As we continue making our way to the Texas season, just 54 days between us and the Texas State matchup. We are back breaking down the depth chart of the Longhorns heading into the season. Weve made our way to a fascinating position group, the edge defenders. Colin Simmons is the leader and one of the best players in the country, but does Texas have the depth to fill the gaps?Here is the way I see the depth roughly breaking down this season:Starters: Colin Simmons and Lance JacksonColin Simmons is the best player in this unit and the best player on the team. Hes going to be the player offenses have at the top of their scouting reports each week. Hes going to be a force this season and I expect him to rack up another double-digit sack season. Lance Jackson will be on the other side as the true defensive end. He seems to be the perfect heir to Ethan Burkes spot, given his length and ability to play the run effectively. This is a duo that could be constantly taking over games for Texas this season.COLIN SIMMONS SACK ON 3RD DOWN!!! pic.twitter.com/PrdrRja5X7 Nash (@NashTalksTexas) October 18, 2025Consistent Contributors: Zina Umeozulu, Colton Vasek, Richard Wesley and Brad SpenceThere will be relatively constant rotation at this position, although dont expect Simmons off the field much. Zina Umeozulu seems to have had as good an offseason as anyone, earning the EDGE3 spot, backing up Colin Simmons. Colton Vasek, if healthy, is a fantastic backup option to Lance Jackson, but that has been a rather massive if in the past.It seems true freshman Richard Wesley has earned playing time, but there will likely still be a learning curve in the early parts of the season. If he can overcome that early in the season, he could factor in with Vasek, backing up Jackson. Brad Spence is another name to know, simply because hes too good to keep off the field and Texas will likely employ two LBs the majority of the time. I expect Spence to be used in possible NASCAR packages on long 3rd downs.ZINA UMEOZULU SACK. pic.twitter.com/5dJ2LpjHqT Justin Wells (@justinwells2424) September 13, 2025Specialty Options: Justus Terry, Jamarion Carlton and Smith OrogboFinally, I do see this trio as specialty options in certain situations. Justus Terry is listed as a DT and will play the majority of his time there. However, his length and athleticism could allow him to factor into the rotation at the defensive end spot. Jamarion Carlton is another freshman that has been impressive and could find the field later in the season at defensive end. Finally, Smith Orogbo is likely to see the least snaps of the group but could very well find time against Texas State and UTSA, and I believe hell shine when hes out there.The Texas DE/EDGE pipeline: Colin Simmons, Lance Jackson. Zina Umeozulu, Colton Vasek, Smith Orogbo, Richard Wesley, Jamarion Carlton, Brinley Tita, Cam Hall, Derwin Fields, JaBarrius Garror, and maybe one more if hes elite. Sheesh. Four bona fide NFL players at minimum. EricInsideTexas (@EricNahlin) June 12, 2026This group, to me, has one of the highest ceilings of any group on the team. Colin Simmons is a known-elite player off the edge. Lance Jackson could take the next step forward and become a top EDGE heading into 2027. Umeozulu and Vasek could take that next step forward and provide capable, experienced depth. Spence and Terry give them versatility to mess around with packages and alignment of the other EDGEs. Finally, Carlton, Wesley and Orogbo all bring remarkable athleticism to the table as freshmen.If you can guarantee Umeozulu, Jackson and Vasek play to their potential, this could be the most disruptive group in the country. The worry is if they miss the mark, it could be Colin Simmons needing to shoulder too much of the load. I expect the needed players to step up and the Texas pass rush to be one of the best in the country this season.This article originally appeared on Longhorns Wire: Countdown to Kickoff: Simmons, Jackson lead talented Texas EDGE group

A historic World Cup semifinal round is officially set.For the first time since FIFA introduced its world rankings in 1992, each of the top four ranked teams entering the tournament have reached the semifinals. Argentina (No. 1), Spain (No. 2), France (No. 3), and England (No. 4) were the highest ranked teams in the world before the opening match, and each nation has lived up to those expectations.France and Spain will square off on July 14 in Arlington, while England and Argentina meet the following day in Atlanta. The winners of each match will meet in the final on July 19 in East Rutherford.The semifinal field has also been just as remarkable from a betting standpoint. Before the tournament, Spain (+450), France (+450), England (+700), and Argentina (+900) all ranked among the five favorites to lift the trophy. The only pre-tournament top-five betting favorite not to reach the semifinals was Portugal (+700), making this one of the chalkiest final fours the World Cup has ever seen. Since 1994, this is the first World Cup in which all four semifinalists were below +1000 on the oddsboard before the tournament began. Below, we broke down all of the semifinalists back to the 1994 edition, as that was the first World Cup in which rankings were used. We additionally provided context on just how historic each of the 2026 semifinalists' runs have been. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.
