Longhorn Republic

The Texas Longhorns held their 2025 Pro Day over the weekend, giving NFL Scouts an opportunity to check out the talent they hope to send to the NFL. With the NFL Draft rapidly approaching, we reached out to Ryan McCrystal of Sharp Football Analysis to help us dive in on where your favorite draft-eligible Longhorns might end up.

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns had two very different games in the Sweet 16 and the Elite 8, but they managed to come away with wins in both to advance to the final weekend of the tournament. The high-powered Tennessee Volunteers hung with Texas late and Texas had to weather a late wave, while they put the clamps on TCU and rode tough defense to the Final Four.

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns did what they needed to do in the Women’s NCAA Tournament, cruising past their first two opponents and making it easily to the second weekend of the tournament. They now have to take on a team that pushed them in the regular season, No. 20 Tennessee, coming off an upset win over Ohio State. After the men made the earliest-possible exit from the tournament, they made the decision to part ways with Rodney Terry and hire the man who booted him from the field — former Xavier coach Sean Miller.

Both the women and the men will be representing the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, albeit on two very different paths. The ladies make the tournament as one of the top seeds, hosting the first two rounds in Austin, with a clear shot at the Final Four and beyond. The men will have a longer path, sitting as one of the First Four games of the tournament, needing a win to make the field of 64.

The Texas Longhorns entered the tournament as the No. 1 team in the country but the No. 2 team in the tournament, facing a tough road to face off against South Carolina for the third time this season. That road took its toll on the Longhorns and they came up short in the championship game. Elsewhere, the softball team brought its big bats with them to Ohio and dominated opponents from the plate and from the circle. The baseball team also got things going, with the pitching seeming to find its rhythm in a sweep of the weekend.
