## Resource

Texas Longhorns overhaul their running back room with star transfers Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown, aiming to ignite the ground game after last season’s struggles. Can Derrek Cooper’s size and talent create a three-headed monster in the backfield, or will Steve Sarkisian stick with a 1A/1B approach? BK, Brad Kellner explores depth chart battles, key questions for fall camp, and what makes this new group the most improved on the roster heading into 2026. Defensive line expectations soar as Collin Simmons looks to build on his SEC-leading pass rush, with Will Muschamp’s scheme promising new wrinkles for Texas’s front. Hear insights on the importance of D-line rotation, turning pressures into sacks, and the championship potential of the Longhorns' defense. Plus, get the latest Texas basketball schedule highlights, marquee SEC matchups, and a recruiting update as Sean Miller’s momentum attracts blue-chip prospects nationwide. Thanks for tuning in!
