SWEAT DOMINATES JAN 31 This past season, T’Vondre Sweat was undoubtedly the best defensive player for the Texas Longhorns. He easily won the Outland Trophy, unanimous first-team All-America honors, and much more.
Now that he is off to the next level, Sweat has begun his NFL Draft preparation, beginning with the Reese’s Senior Bowl. And by all accounts, Sweat is dominating the proceedings, crushing former Arkansas center Beaux Limmer during practice reps.
He is seen crushing Texas A&M guard Layden Robinson in the next rep.
Currently, Sweat is rated as a marginal first-round talent by some experts and as high as 50 prospects by others.
However, Sweat ought to keep climbing the boards if he can maintain this level of play in the run-up to selection day.
JAN 17: “WE CAME FROM THE BOTTOM AND ARE HERE NOW” Major Applewhite, an assistant coach and former Texas Longhorns quarterback, is expected to take over as the South Alabama Jaguars’ new head coach, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
In order to succeed Kane Wommack, who departed the Jaguars to take a position as defensive coordinator at Alabama under Kalen DeBoer, Applewhite will be promoted from his present roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
After being signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent after the 2002 NFL Draft, 45-year-old Texas-Ex Applewhite swiftly made the decision to forgo his playing career in favor of finishing his education and becoming a coach.
He worked under then-coach Mack Brown as a graduate assistant at Texas for two years in 2003 and 2004. He then attended Syracuse, Rice, and Alabama for a year before returning to Austin for the following five years. Prior to being elevated to co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks, he served as the running backs coach.
