Texas will start spring football practice the week of March 17 but won’t have a spring game. Coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed the change during an interview with Kay Adams on the “Up and Adams” show. Sarkisian said it makes more sense to go to a more NFL-type approach and have the OTA style early and then more scrimmages later in the 15 days of spring practice that is allowed.

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian made a firm decision on the questions surrounding the annual spring game.

According to head coach Steve Sarkisian, his program will pass on hosting a spring game ahead of next season to better focus on preparing a roster of new players for the 2025 season, meaning the next time the Longhorns will take the field will be in late August against Ohio State in Columbus.
