Mason Shipley is back on 3rd & Longhorn for his second appearance, and this time we go long-form as he closes the chapter on Texas Football and turns the page to the NFL Combine specialist showcase and the NFL Draft. We talk about the path that brought him from Oklahoma State → Texas State → Texas, what it was like playing for special teams maestro Jeff Banks, and how the specialist unit took pride in helping win games down the stretch. Mason also breaks down the details fans don’t always hear about, including kickoff strategy, how he approaches pressure kicks, and what changes when you start working with an NFL ball. Plus: the story behind his big moments, his training routine with his snapper and holder, and yes… the legendary discussion of the “sweet spot” and the sound a perfect strike makes.

Jelani McDonald joins 3rd & Longhorn for an in-depth conversation from the North End Zone trophy room at DKR. One of the most electric athletes on Texas’ defense, McDonald breaks down his journey to the Forty Acres, why he took a leap of faith to flip his commitment to Texas, and what it was like running out in front of 105,000 fans for the first time. Jelani dives into his transition from high school quarterback to a multi-position defensive weapon, playing four different roles in the secondary, and how studying the game has helped him become a true playmaker. He also walks us through his jaw-dropping interception against Kentucky, discusses learning from veteran DBs, and shares what it’s like being coached by DBU legend Pete Kwiatkowski’s staff. We also talk athleticism, vertical jumps, playing offense vs. defense, the meaning behind wearing No. 4, and the mindset that allows him to just play fast and free. Note: This interview was recorded prior to Jelani’s announcement that he will be returning to Texas rather than entering the NFL Draft.

On this episode of 3rd & Longhorn, we sit down with Texas Long Snapper Lance St. Louis for an in-depth look at one of the most overlooked and demanding roles in football. Lance breaks down his unique recruiting journey from Arizona to the Forty Acres, how specialist camps and performance data helped put him on the radar, and why long snapping is as much mental as it is physical. He explains snap velocity, consistency, timing, and how he once clocked a 40 mph snap to win a national speed competition. We also dive into the science behind his craft, including how ball rotation, spin, and distance affect laces placement, what it is like flipping the switch from calm precision to full-speed coverage on punts, and why preparation and visualization matter more than volume reps. If you want a true behind-the-scenes look at special teams, pressure moments, and the mindset required when every snap matters, this is a conversation you do not want to miss.
