March 9, 2026·1 hr 2 min·5 clips

Cam Coleman is listed at 200 pounds, but hosts question if he's too light for a top transfer.

This episode of Inside Texas Football's "IT Live" covers the first day of Texas Longhorns spring practice, hosted by Texas Homer, Cord, and Coach Dub, with live reports from Joe and Evan. The hosts analyze the newly released roster, focusing on player weights and sizes, while the reporters share initial observations from the field. They note running backs Relique Brown (191 lbs) and Hollywood Smothers (195 lbs) are lighter, while freshman D'Abel is already 212 lbs. Defensive back Jermaine Bishop is listed at 165 lbs, and the hosts hope that number is real, indicating weight gain. Michael Terry's size at 6'3", 227 lbs sparks discussion about his potential as a situational running back. The roster lists tight end Michael Masunis at 257 lbs, with debate on his ideal playing weight between 260-270 lbs. Justice Terry's listed weight of 287 lbs is met with approval, given his positional flexibility. Freshman linebacker Tyler Atkinson's weight of 216 lbs is considered a solid starting point. A notable point of contention is Ty Anthony Smith's listed weight of 205 lbs, which Eric believes is incorrect for a linebacker. Reporter Joe shares that defensive coordinator Will Muschamp was observed working with the star position, featuring Grayson Littleton, Wardell Mack, and Bo Masco. Joe notes Arch Manning was limited in practice due to a foot injury, while transfer Cam Coleman looked impressive. The early defensive depth chart showed Bo Masco, Cade Phillips, and Kobe Black leading at corner, with Derek Williams and Jelani McDonald at safety. Joe mentions the practice focused on individual drills and teaching, with minimal yelling from coaches. Reporter Evan highlights that Cam Coleman took first-team wide receiver reps, looking like a natural professional. Evan observes Arch Manning and Coleman were already building rapport during warmups. The practice schedule includes sessions Monday, Wednesday, and Friday before a spring break hiatus. The tone is conversational and enthusiastic, blending roster analysis with immediate practice reports. This episode is ideal for Texas Longhorns fans craving detailed, early-spring football updates and roster speculation. Listeners seeking in-depth strategic breakdowns or major news announcements might find it too preliminary.
