Not surprised about this at all. Time to accept that we’re rolling with some unproven commodities on the OL that were highly touted and have a high ceiling. LFG Hook’emΒ

Don’t forget that there could still be some Grad Transfers and Portal additions. Sky isn’t falling because they haven’t found right fit at a guard position yet,,,

Small excerpt from a much longer post:Β 

Offensive Line

There is no avoiding this conversation. Sarkisian said it himself: β€œI think the offensive line is something that we’re going to address in the portal.” Everyone understood the offensive line was Texas’ weakest unit in 2025 and the position most in need of immediate upgrades.

Texas needed to attack this spot with the same urgency it previously showed when pursuing defensive linemen. Interior players who represented clear, instant upgrades were the goal.

So far, the inability to significantly upgrade the offensive line through the portal has been a major disappointment. Texas missed on every elite target it pursued. Bodies were added, but none who check the boxes the way Coleman, Brown, or Smoothers do.

The only remaining hope is a last-second Hail Mary involving an offensive lineman from Indiana or Miami. Out of respect for the players Texas did sign, an F feels harsh. That said, it is hard to argue with anyone who lands there.

Transfer portal grade:Β D

I remember when his name got thrown around, that I was saying the reports seem to suggest he would stick with Indiana. I'm sure teams tried to woo him but Indiana has done really well in the portal and retained their coaches. I expect they'll be in the mix again in 2026.Β 

With our OL, we're just going to have trust in what we got. It's that simple at this point. Yes they missed one some IOL guys and couldn't woo other guys into the portal but it is what it is at this point.Β
