About this episode
As the Texas Longhorns move closer to the 2026 season, the pressure is rising — and it’s landing squarely on Steve Sarkisian. With championship expectations growing and the program firmly in the national spotlight, how much runway does Sark really have left?  In this episode, Brad Kellner of Locked On Longhorns joins us as we break down the realistic expectations for two of the most talked-about young stars in college football: QB Arch Manning and Auburn transfer WR Cam Coleman. Is the hype surrounding Texas’ future fair — or setting the program up for unrealistic demands?  We dive into roster construction, playoff expectations, development timelines, and what success actually looks like in 2026 for Sark, Arch, and the Longhorns. Is this a patience year, or a prove-it season in Austin? Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
