Tracking Portal Entrants Across the Country *** Starting an ongoing thread for portal entrants this December and January. There will be a separate thread for Texas entrants, but this should provide an idea of which talent elsewhere is going to be on the move this offseason.

The vigor with which Texas addresses the wide receiver position in the transfer portal likely depends on the answer to one question. How much faith does Steve Sarkisian have in Ryan Wingo emerging as a bona fide No. 1 option for Arch Manning? Leading the Longhorns in receptions (50), receiving yards (770) and touchdown receptions (seven) en route to second-team All-SEC recognition from the league’s coaches constitutes a successful sophomore campaign through 12 games. Still, finishing the regular season with the second-most dropped passes among SEC wide receivers (Wingo’s seven are currently two behind Alabama’s Ryan Williams for the league high), which contributed to Manning suffering from 21 dropped passes, fourth-most among SEC quarterbacks and tied for 21st in FBS, according to Pro Football Focus. With his 50 catches coming on 87 targets (a 57.5 percent catch rate, according to PFF), Wingo’s 2025 season mirrors what Xavier Worthy went through in 2022. Worthy’s sophomore season saw him lead Texas with 59 receptions (on 113 targets for a catch rate of 52.2 percent), yards (757) and touchdowns (eight) and drops (seven). The 2024 first-round pick turned things around with an All-American season in 2023, with his 75 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns (two fewer dropped passes on six more targets from the previous season) helped the Longhorns win the Big 12 and reach the College Football Playoff. Will Wingo make the same kind of leap in his first draft-eligible season? — DeAndre Moore Jr.’s decision to jump to the NFL leaves a void in the slot (a team-high 216 snaps according to PFF) and opens a role as Manning’s go-to target in the intermediate passing game. According to PFF, Moore leads the Texas offense in receptions (14) and yards gained (229) when targeted from 10 to 19 yards down the field, accounting for 36.8 percent of the receptions (38) and 43 percent of the yards (522) he tallied in his final season with the Longhorns. In the intermediate game, Emmett Mosley V’s PFF season grade of 94.9 is higher than Moore’s (94). Mosley is a safe bet to rack up more than the 11 targets he got on intermediate throws. As for the workload in the slot, Sarkisian has to decide whether a portal acquisition would be an upgrade over a potential tandem of Daylan McCutcheon and Jermaine Bishop Jr. While Sarkisian can’t leave anything to chance in what’s expected to be Manning’s last season behind center, losing Trevor Goosby, Hero Kanu, Jelani McDonald or Quintrevion Wisner to the NFL could force Texas to use its available resources to shore up position groups with greater, more pressing needs. — With Liona Lefau leaving the program ahead of entering the transfer portal on Jan. 2, Ty’Anthony Smith is at the top of the list of the Longhorns who stand to gain the most leading up to and coming out of the Citrus Bowl against Michigan on New Year’s Eve. Smith ended the regular season with 364 snaps logged, according to PFF, recording the fifth-best season-long grade against the run (78.9, with PFF considering a grade of 70 to be above average) of any Longhorn defender. The Jasper product leads the team in forced fumbles (three) and missed tackles (12), showing how often he finds himself around the football. The latter should get better with experience, but the same must be true of Smith’s coverage ability for him to take the next step as a player. According to PFF, no Texas linebacker has been targeted this season more than Smith (33). Only Graceson Littleton and Jaylon Guilbeau have allowed more completions among Longhorn defensive players than Smith (26), who has allowed 244 yards (fourth-most on the team behind Guilbeau, Littleton and Lefau) and an NFL passer rating of 107.6 when targeted. With offensive play-callers looking to exploit the second level of the opposing defense when hunting favorable matchups, all linebackers are a liability in coverage in some way, shape or form. Nevertheless, Smith has the tools to be better in coverage than the numbers have shown this season. View full news story

Mini update on Hero Kanu Junior defensive tackle Hero Kanu is one of the key members of the Texas team weighing the decision of whether to return to Texas for a final season of college ball, or head off to the NFL Draft. OTF exchanged messages with a source very close to Kanu. "We are in talks right now with all." That meant Texas, and getting a feeling where the 6-foot-5, 300-pounder could project if he enters the draft. Kanu walked on Senior Day, but that was more because his family was in Austin from Germany vs. having a decision on leaving. When asking the source what was the timeline for a decision, there isn't a date locked in. Kanu posted 31 tackles and two sacks in 2025.

Who is Stepping Up for the Texas Portal Departures / NFL Draft Declarations *** Going position x position. Quarterback Departures: Trey Owens No change in the pecking order. Running Back Departures: CJ Baxter, Jerrick Gibson, Rickey Stewart Tre Wisner continues to take the most first team snaps in practice, no surprise there. The name I have heard the most about in the running back room is freshman Michael Terry III. Two sources have referenced a play from MT3 in practice where he juked a veteran Longhorn defensive back and drew the praise of the staff immediately after. Christian Clark has been the 2nd back up, followed by James Simon. Wide Receiver Departures: Aaron Butler, DeAndre Moore (NFL) Daylan McCutcheon is getting the reps in place of DeAndre Moore, and is doing well. I have yet to hear much about the other two freshmen, this month. Most people I have talked to around the program have voiced excitement for the 2026 season with the continuity of Mosley, Wingo, Livingstone and others with the Texas QB. Tight End Departures: None Nick Townsend and Emaree Winston have both been mentioned as freshmen taking advantage of the extra practices. We will see what movement comes in the next couple of days or weeks but overall, this room continues to development. Jordan Washington deserves mention as well. Offensive Line Departures: Connor Stroh These practices are huge for a Nate Kibble, Daniel Cruz and the freshmen. With the full offensive line still practicing, the first team reps have been few and far between for a number of second stringers. However, it would not come as a surprise should you see a Kibble or Cruz in for a series or two against Michigan. Brooks is priming to be OT3 for next season. Defensive Line Departures: Melvin Hills The two I have wanted to hear the most are Josiah Sharma and Myron Charles. I have not heard much about the defensive line in the month of December, but I have been told the 2026 season is setting up for Justus Terry to see a significant increase in snaps and impact. EDGE Departures: Ethan Burke (NFL) Lance Jackson is seeing action with the first team defense alongside Zina Umeozulu. The question becomes what is the future of Colton Vasek with Texas, especially with Richard Wesley arriving at the semester. Linebacker Departures: Liona Lefau, Trey Moore (NFL), Anthony Hill Jr. (NFL) It is Bo Barnes season! Perhaps no bigger benefactor than Barnes when it comes to departures and opt outs this December. TyAnthony Smith will be the voice of the defense come the Citrus Bowl with the green dot on his helmet, but it is Barnes who is seeing the largest increase in his role for the game. Cornerback Departures: Santana Wilson Still awaiting an NFL announcement from Malik Muhammad, but practice has been very beneficial for guys like Kobe Black and Warren Roberson. I've heard Wardell Mack remains practicing with the team after a portal report, could he still enter? Yes, but for now he is set on playing through the bowl game. Safety Departures: Derek Williams Jr., Michael Taaffe (NFL) This should be incredibly valuable snap opportunities for Jonah Williams. Williams was slightly dinged last week, but should be fine for the game at the end of the month. Xavier Filsaime continues to takes steps in the right direction as well. The athletic safety is learning more and more which should pay off in the long run. Zelus Hicks is one I am eagerly hoping to hear more about, just haven't had much passed along to me. Specialists For what it's worth, I am expecting Ryan Niblett to return in 2026.

Revisiting Preseason Positional Confidence Levels **** Came across an old tweet of mine that I had written and published right before the start of the season. It was basically, where do I feel the most confidence in each position group entering the season. Obviously, things did not go 100% according to my preseason predictions, but it wasn't entirely far off. By end of the year, quarterback certainly played into the top three position room conversation, but it took much longer than I anticipated getting there. Next, I don't think the safety room played as a top five unit in the second half of the season. Running back was too high originally as well. Let me explain the wide receiver spot – There was plenty of unknown and at the time no time table set for Emmett Mosley V in regards to his debut as a Longhorn. Parker Livingstone performed admirably when on the field. But altogether, there was plenty of unknowns entering the season. Let me know where you thought the positional results ended up in comparison to your preseason expectations. Who outperformed their ranks vs. who underperformed and left some meat on the bone.

Monday’s news of Liona Lefau’s departure from the Texas football program, along with DeAndre Moore Jr.’s intention to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft, is collateral damage amid the persistent roster volatility permeating throughout college football. The Longhorns planned to use the transfer portal to bolster the linebacker position before Lefau’s decision to enter the transfer portal went public. With Lefau’s production over 42 career games played and 22 starts gone, Texas will look for proven commodities to overhaul the second level of Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense. Moore, who wasn’t expected back on the Forty Acres in 2026, according to what team sources told On Texas Football in recent weeks, will join Lefau, Ethan Burke, Jaylon Guilbeau, Anthony Hill Jr., Trey Moore, Malik Muhammad and Michael Taaffe in opting out of the Citrus Bowl against Michigan in just over two weeks. Lefau’s decision to head into the portal, and Hill and Moore focusing on the draft, leaves Texas thin at linebacker for the bowl game, to say the least. The short-term pinch means a bigger role for Ty’Anthony Smith against the Wolverines, who lead the Big Ten with 32 rushing touchdowns, are second in the conference in yards per rushing attempt (5.51) and rank 16th nationally in rushing yards per game (213.2). Brad Spence could log more playing time at linebacker instead of as a pass rusher off the edge and, potentially, there could be more snaps available for Bo Barnes and Marshall Landwehr. For better or worse, that’s the price Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns are willing to pay to ensure they’ve got their ducks in a row long before the transfer portal officially opens for business on Jan. 2. Sarkisian didn’t want to outright say during his signing day press conference on Dec. 3 that following “an NFL draft model” is the best way to approach roster construction. Still, he laid out why the need to be fiscally responsible leads to tough calls on which players to acquire and retain. “You can only have so much money,” Sarkisian said. “There’s rules, there’s caps and we play within the confines of what the rules (are) that they put in place, so you’ve got to decide what’s the value at the position and what’s the value of certain players. When School B offers more money that’s outside of the value — it’s not endless. You can’t just keep throwing money on top of money on top of money. “We have to be very specific in (addressing) what are our needs, looking long term as well as short term, of where do you allocate that money?” Viewing the early signing window as the equivalent of the NFL draft (presumably, that would make the February signing period college football’s version of the supplemental draft, which is a fair comparison because it's becoming less relevant from one recruiting cycle to the next), Sarkisian said Texas landed some “elite first-round picks” in the 2026 class (Tyler Atkinson, Dia Bell, Jermaine Bishop and Richard Wesley are among those who look the part). He also made note of the Longhorns welcoming “high-level second, third and fourth-round picks” into the program ahead of his sixth season as head coach. Eventually, the newcomers become veterans on various career trajectories. Like NFL rookies, when their contracts are winding down and franchises must decide whether to extend them on longer, more lucrative second contracts or let them become unrestricted free agents, the rising third and fourth-year college players must accept their role for the coming season (even if it’s diminished and comes with a pay cut) or bet on themselves, either as a transfer or in the draft. Those are the discussions Texas and every other Power Four program eying a championship run are in the process of having with their players. The freedom of movement from which players benefit is the same mechanism that allows coaches to dictate the terms and conditions a player must accept to remain a part of the program. Between defections to the portal and NFL draft departures, only 10 of the 25 high school signees from the 2023 recruiting class are on track to be a part of the 2026 squad. Trevor Goosby, Jelani McDonald and Quintrevion Wisner are among the 10, meaning the number will go down should any of them declare for the draft. While the staff has a group of young players they’ll look to develop behind the scenes, the bulk of the roster movement ahead of what figures to be Arch Manning’s last season with the Longhorns will be moves the organization makes with an all-in mindset. It’s not ideal, and it can lead to decisions neither side of the table wants to make, but it’s the nature of the beast given college football’s current structure (or lack thereof).

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. View full news story

Update on Malakai Lee OnTexasFootball spoke with a source close to the recruitment of 4-star++ OT and Michigan signee Malakai Lee (Honolulu, Hi./Kamehameha). OTF believes Lee is around 75% or higher probability he will ask for his release from his LOI. Even though Michigan will be hiring a new staff, it's still unlikely he will stick with the Wolverines according to the source. OTF also believes Texas would be the most likely destination for Lee, barring a significant change. OTF will continue to monitor Lee's ultimate decision.

Trevor Goosby Update OnTexasFootball can report that it's currently better than 50-50 odds junior left tackle and All-SEC Trevor Goosby will return for one more season at Texas. Goosby and member of his circle had a meeting with S&C coach Torre Becton earlier this week, and a brief conversation with Steve Sarkisian. The family has also talked with Kyle Flood extensively this week, and last week. There will be a lengthier meeting next week with Sarkisian and staff members. Goosby does feel like there are still some things he would like to accomplish at Texas, and has a long term thought process to being a long term NFL player. The early NFL feedback has been anywhere mid-to-late first round to early second round. Which is intriguing, obviously. If OTF were placing odds today on Goosby's return, it would be around 60-40 or 65-35. Goosby's young brother, Austin Goosby, signed with the Longhorns in hoops in November.

Nuggets on the RB Spot *** Have been told freshman Michael Terry III has been working almost exclusively at the running back position since the regular season concluded. I had heard some buzz surrounding Terry's development as a receiver as the second half of the season had carried on, but now there is buzz about his ability in the backfield that has folks excited. With CJ Baxter and Jerrick Gibson in the portal, it would not come as a surprise if Terry saw a carry or two in the bowl game vs. Michigan. Right now, Christian Clark and James Simon remain in the room alongside Tre Wisner. Terry adds a 4th option. Will be interesting to follow. *** On the RB coaching search, I have heard Steve Sarkisian has narrowed down his candidates and that an announcement could come soon regarding the next running backs coach at The University of Texas. That's all I have for now. *** Offensive lineman Connor Stroh practiced Monday and Tuesday with the program, but following his portal entry, he was no longer present for the back half of the week at practice. Additionally, and to @Bobby Burton's point earlier in the week, it sounds like the full starting lineup remains at practice and plans to participate in some degree in the bowl game on December 31.

I have alluded to this over the past week or so, but I am monitoring a decision for DeAndre Moore. Based off of sourcing over the last month, the conversation surrounding Moore has settled on a departure, though the destination remains uncertain. The intel has flipped back and forth between an entrance to the portal and that of the NFL Draft. Right now, I lean Draft. Regardless, I am not expecting Moore back on the roster in 2026. Moore, a junior, started 11 games for Texas this season.

OTF on the road: 2027 commit Karnell James Manvel, Tx. - OnTexasFootball stopped by Manvel High today for the Mavericks athletic period. Of course, we wanted to bring the Texas fan base a look at James, plus gather info from the Manvel High staff on the 6-0.5, 175 pounder with a 77 inch wingspan. We’ll start with some pictures from the workout.

What Bruce Feldman said in one social media post encapsulated the growing angst toward the College Football Playoff Selection Committee. Upon the release of the committee’s penultimate rankings on Tuesday, the path to a third consecutive trip to the CFP for No. 13 Texas is, for all intents and purposes, a dead end. To get into the 12-team field, the Longhorns need Texas Tech to win the Big 12, Georgia to notch a landslide revenge victory over Alabama in the SEC title game and then hope the committee values the body of work Texas has put together throughout one of the toughest 12-game schedules any Power Four team had to navigate (LSU is the only bowl-eligible team ranked above the Longhorns in ESPN’s strength of schedule metric, which says Steve Sarkisian’s team played the eighth-toughest schedule in the country). That’s unlikely to happen because the committee, based on what committee chair Hunter Yurachek said on Tuesday’s post-reveal conference call with reporters, believes Texas’ 29-21 road loss to Florida on Oct. 4 is too big a blemish to overlook. “You’re spot on,” the Arkansas athletic director said when he was asked if the loss to the Gators is “the thing hurting Texas the most.” “The committee has a great deal of respect for Texas and they've played an incredible schedule,” he added. “They've got four teams they played in our top 10. They beat OU on a neutral field. They just beat Texas A&M at home this past weekend. They lost to No. 1, Ohio State, and lost to No. 3, Georgia. “But one key stat this week in the teams ranked in our top 15, there's 17 total losses for those teams. Sixteen of those losses came against teams that are currently ranked or have been ranked in our top 25 this year. The only loss to an unranked team was Texas' loss to Florida at Florida, and really Florida dominated that game — held Texas to 50 yards rushing, two interceptions. So, it's not that Texas played Ohio State. It is Texas' loss to Florida that's holding them back now.” We don’t need to read the tea leaves when the committee is shoving them down our throats. When it comes to Texas, the committee has decided that an objectively bad loss supercedes three wins over teams currently ranked in the committee’s top 15. That would be understandable had Yurachek’s words and the committee's actions done anything other than validate Feldman’s rant. The committee ranks teams as it wants, then works backward to make it make sense. How is Texas dinged for the Florida loss, but Alabama’s two-touchdown loss to a Florida State team that finished 5-7 after getting blown out by the Gators last Saturday doesn’t matter? Head-to-head results appear to matter for Oklahoma and Alabama (No. 8 and No. 9, respectively) and Texas and Vanderbilt (the Longhorns passed the 10-2 Commodores in the rankings). That's the case for No. 12 Miami, which opened the season with a win over No. 10 Notre Dame. Two weeks ago, Yuracheck said Oregon was still getting credit for a road win over Penn State. The same appears to apply to Oklahoma's road win over Tennessee and road wins over Missouri for Alabama and Texas A&M, the Aggies going into Baton Rouge and manhandling LSU and the Crimson Tide's Iron Bowl win over Auburn. Still, Yuracheck said on Tuesday that Vanderbilt lacks a signature win because LSU, Missouri and Tennessee aren’t currently ranked by the committee, even though Josh Heupel’s team fell out of the rankings after the Commodores’ 45-24 rout of the Volunteers in Neyland Stadium. The CFP selection process isn’t broken. It would’ve needed to be a well-oiled machine first, which was never the case. And although no system will ever be perfect, a transparent process that leaves more questions than answers isn't working. Bill Hancock was the executive director of the CFP from its inception through last season, when he helped Rich Clark transition into the role. In 2023, when a late-season injury to quarterback Jordan Travis put Florida State’s CFP hopes in doubt, Hancock clarified the selection committee’s criteria for setting the then-four-team field. “It is ‘best,’” Hancock said. “‘Most deserving’ is not anything in the committee's lexicon. They are to rank the best teams in order, and that's what they do. Just keep that word in mind, ‘best’ teams.” Therein lies the problem. Three wins over Associated Press top-five opponents and nine wins against one of the toughest schedules in the country should be a strong enough résumé for the Longhorns to be considered one of the seven best at-large teams. The committee clinging to the Florida loss to justify why Texas should be on the outside looking in is a prime example of how the selection process doesn't end with a bracket of the best teams. Don’t say you’re picking the best teams when Miami’s head-to-head win over Notre Dame, as of now, doesn’t matter. Don’t say you’re picking the best teams when Texas and Vanderbilt, both of whom went 6-2 in the toughest conference in the country, are likely headed to meaningless bowl games. At the same time, Sun Belt favorite James Madison and the winner of the AAC title game between North Texas and Tulane could be among the 12 teams left standing for a chance to win the national championship. Everyone loves the Cinderella story, but how (aside from the money that would go to the AAC and Sun Belt, respectively) is college football better for Group of Five teams getting sacrificed to a legit title contender from the Power Four? Don’t say you’re picking the best teams when the Longhorns, who played a tougher schedule than any of the other current CFP candidates, appear to be disqualified from consideration solely based on accruing three losses. Until the goalposts stop moving or the moment comes when the Big Ten and the SEC decide, by force, to dictate the terms of the CFP to the rest of college football (like it or not, it’s coming), we won’t get a field of the best teams deciding a national champion. We'll get whatever the committee decides it wants, criteria or guidelines be dammed. View full news story

OTF currently believes North Carolina has a better than 50-50 shot to flip Texas commit and 4-star+ DL Vodney Cleveland (Birmingham/Parker), currently. The early signing period begins next Wednesday.

Monday night Malakai Lee Members of the Texas staff spoke with Michigan verbal and 4-star++ OT Malakai Lee (Honolulu, Hi./Kamehameha) for a while again today. Texas continues to feel like there is a shot at the 6-6.5, 315 pounder with an 85-inch wingspan and 10.5 inch hands.

3 Stars of the Game vs. Texas A&M *** Star No. 1: Tre Wisner – Hard not to pick Wisner. For whatever the reason, he dominates against Texas A&M. A 155-yard performance on 19 rush attempts and a season-long 48-yard rush to kickoff the second half. Wisner was again very good and deserving of the game ball against Texas A&M. Star No. 2: Ethan Burke – This felt like a game early on where Ethan Burke was going to will his team to a win. The senior did just about everything and ended up blocking his second field goal attempt of the season in the first half when the offense was struggling to move the rock. Nine tackles, a TFL and a blocked field goal. Fantastic work. Star No. 3: Jack Endries – It probably has felt like a frustrating season for Endries in his first season as a Longhorn, but man did he end the regular season off strong. Four receptions for 93 yards and a massive 54-yard catch and run on the final play of the third quarter. HM1 Liona Lefau: No Anthony Hill Jr. No TyAnthony Smith for the first half, and it didn't matter. Lefau was superb for the Longhorns. HM2 Trevor Goosby: One pressure allowed on Friday night while facing one of the SEC's leading pass rushers in Cashius Howell. That was teach tape for the big time LT.

The end of the regular season has arrived, as has the final AP Top 25 before conference championship season. Texas comes in ranked No. 14. *** Ohio State Indiana Georgia Oregon Texas Tech Ole Miss Texas A&M Oklahoma Notre Dame Alabama BYU Miami Vanderbilt Texas Utah Virginia USC Michigan James Madison North Texas Tulane Arizona Navy Georgia Tech Missouri

Another flip!! A fourth flip in the last week goes the way of the Texas Longhorns! This time, it is Temple EDGE/DL Jamarion Carlton, who had committed to Baylor over the summer. The Longhorns had hosted Carlton on campus three different times in the last month and sure enough, those efforts were enough to flip the 6-foot-5inch defensive lineman to the Horns. Carlton was heavily recruited by LaAllen Clark in the spring, got on campus for an official visit and after a brief stint being committed to Baylor, he ends up joining the Texas class. Big time addition for the Horns on the defensive side of the ball here. View full news story

For anyone wondering ... Jamarion Carlton is definitely going to be a 5-tech, and long limb 3-tech down the line. On a November visit to Texas ... he weighed 281 pounds. Texas staff expects him to carry over 300 pounds in time, and maybe fairly quickly.
