Decisions Loom For Texas Players + Sarkisian's Staff (Sunday 12:45 pm)

Decisions Looming in December

***

December is for decisions. 

That article was written last week. While little has changed since then, I wanted to provide a Sunday update with another round of decisions and announcements expected in the coming week.

NFL Decisions

A couple of Longhorns we are monitoring who will have NFL decisions to make.

• RB Tre Wisner

I have heard both ways for Wisner – pro or returning to Austin. I ever so slightly believe Wisner will return, but we will have to wait for a formal announcement.

• WR DeAndre Moore

It is either the NFL Draft or the transfer portal for DeAndre Moore based off of everything I have gathered over the last month. Right now, the NFL is the likely destination.

• LT Trevor Goosby

Our @Gerry Hamilton had a great update on Goosby late last week, and I have no reason to think differently. 

• C Connor Robertson

Not as much of a true NFL decision, but one will need to be made for Texas and Robertson. I think Texas would like have Robertson back for 2026, but as of now I can't handicap the likelihood of that possibility.

• DL Hero Kanu

A very under the radar decision that could end up having massive implications for the construction and performance of the 2026 roster. With where things sit currently, I would have Kanu returning at a 70–30 clip.

• DB Jelani McDonald

The belief around McDonald's camp is that a strong 2026 season could leave him in a position to be selected in the top 50 of the 2027 NFL Draft. I feel very confident about McDonald returning for next fall as of typing this.

• CB Malik Muhammad

The pros are calling Muhammad's name! The South Oak Cliff product will successfully depart as a 3-and-done player at Texas.

Staff Decisions

Steve Sarkisian has already made a move at one position coach spot, with the quick hiring of Jabbar Juluke out of Florida.

That will not be the final coaching change. In fact, I believe a couple of changes are still to come, though the timing of those changes or movements will come following the bowl game against Michigan.
