Baugh, game changing back both in the run and passing game

Sneaky good answer. Would be huge if Goosby leaves, but even if not Baker could kick in to guard and probably be better than most portal options there.

Heard, OL from Tennessee

Waiting on two of the top two lineman in the portal. Sorry I know you said one.

Can he block?

Matthew Golden and AD Mitchell. Mitchell took all season to learn to block on the perimeter (which let’s be honest, he never really did well by the end of the year) as for golden, he really didn’t become the go to guy until midway through the year. Both had success here don’t get me wrong and obviously were drafted high, but both also had the benefit of playing in either completely different conference or had a much easer SEC schedule than what 2026 will look like. How many times does the OTF crew bring up the importance of learning this scheme as a WR and learning to BLOCK on the perimeter?

What are you talking about? AD Mitchell and Matthew Golden were KEY players to Texas making playoff runs. You can make the argument Coleman may be better than both.

Who exactly are you referring to?

I'll go with Baugh or someone as close to him as we can get. After watching Indiana yesterday and Georgia all year, I'm convinced that a power running game will get us to another level.

We’ve had GREAT receivers come in and take more than half the season to truly learn the offense and then get rolling. Cam Coleman would be no different. The 2026 schedule is not one to use as a “learning,” year.

Uhhh, @Bobby Burton, I think the thread has been infiltrated by a robot.

Cam Coleman is just a much better player than him. It's not really close either.

I second Scudero! I think he will be really good for someone next year!

Well since the portal entrants overall are mediocre at best, the simple answer is going with a guy who doesn’t need a year to learn the offense. Parker Livingstone.

The linebacker from Auburn. Position is super light on numbers. And unless Ty Smith puts on some good weight, we need another thumper with experience to play the run the entire season.

Za’Lance Heard. Too expensive for the value he provides our team though.

Scudero. I don't like most of the linemen in the portal right now. i feel like he provides a different skillset than what we have and we know he can play because he did fine against us.

Coleman. Easy answer, but its the right answer. If you stack up every player in the portal, he is probably the most special player at his position.

Any OL with a pulse

I might be in the minority here, but I’m going with the Arkansas DT. There just aren’t that many massive, space-eating DTs that can move well walking the face of the earth. I have no doubt that we will find really really good players at IOL, WR, RB, LB, and secondary. But there aren’t too many guys like him who can add exactly what Texas needs at a critical position of need.

I agree. Barnes, Smith, and Atkinson is an excellent start. Need another vet maybe starter level. Would like to see Spence stay at edge. The Michigan running game misdirection had him lost in the sauce off ball.

If you could wave a magic wand and Texas get ONE specific player that’s in the portal… who would it be? Only one. They have to be in the portal/have announced their intentions to enter the portal Who yall taking? Who helps Texas the most?

I think Spence has a chance to be one of the better LBs in the country next year. He is a good football player and an underrated athlete. Smith, Spence, Barnes, Atkinson, plus portal LBs (two I hope) is a pretty solid group.

I like to imagine,tyanthony and Atkinson, causing all kinds of havoc next year.hook em

I believe it was reported he is gone. But if it isn't official yet, you are correct.
