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.”

spring game leads to transfers. Why give teams free tape on your young guys to see who's developed and who is looking for more PT.

Good move. Spring injuries are awful.
