Texas receiver shows awful moves a few months ahead of huge showdown with Ohio State

This video is worse than the one that Brandon Inniss had a few weeks ago.

Over each of the last two seasons, the Ohio State football team has taken down Texas. In 2024, it was in the Cotton Bowl, which propelled them towards winning the national championship. Last season, the Buckeyes took down the Longhorns at home in the Shoe in the season opener.

This year, the Ohio State Buckeyes travel down to Austin in Week 2. Both teams will get a warm-up game in Week 1 before this massive clash. These are two of the best teams in the country again, so this game will certainly have College Football Playoff implications.

In the offseason, Texas added Cam Coleman from the Transfer Portal. The former Auburn wide receiver was viewed as one of the best prospects in the portal. The newest Longhorn recently had a workout that was videotaped. If this is any indication of how he's going to play, Ohio State is going to be very happy.

Cam Coleman's offseason workout should make Ohio State fans happy

In several of the clips, Coleman looks like his shoes are stuck in mud. He looks slow as he starts each route. What makes matters worse is that he doesn't have any defense playing against him.

Ohio State receiver Brandon Inniss received some criticism for a similar video that came out with his offseason work. However, it's pretty clear that Coleman's tape is much worse than what Inniss put out. Coleman is supposed to be an elite talent. Inniss has never been better than a third option.

If this is how Coleman is going to play when these two teams meet in September, Ohio State fans are going to be ecstatic. Ohio State is replacing a couple of starting cornerbacks, so a slower Coleman would certainly help the defense in that big matchup.

Texas fans have been touting his arrival as something that can help take the team to the next level. Now, fans are piling on him about looking slow. A few months ahead of the biggest matchup for Texas in the non-conference portion of the schedule, this looks bad.

Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby/Preakness/Belmont)

Just sayin': The "Horse From U.N.C.L.E." wins The Preakness.....:lol:

Napoleon Solo wins 151st Preakness Stakes

260516-preakness-ww-1623-28e210.avif


The horse, trained by Chad Summers, entered with 7-1 odds.

For all its history and tradition, the Preakness was expected to have a different feel this year. Golden Tempo, the Kentucky Derby winner, and Renegade, the Derby runner-up, were not slated to run the race. This was only the second time in 40 years that the top two Derby finishers had sat out.

The race was also being held at Laurel Park, in Laurel, Maryland, as Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course continues to undergo renovations. A field with no head-and-shoulders favorite? On a new track? Anything could happen.

Napoleon Solo, a horse that entered with 7-1 odds and had finished fifth in his last two races, won the Preakness on Saturday, overtaking the favorite Taj Mahal down the stretch while also holding off another strong contender, Iron Honor.

For Napoleon Solo’s trainer Chad Summers, this was his first Triple Crown win. “To come here with a horse that Mr. Gold allowed me to pick out for $40,000 and get the job done on a stage like this, it’s just unbelievable,” Summers said on the NBC telecast afterward, referring to Al Gold, the horse’s owner.

Iron Honor took second while Chip Honcho finished third.

2027 IL TE Brady Johnson (Northwestern Verbal)

Ohio State is going after a Big Ten opponent’s key recruit that is set to play college football with the son of Ryan Day

Ryan Day’s son recently committed to play football at a Big Ten program. Now, the Ohio State Buckeyes are trying to flip one of RJ Day’s future targets.

Ohio State is after a future teammate of RJ Day to try to pull off a flip

The Buckeyes’ coaching staff has been busy on the road recruiting and recently made a stop in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and offered a Northwestern commitment. Ohio State has extended an offer to 2027 three-star TE Brady Johnson, who has been committed to Northwestern since Feb. 4.

Asked if he would take an official visit to Ohio State, Johnson said, “As of right now, I think so. I am fully committed to Northwestern still though,” via Rivals.

Ohio State tight ends guru Keenan Bailey recently visited Johnson at home home and he clearly has the attention of the 6-foot-3, 220-pound tight end.

“I love him as a coach,” Johnson said, via Rivals. “He is a highly intelligent and energetic coach that hammers down on the little things. He expects the most out of his players and that they will give him the most back. He is someone you definitely want to play for as he gives everything he has to make you and the team better.”

Ohio State has plenty of work with the class of 2027 to get done with just 11 commitments at this time. The Buckeyes are still in search of their first tight end commitment for the class, so it makes sense that they’re turning up the heat on Johnson.

SF Anthony Thompson (Official Thread)

And has the expectations that come with such a HS pedigree. I'd be happy with him getting meaningful minutes, and making an impact when he's on the floor. There appears to be a good recruited base to this team, and flavored with rented players to fill in the gaps. So we'll see how well, Diebs plays his pieces. Here's to W's! Go Bucks!
Well this team is going to need a heck of a lot more from Anthony Thompson than to just play meaningful minutes and make an impact. For this team to reach its potential, Thompson needs to take over the Alpha role. With his height, length and agility, he's practically unguardable - the question-mark is how efficient he will be.

Ohio Stadium aka THE Horseshoe (Official Thread)

This would go crazy at night! I don’t care what the traditionalists say, marketing and branding is key to being king.

Login to view embedded media
I'm a traditionalist who understands that this helps recruiting, so I'm more than ok with it. The only time I've ever been annoyed by alt unis and such is for the Game.

Any of the home games vs former Pac 10 schools are the perfect time for alternates.

What kind of car do you drive?

Daughter still has her 2015 Subaru. Less than 40,000 miles (works from home, and no car in Chicago for four years). Anyway, she wants a new one, but hesitates to take on the payments. Kinda guessing she was hoping we'd kick in, but didn't whine/complain when did not. Runs like a top (Subaru didn't charge me last time took in, says no change since the last year), and only drives to stores for groceries. Took it to Indiana for cousin's holiday party, and not a hiccup.....if they're not costing you many dollars to keep running, keep the oil changed, and brake pads fresh.
