SURPRISE: Unexpected Texas Freshman LB STEALING THE SHOW Early at Winter Workouts | Texas Football

from Locked On Longhorns - Daily Podcast On Texas Longhorns Football & Basketball · host Locked On Podcast Network

The Texas Longhorns linebacker room emerges as one of college football’s biggest surprises, with freshman Rocky Cummings unexpectedly turning heads in winter workouts. Can the combination of portal standouts like Rasheem Biles, incoming freshmen Tyler Atkinson and Kosi Okpala, and key returners make Texas a defensive force in 2026? Brad Kellner spotlights Cummings’ rapid rise, draws parallels to former Oklahoma star Danny Stutsman, and examines why Texas is now stacked for both immediate impact and long-term success.   Plus, Longhorn basketball’s 5-game streak ended in a tough loss to Georgia, raising questions about tournament odds and ongoing defensive issues. Brad Kellner gives an honest breakdown of Sean Miller’s squad, key player performances, and the magic number for Big 12 wins. Plus, Texas baseball stays undefeated behind Dylan Volantis’ dominant starts and a standout pitching staff—are the Horns poised for another deep run?
