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.

Absolutely.

Moore was a model teammate and program guy. A fantastic competitor.

@Gerry Hamilton has always maintained he was a better athlete than his role on the field may have shown. Wouldn’t shock me if his combine/pro day numbers are pretty darn good.

I’m calling here now, Taaffe will be coaching at Texas one day when his football career is done.

I hope so. The program needs him around

Kanu coming back would be huge imo. 
 

Also, is Muhammad really getting looks from the NFL. Maybe I haven’t paid enough attention but he sure does seem to be in the NFL mold.

Kanu returning would be great. 

And yes, Muhammad will be a day two guy most likely

Muhammed has seemed to be a shutdown corner since he was a freshman. What is preventing him from being a day 1 pick

Speed. Will be a big question mark for him and Taaffee

With Moore is it Texas not wanting him back if he decided to stay in school?  Or is it Moore not wanting to come back to Texas?

Lack of interceptions / plays on the ball at the point of the catch

I also think it's wise that we remember that we have actual players' family members as part of our OTF family. When we discuss these kids and their performances, their decisions and futures, we have to do so in a respectful and human way. We love all the kids... no matter what the box score says, because at the end of the day, we all understand, on some level, the amount of sacrifice and hard work these young men and their families put in, as a collective, to even receive the offer of responsibility to represent the state at its flagship program. 

 

This is one of the main reasons I'm proud to be a member of this community. Let's continue to be gracious as these kids and families make some of the toughest decisions they'll make in life.🤘🏿🔥

What am I missing on Moore? Is this NIL related? Wanting more than worth or what?

Saw his playing time deminish with Parker Livingston basically becoming the 3rd WR on the team
