58 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 58 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 58 jersey number

The countdown continues with the New England Patriots being 58 days away from their regular season opener on September 10.

We’re celebrating by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 58 jersey throughout franchise history.

Linebacker Anfernee Jennings was the last player to wear the numbers. The former Alabama standout came into the NFL with big shoes to fill considering he took over the number for former All-Pro linebacker Jamie Collins.

There’s no secret that the Patriots love their linebackers, and several that have come during and before the Bill Belichick era have impacted the team in big ways.

Some have even worn No. 58 on their jersey. Here’s every Patriots player that has worn those numbers (via Pro Football Reference):

Texas LB Ayodele Adeoye has re-entered the transfer portal

Adeoye is back in the transfer portal.

Texas linebacker Ayodele Adeoye entered his name into the transfer portal on Tuesday morning.

Throughout his collegiate career in Austin, Adeoye has made 10 starts tallying 62 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception. The former four-star prospect out of Saint Louis got the majority of his playing time during the 2019 season. He played sparingly since then but has not been able to crack the starting lineup.

This marks the second time Adeoye has entered the portal. The linebacker explored his options last offseason before deciding on staying in Austin.

 

 

Adeoye will enter the portal as a graduate transfer and will be immediately eligible wherever he ends up.

Texas has now lost two linebackers to the transfer portal this offseason. Freshman Terrence Cooks entered his name in the portal on Nov 4.

Whether they use the portal or high school recruits, bringing in more impact players at linebacker needs to be near the top of the priority list for Steve Sarkisian and Pete Kwiatkowski.

2021 Recruiting Class: Meet the Longhorns early enrollees

The Texas Longhorns football team has some early additions from the 2021 recruiting class. They have arrived on campus for the spring.

The Longhorns 2021 recruiting cycle will finish up early next week after the second signing day period. A portion of the 2021 class has already started arriving on campus in Austin. Nine of the 21 signees have started getting accustomed to the Forty Acres.

The current class is ranked No. 17 according to 247Sports composite rankings. While these players originally signed on to play for Tom Herman, they will have a new head coach and staff to get accustomed to. It will be an interesting dynamic with Steve Sarkisian running the show for the burnt orange, but many are hopeful for the future of Texas’ football program.

The Longhorns social media department recently put together a video of the early enrollees arriving to campus.

Texas Football Recruiting: Four-star outside linebacker commits to Texas over Georgia, LSU

Texas landed a commitment from four-star prospect Terrence Cooks. Expected to play OLB for UT, the commitment is a big win for Chris Ash.

Texas’ 2021 recruiting class got a major boost on Saturday afternoon, landing a commitment from four-star prospect Terrence Cooks. Expected to play outside linebacker for the Longhorns, his commitment is a big win for defensive coordinator Chris Ash.

Cooks committed to the Longhorns over Baylor, LSU, and Georgia. Coming from Pearland, Texas, it is another in-state recruiting win for Tom Herman.

Listed at 6-2 and 210 pounds, Cooks is the No. 20 outside linebacker in the country. Nationally, he ranks as the No. 302 player and the No. 46 player in the state of Texas. All rankings come from the 247Sports composite.

A proven winner, Cooks and Shadow Creek High School is looking for back to back 5A-DI state championships. During his senior season, the new Texas commit has posted 24 tackles, one sack, and three quarterback hurries.

This has been a position of need for the Texas Longhorns as they have limited depth behind Juwan Mitchell and DeMarvion Overshown. Cooks is a great pickup for the Chris Ash defense as they try to mold the unit in his vision.

With the way the Longhorns have been hemorrhaging in recruiting, this was a must need move for Tom Herman and his staff.

Four-star outside linebacker Terrence Cooks announces commitment date

Four-star OLB Terrence Cooks announced he will be committing on Saturday, Nov. 14. His final choices are Baylor, Georgia, LSU, and Texas.

Recruiting for the 2021 class has been rough for Texas but it has a chance to get better this weekend. Four-star outside linebacker Terrence Cooks announced he will be committing on Saturday, Nov. 14. His final choices are Baylor, Georgia, LSU, and Texas.

Coming out of Pearland, Texas, Cooks is the No. 20 outside linebacker in the country according to the 247Sports composite. Nationally, he ranks No. 302 and No. 20 inside the Lone Star state.

The Longhorns lead the way on the crystal ball with six predictions. Lead experts Mike Roach, Gabe Brooks, and Nick Harris have given an average combined confidence level of seven in favor of Texas.

Morice Blackwell is the only other outside linebacker currently committed in the 2021 class. He and Cooks would combine for great potential for linebackers coach Coleman Hutzler.

Cooks has been dealing with an injury during most of his senior season. Last season, he recorded 72 tackles, two of which were for a loss, and forced three fumbles.

Attending Shadow Creek High School, Cooks used to play with current true freshman defensive back Xavion Alford. The two won a 5A-DI state championship in 2019.
