Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian announced Thursday that the Longhorns will not hold a Spring Game in 2025.

Sarkisian revealed the news while talking with Kay Adams. Per SDS:

quote:
“A couple reasons why. Over the last 2 years, we’ve played 30 games and that’s a lot for college football. (Texas played) 14 two years ago, 16 this year. And we’ve had 25 guys get invited to the NFL Combine the last 2 years, so we’ve got a lot of young players on our roster. We’ve got 21 mid-year high school players that just showed up. The development that’s needed for these guys to get ready for the fall is a little bit different than it used to be.

“So, our approach is going to be a little bit more NFL-driven, kind of an OTA-style early on and then as we grow into more of the scrimmage formats in the second half of spring ball, I just don’t know that rolling the ball out, playing the game when we only get 15 practices is the best for us to maximize opportunities that we get.”
