring practice so far. Lockett will be good to go by June. Everyone else is either healthy or ending rehab/green jersey status.

Burton: "In the last 20 years, I have not seen a Texas program this dialed in, not across so many different aspects that make up and create a healthy, elite program."

I think the Kool Aid is legit this time around.

Jackson Christian is out with an MCL sprain It's just a sprain, so no prolonged rehab.

Today's practice. WR Kohen Brown (frosh) had a pair of TDs today. RB Jett Walker (frosh) had a rushing TD.

Michael Terry was a name mentioned today. Had a good day.

Hero Kanu, Kosi Okpala, Melvin Siani, and Ian Geffrad were all mentioned as having very good scrimmage.

Kaliq Lockett was on the sidelines without crutches. Good sign.

I know what mean brother. We have a lot about great team this is but there glaring omission of OL. Baker first yr at new position, no left guard for sure,Goolsby still out.

Goosby's rehab is on schedule. Coleman is looking very good there in meantime. This is good because it means when Goosby comes back, we have starter-quality depth at both OTs.

I am hearing that it is not a given that Seymore will walk in and take the LG spot. Jaydon Chatman is performing very well there right now and could hold off Seymore.

Jackson Christian's injury is the only hangup on the OL right now. But he is expected to be good to go by fall.

Every Spring report I read has something about the OL in there. I don't always share that stuff because it's not as sexy as talking about how good Cam Coleman is. lol

OL John Turntine III is now at 292 lbs.

I guess there is no Orange-White game? I'm reading it will be an open practice for the fans. Anyone know for sure?

No Orange-White game this year. It's a scrimmage/practice that is open to the public, more or less.

I hear that Turntines big weight gain may not be all good news .Some worry that the weight may not be good weight...

Sark said that he changed the game to a scrimmage because he didn't have enough Olineman available.

I thought he did that 3 or 4 years ago. Maybe it's his go to excuse. Sark has made his paranoia plainly obvious.

Will there be any live coverage?

It does ring of deja vu, all over again.

“I would play a game if I could. When you don’t have quite enough lineman, and all of a sudden you get a couple of guys hurt, how do you play? We’ll modify it, it’ll still be entertaining I think for the fans, but ideally I’d love to play a game,” Sarkisian said.

Why Texas is holding an open practice instead of a spring game

The Horns don’t have enough healthy offensive linemen to field two teams.

I wouldn't trust that. He's been in UT's strength and conditioning program ever since he got here. Becton doesn't produce bad weight.
