Just now:A warning by SEC to the Longhorns stating they have to step up there game these season or else they will lose there star players like …..

 

 

The SEC doesn’t hand out respect—it demands it. And this year, the message aimed squarely at the Texas Longhorns is crystal clear: it’s time to prove you belong, or risk losing everything you’ve built. With Texas entering the SEC in full force, the pressure has never been more intense. Coach Steve Sarkisian, who has brought flashes of brilliance to Austin, now finds himself in the hot seat—not because of failure, but because the stakes have been raised.

 

Gone are the days of mediocrity being acceptable. The Longhorns are no longer in the Big 12 comfort zone—they’re stepping into the most brutal, competitive, and ruthless football conference in the nation. And the SEC is watching closely. The warning is simple: if Texas doesn’t start producing results—real wins, signature victories, and consistent dominance—they won’t just lose games. They’ll lose players. Big ones.

 

At the center of the storm is Arch Manning, the highly touted quarterback and member of football royalty. While he’s been patient, developing behind starter Quinn Ewers, the expectation is that his time is coming—soon. But top-tier athletes don’t wait forever. If Texas stumbles and fails to show real progress, other elite programs could start knocking. And Arch won’t be the only one listening.

 

Quinn Ewers, with his cannon arm and NFL potential, has shown he can shine when given the right scheme and support. But how long can he afford to stay in a system that doesn’t win at the highest level? Add to that dynamic playmakers like wide receiver Xavier Worthy and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, both of whom are already being watched closely by NFL scouts. If Texas doesn’t start showing it can compete with the SEC elite—think Alabama, Georgia, LSU—these stars could begin looking elsewhere for development and exposure.

 

Coach Sarkisian has the talent. He has the facilities. He has the backing of one of college football’s richest programs. But what he doesn’t have is time. The 2025 season may be the most pivotal in modern Longhorn history. Texas must not only compete—they must win. Because if they don’t, the fallout could be massive: the departure of key players, the erosion of confidence, and the loss of a golden opportunity to restore a fallen giant to its former glory.
