2026 Texas Longhorns Recruiting / Team News Thread

[Blake]

Is this you waving bye at Tech's playoff chances if BYU gets them on Saturday?

Lol. I've suffered with letdowns plenty of times before. I'll be back. Just like everyone here after the loss to Florida.

Carter has had a Texas offer for a long time and just de-committed from A&M, but haven't seen anything yet about him trying to get to Austin.

I haven't seen anything yet, but wondering if Texas tries to get back in on this one.

They should be fine.

[Blake]

They should be fine.

I think so. I like that BYU has a freshman QB. I expect many sacks, a few INTs and maybe throw in a forced fumble or 2.

IT has been reporting that Texas is communicating with Bey quite a bit lately.

Texas offered today.

Worth mentioning Bey took an official visit to Ohio State last weekend.

He likes Texas a lot, but the staff has to battle now after waiting to offer.

[TFloss32]

IT had a quick breakdown on which way certain Texas players are leaning as far as the NFL Draft.

LB Anthony Hill, Jr. and CB Malik Muhammad are clearly going, and S Jelani McDonald is likely to go.

As far as those likely to return, they listed OL Trevor Goosby, DT Hero Kanu, WR DeAndre Moore, Jr. and RB Tre Wisner.

[TFloss32]

OTF wrote that Sark and his personnel staff are "prepping diligently" for the offseason as far as roster retention and construction, including scouring the JUCO ranks.

I think they understand they weren't active enough, to say the least, last year and it came back to bite them in certain areas.

Hamilton says there are at least four JUCO names he's aware of currently, but hasn't released them.

247's JUCO rankings are below if you want to check them out.

Texas is working to get DT Rich Anderson of New Orleans, LA in Austin for the Arkansas game, per OTF.

Certain coaches are expected to go by his school today.

They're also attempting to get CB Havon Finney of Chatsworth, CA on campus that same weekend.

IT believes Anderson's teammates, CB Hayward Howard, Jr. and S Aiden Hall, will be with him if he makes it to Austin.

Howard, Jr. is a good "in" for the staff to have, and they offered Hall a long time ago before he chose LSU.
