very good report......Hook'em

Exactly! True freshmen who are really good enough to play are few and far between. Happens but it is rare. Locksley should play this year only if it is a "have to" situation much like Heard's situation last year. 

The ideal scenario is to have 3, or more, non-true freshman scholarship QB's available and red shirt any and all true freshmen. So Texas is still a year away from having the ideal scenario at the QB position.

And as another poster said, both Vince and Colt red shirted and Locksley is a long, long way from being as good as either of them. 

 I have to agree with everyone. Locksley should redshirt. Barring an injury, I don't think he'd be ready to play this year. A true freshman may be good enough to start at some places, but I doubt they'd be ready at a power 5 school. Just my opinion.

i said it after meeting him, and reading those updates only confirms my belief....Jeff Traylor will be a D1 Head Coach in 5 years.

Unlike last years class where Strong was hesitant to play freshmen the 2015 class was recruited to play. The only players that redshirt will be players that are not ready. If Locksley plays injuries happened at qb or the coaches are all in for 2015 meaning Locksley and Heard have passed Swoopes. If Merrick comes in for fall he would be redshirt qb in 2015 class

Texas booster Red McCombs not optimistic about season: We don’t ‘have the horses’

If there is anyone who would be looking forward to Texas’ upcoming season, you figure it would be one of their top boosters — a man who has poured over $100 million into the university. But Longhorns booster Red McCombs says he is not optimistic about what the football team will do this season.

“I’m extremely optimistic that this is going to be a great college football season, but the Longhorns won’t be sharing in that,†McCombs said Tuesday via MySanAntonio.com’s Mike Finger. “I don’t believe they have the horses.â€

Based on what he has been told by head coach Charlie Strong, this will be a rebuilding year for Texas and its second-year coach.

“Coach Strong told me he really likes the young guys,†McCombs said. “He said he plans to play more freshman than he ever has. I told him that can be a good thing.â€

McCombs’ pessimistic outlook regarding the upcoming season for the Longhorns should not be a huge surprise. Recall that the mega-donor was not too happy with the hire in the first place when it was made last year, though he says he is supportive of Strong and the school’s athletic director. Or maybe McCombs comes from the LeBron James school of downplaying expectations publicly despite feeling more confident about your squad privately
