Teams from the West in the ACC and Pac-12 have experienced split fortunes in the first two weeks. Cal is rising as Stanford falls, while Washington State ascends and Oregon State descends.
The Texas Longhorns claimed their first victory of the 2025 season against the San Jose State Spartans in a dominant fashion. Room for improvement still exists across multiple areas, but specific players and groups came up big during Saturday’s matchup.
Before the spring football practices kicked off, Steve Sarkisian and his staff knew they would need to add someone to their tight end room. While they already had the talent, they lacked experience.
The Texas Longhorns are less than a month away from the start of the 2025 season, and the week one game against No. 2 Ohio State will see a few players making their debut for Texas.
Jack Endries, who left Cal this spring to play football at Texas, was a bit hesitant about doing this interview. “It’s hard to say anything because no matter what I say there’s going to be some people who take it as a dig,” Endries said.
The Texas Longhorns have gained 11 players from the transfer portal and lost 16. One of the most significant additions for the Longhorns was tight end Jack Endries from the California Golden Bears.
Cal tight end Jack Endries, who came to Berkeley as a walk-on but was Cal’s leading receiver this past season, is expected to enter the transfer portal, according to Pete Nakos of On3 Sports.
Cal tight end Jack Endries came to Berkeley as a walk-on, but Pro Football Focus recently ranked him as the second-best returning tight end in the country heading into 2025.
