We broke tons of records last year, and/or broke into the top 10 statistically. Let's continue this trend in 2025.



Joey Aguilar is a good candidate to break into the top 10 in single-season passing yards.
He needs 2,946 yards to tie Joshua Dobbs ('16) at #10 all-time.​
Will update after Game 1

  • The most pick-sixes by a UT Player in a game is 1.

We only had 7 picks as a defense last year? McCoy had 4 and I remember Arion got one in the Florida game, if Brooks had 4, then that’s at least 9 interceptions

What makes Aguilar a good candidate for all those top tens? Optimism ?

He has the physical tools. He is in a system that simplifies decision making for the QB. He is surrounded by more talent than he ever has been before. I believe being in a system like ours will help with his perceived turnover issues. If he has a year like Nico did last year or improves at all, I think we could very easily win 9+ games.

He's also playing against faster, better defenses than he's ever seen. He's learning a new playbook that he's never known. He's only had a short period of time to even know his teammates (the talent surrounding him). He's joining an offense that's run first. Seems like we should play a down of football with the guy before the hyperbole starts and we start a countdown thread to greatness. He may not even be the starter at game 4 for all we know.

He plays against our defense everyday at practice. He will be fine.
