Former Longhorn Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as only repeat winners at Memorial
Former Longhorn Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as only repeat winners at Memorial Scottie Scheffler is dominating pro golf. The Texas Longhorns golf alum, fresh off winning the PGA Championship two weeks ago, has become only the second repeat winner at the Memorial. Only Tiger Woods, who won three times in a row (1999-2001) had repeated at the tournament in Dublin, Ohio is hosted by golf legend Jack Nicklaus. Scheffler surged to the lead at Muirfield Village on Saturday and held on with his trademark machine-like efficiency on Sunday. After celebrating the win on the 18th green, Scheffler was embraced by Nicklaus, sitting greenside. Nicklaus exclaimed, "Well, you did it again." The Dallas native was the only player to break par all four days. He now has three wins on tour this year, which includes his third major championship at Quail Hollow. His season started slow after cutting his hand over the holidays severe enough that it needed surgery. The former "ESPN GameDay" guest picker will play next in two weeks in the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

Elite four-star WR names Texas in top eight schools
Elite four-star WR names Texas in top eight schools It's getting down to the nitty-gritty when it comes to the recruitment of four-star wide receiver Kohen Brown. He's extremely sought-after with 41 total offers, which includes one from Texas. Speaking of the Longhorns, they have made Brown's list of his top eight schools per national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman. Rivals has Brown as the No. 243 overall player and the nation's No. 74 wide receiver. They also have the 6-foot, 180-pounder as the No. 34 recruit out of Texas. It was a pedestrian sophomore campaign for Brown as he amassed just 116 yards and 11 receptions and scored one touchdown in eight games. However, he had a breakout year as a junior in 2024. Brown registered 54 catches for 1,084 yards and 11 scores while also gaining 138 yards and scoring two touchdowns on the ground. He also contributed on defense a bit with 11 tackles and two sacks. Texas didn't offer Brown until a few weeks ago, but he already has an official visit set up for June 6.

Elite OT names Texas in top four schools
Texas produced the top-ranked recruiting class for 2025. However, the 2026 cycle needs more juice, and one of the top remaining uncommitted recruits has placed the Longhorns on a very exclusive list. Malakai Lee, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 320 pounds has named Texas as one of his top four schools per Hayes Fawcett. They join Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan. On3's industry rankings have Lee as the No. 118 overall prospect and the No. 10 offensive tackle in the nation. They also have him as the No. 2 player in Hawaii. Advertisement Lee recently visited Georgia in April. He will travel to see Alabama on May 30 before seeing Texas on June 6 followed by Michigan on June 20. Texas was the first out of these schools to offer Lee, doing so before his freshman season in high school in May of 2022. The Longhorns have an opportunity here to add to offensive line commits Max Wright who committed in February and was followed by Max Wright in March.
