A lot of people were surprised when Quinn Ewers made the decision to return to Texas football next season instead of going to the NFL. Ewers had a big year for the Longhorns last season and he was one of the top quarterbacks in college football. He decided that one more year with the Longhorns would be beneficial, however, but he also decided that he is still going to throw at Texas Pro Day this season. NFL scouts will get an early look at Texas football QB Quinn Ewers and they can start thinking about potentially taking him in…

Freshman forward Madison Booker prepares to throw in the ball against Alabama in the second round of the March Madness tournament on Sunday, March 24, 2024. Booker scored 21 points to help the Longhorns defeat the Crimson Tide 65-54. The Texas Longhorns are headed to Portland, Oregon for the next round of the NCAA tournament after defeating Alabama 65-54. Yet, if the Longhorns have dreams of winning a national championship, it will take a much cleaner performance than the one displayed against the Crimson Tide. Besides junior forward Aaliyah Moore and freshman forward Madison Booker, no Longhorn shot above 50%…

The Texas Longhorns running game was one of the most surprising aspects of the offense n 2023. After the loss of Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson to the NFL, many questioned how effective this room would be. However, before his season-ending injury to his ACL against TCU in November, Johnathan Brooks was putting the nation on notice, rushing for 1,135 rushing yards, 10 touchdowns, and only a single fumble with an average of 6.1 yards per rush despite missing the final two games of the regular season. With Brooks out, the starting role was filled by exciting freshman CJ Baxter,…

We’re one month away from the 2024 NFL draft. The 2023 season is long over, and we’ve seen top prospects make their cases at all-star events, the combine and pro days. There is still time for change as we learn more and more about how all 32 teams plan to approach the draft, but we’re certainly getting a clearer picture of how this class stacks up — and who could get drafted. So it seems like a good time to predict all 257 names that will be called — and when they will be called over the course of seven…

Former NFL quarterback Vince Young has had an interesting life and exhibited some bizarre behavior at times since retiring from the NFL in 2014. The 40-year-old Texas Longhorns legend was back in the news again this week after it was revealed that he was involved in a wild bar fight that ended when he appeared to get knocked out. Young, who actually last played in the NFL in 2011 for the Philadelphia Eagles, was involved in an incident inside Tokyo Joe’s Shot Bar in Houston, Texas at around 9 PM on Feb. 4, according to TMZ. Video of the bar…

Earlier this week the NFL made a handful of important announcements regarding the 2024 season. The hip drop tackle has been banned and envisioning how that will be officiated is a nightmare in and of itself. We now have an entirely new kickoff system – that John Fassel helped make a reality – which should lead to some exciting moments across the season and hopefully some interesting opportunities for players like KaVontae Turpin. Among the things that the NFL discussed also had to do not with any particular rule, but a particular when. Christmas Day to be exact. Despite the…

Cowboys will likely have WR3 by committee in 2024 – Shane Taylor, Inside The Star Gone are the days of Cooper, Lamb, and Gallup terrorizing opposing secondaries. CeeDee Lamb leads the way, followed by Brandin Cooks. Get updates on the latest posts and more from Inside The Star straight to your inbox. After those two, it’s a free-for-all for that wide receiver 3 spot. Jalen Tolbert looks like the guy as we sit here on Easter Sunday, but that could change. Seventh-round picks Jalen Brooks, Jalen Cropper, and Racey McMath are the only other players they have on the roster…

One thing the Dallas Cowboys can’t be accused of is signing players to a bad contract in free agency this year. That’s the one — and only — perk of being the least active team in the entire NFL. While their fan base is rightfully upset with the lack of effort on the part of the front office, they can at least point to some of the moves from the rest of the NFC East that might not pan out. Here, we identify one free agency decision from each rival that will go down as their worst move in 2024. A former…

As rumors continue to swirl about Dak Prescott’s future with the Dallas Cowboys, wide receiver Brandin Cooks is sticking up for his quarterback. Fresh off a “throwing session” with Prescott, Cooks predicts that Prescott is headed for a massive season in 2024. “Solid throwing session today,” Cooks noted in a March 28, 2024 message on X. “Y’all thought 4 went crazy last year! Let’s just say that was just a glimpse 🏹” Cooks’ message comes days after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Cowboys were prepared to let Prescott play out the final season of his deal without a…

After signing Russell Wilson and trading for Justin Fields, the Pittsburgh Steelers feel really good about their quarterback room heading into the 2024 season. Now, it’s time to ensure Arthur Smith’s offense has enough playmakers for Wilson to cook with in Pittsburgh. George Pickens is the undoubted No. 1 target, and the hope is Pat Freiermuth can get back on track too. However, after trading Diontae Johnson and replacing him with Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins, the Steelers could still use more depth at the receiver position. But there is still one former 1,000-yard receiver on the Steelers’ radar, and…
