Dallas Cowboys All-Pro Micah Parsons shows extreme disappointment in Longhorn star after questionable decision
Texas true freshman pass rusher Colin Simmons took the College Football world by storm in 2024, finishing the season with 48 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, nine sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception.

Texas true freshman pass rusher Colin Simmons took the College Football world by storm in 2024, finishing the season with 48 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, nine sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception. The former five-star player made an immediate impact coming out of Duncanville High School. Simmons was a vital element for one of the best defensive lines in the entire country.
A standup rusher by trade, Simmons also wears the No. 11 jersey, which is eerily similar to another star pass rusher playing in the Lone Star State. We are going to see more and more talented pass rushers try to emulate Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons in the future. Simmons is just the latest.
Simmons decided to make a change this offseason, switching to No. 1 for his sophomore season. When it hit X, Parsons took notice. He didn’t seem to approve of moving away from that No. 11 aesthetic.
In a follow up response, Simmons mentioned wanting to create his own path. That mission is very admirable. Due to Simmons' size (listed at 6-3 and 238 pounds), talent level, and playing in the state of Texas, those comparisons are going to be natural to Parsons. Detaching from the number is probably for the best as he continues to build his own brand and grow into his talent.
Going into the 2025 season, Simmons looks to anchor a tremendous Texas defensive line once again. He will be a part of a strong edge group that also features Trey Moore and Ethan Burke. There is also some young talent like Colton Vasek that will continue to round into form, as well as some massive size on the interior.
Without getting too hyperbolic about Simmons, he has a chance to be one of the best defenders in the country heading into the next season. The Longhorn defense was great in 2024, but there is a chance it could be even better this fall. Simmons will be instrumental in that possibility, although while sporting a new number on his back.
Steve Sarkisian proved right as former Texas playmaker makes major career announcement
Texas head coach once thought Savion Red could be the "secret sauce" who could fix his offense's red zone woes, but the playmaker didn't stick around long enough to fulfill those hopes. Red totaled 36 touches in two years with the Longhorns before bolting to Nevada. He announced this week that he's back in the […]
