Several Texas football players speak at Big 12 Media Days

The Texas players talked about leadership, team dynamics and scheme at Big 12 Media Days. Here’s some of the best quotes:

Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, DeMarvion Overshown, and Ovie Oghoufo spoke to Big 12 media in Arlington Thursday afternoon. The four were selected to represent the team as Steve Sarkisian begins his second season at Texas.

Among the important topics that emerged, team leadership and unity appeared to be a common theme for Steve Sarkisian and his players. Sarkisian had high praise for backup running back Roschon Johnson.

Much has been made of Johnson’s emerging role as the vocal leader. That sentiment was echoed by his head coach, who called Johnson an, “alpha,” who demanded the very best from his teammates.

The players also touched on the different personalities within the program, the new schematic additions, and the roles each player will fill.

Here’s a glimpse at what each player had to say to the media.

Notre Dame Football Offers ’21 5-Star Texas Defensive End

Wednesday night saw the Fighting Irish make an offer to one of the most sought-after defensive ends in the country for the 2021 recruiting class.

Brian Kelly spoke ahead of the Camping World Bowl that Notre Dame was ready to start taking an extra step in recruiting. Kelly pretty much stated he saw it as good, but far from elite.

Well, winning the commitment of a new target of the Irish would be a step towards elite.

Wednesday night saw Kelly and the Fighting Irish make an offer to one of the most sought-after defensive ends in the country for the 2021 recruiting class.

Tunmise Adeleye is a five-star defensive end per 247Sports and a four-star by the Rivals rankings and is the latest player to receive a full-ride scholarship offer to Notre Dame.

Whichever the case, both rank him in the top 50 players in the class of 2021 as he checks in at 26 on 247Sports and 43 on Rivals.

Adeleye would be a massive get for the Irish who still have just one defensive commitment in their highly-regarded 2021 class.

As you’d expect, all of the traditional big dogs are in pursuit of Adeleye as the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and plenty of others have already offered the 6-4, 255 pound defensive end.

The Katy, Texas (Hopkins) product has as an impressive amount of highlights just like you’d expect that can be found on his MaxPreps Page.
