Projecting out 2026 Starting 22 (with key rotation)

[TexasFanatic]

QB - Arch 

RB - Portal or Wisner/ Simon / Cooper (Baxter is pushed out and Wisner is tbd on NFL)

WR - Portal (Texas has to get a legit WR1 or maybe even 2 if they want to maximize Arch)

WR - Mosley (Moore goes to the portal) 

WR - Wingo (he’s a JAG but when he is on he is awesome- needs to work on his hands and route running)

TE - Endries / Townsend (Washington portals) 

LT - Goosby 

LG - Portal 

C - Robertson 

RG - Portal 

RT - Baker

Edge - Simmons

SAM - Spence 

DT - Kanu / Terry 

DT - January / Watson 

Jack - Jackson / Zina 

LB - Lefau / Portal 

LB - Smith or Spence / Atkinson 

CB - Littleton 

CB - Phillips or Black

NB - Portal 

S - McDonald 

S - Filsaime / Portal 

FYI I am aware portal players will be added and we rotate a lot. I think we add another Portal CB and a DT from the portal too

I like Kade Phillips taking that CB spot over Kobe Black. I also like Warren Roberson's physicality in the rotation if he can put it all together... time will tell.

I think this is realistic base as we head toward the offseason.

The portal ignites the imagination.

[Steamboat Willie]

So there will be no development on offense of current players?

[John F.]

Moore to the portal would be surprising 

[Rick]

I think Endries goes pro and Washington stays.

Going to be interesting to see who Texas pushes to retain and who they allow walk.

This isn't to sound alarm bells, but I could see 15 or so departures this year. Texas had 13 a year ago, I would suspect it to be a little bigger this offseason.

I was thinking 20 departures

Could be, 15 probably the floor

a few names that may come as surprises, but we’re still a ways away from the portal opening.
