If anyone has lingering concerns about Arch Manning’s postseason foot surgery impacting his availability or effectiveness as QB1 for the Texas Longhorns in 2026, Steve Sarkisian set the record straight on Tuesday. “People are overreacting way too much to this,” Sarkisian said during a live radio interview with Craig Way on Austin’s AM 1300 The Zone. “The guy had a foot issue that we had to get fixed that we didn’t want to do last year, obviously, right before the season and/or during the se

Recruiting. It hasn’t been front of mind for many given spring training just closed, but it is really starting to heat up behind the scenes. Texas sits at nine commitments. That’s a solid amount. Yet with the month of April coming to an end, we will likely see that number at least double in the next 60 days. So naturally, recruiting is a primary focus inside the building. A few recruits will make decisions in the next 15-30 days, while most are targeting a June decision.

Texas offensive lineman DJ Campbell was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 200 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Campbell is the third Longhorn picked by the Dolphins in this year's draft, joining linebacker Trey Moore (fourth round, No. 130 overall) and safety Michael Taaffe (fifth round, No. 158 overall). Campbell, a former five-star recruit from Arlington (Texas) Bowie, started 43 games over the course of his career at right guard, providing the veteran pres

Texas safety Michael Taaffe was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 158 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday. The former walk-on turned All-American put together a storybook career in Austin over the course of five years. In all, Taaffe recorded 222 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, 21 pass breakups and seven interceptions, including a pair of picks in back-to-back years against Texas A&M, fittingly enough. Taaffe started 36 games, a

Texas linebacker Trey Moore was selected by the Miami Dolphins with pick No. 130 overall in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday. Moore, a product of Smithson Valley High School, split his career between UTSA and Texas, playing his final two seasons with the Longhorns. In all, Moore had 71 tackles, including 15.5 tackles for a loss, and 9.5 sacks in his two seasons in Burnt Orange. Moore is the second linebacker to be selected from Texas this draft, after Anthony Hil

Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad is off the board on Saturday, as the Chicago Bears picked the Longhorns cornerback with the 124th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Muhammad, a three-year contributor for Texas, played in 39 career games, starting two games a freshman, all 16 as a sophomore, and nine as a junior. The Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff product compiled 97 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for a loss, a sack, 19 pass breakups, and three interceptions over the cou

Including last Saturday’s open practice, five Longhorns are trending in the right direction coming out of spring football. I’m not predicting that these players will start for Texas in 2026 or have significant roles. Still, there are five Longhorns whose stock has gone up relative to where I thought it was when spring practice began in March.   Kobe Black, CB, Jr. I didn’t expect Black to end spring practice ahead of Kade Phillips at the cornerback spot opposite of Bo Mascoe.

With spring practice in the books, it's time for a snapshot of the 2026 Texas depth chart. This is a combination of where guys stood at the end of spring practice and projections of how players who missed portions of spring football will fall in the pecking order when they're back to 100 percent. The On Texas Football staff didn't put the four incoming summer transfers (Laurence Seymore and Paris Patterson Jr. on the offensive line, linebacker Darius Snow and defensive back Nick Hudson) on

AUSTIN, Texas — As is the case with most spring games, regardless of the format, there wasn’t enough on display in Saturday’s open practice to draw finite conclusions about the Texas Longhorns in 2026. Still, what could be gleaned from a thud tempo scrimmage on a cold, dreary day at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium answered a few questions on a day when the curtain fell on a productive spring for Steve Sarkisian’s program. And, obviously, there are also things we won’t know about until Texas ki
