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 presence on the O-line after roster turnover ahead of the 2025 season. Campbell is the fifth offensive lineman drafted from the Longhorns in recent years, joining Kelvin Banks, Hayden Conner and Cam Williams in 2025, and Christian Jones in 2024.

DJ Campbell becomes the fifth Longhorn drafted, going to the Dolphins with pick No. 200 overall in the sixth round.

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, appearing in 53 overall. He earned Second-Team AP All-American honors for his 2024 efforts. The Austin Westlake product opted to come back for one more season in 2025 to help Texas try and get back to the College Football Playoff. He’s the fifth Texas defensive back to be selected over the last three drafts, joining Malik Muhammad earlier in the day, Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba in 2025, and Ryan Watts in 2024.

Jack Endries is either the best or second-best tight end left on the board.

We’re into the fifth round.

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 Hill Jr. was picked by the Tennessee Titans in the second round. Moore joins Hill, DeMarvion Overshown and Jaylan Ford as the fourth linebacker drafted out of Texas since Steve Sarkisian took over in Austin in 2021. Hank South contributed to this report.

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 course of his career in Burnt Orange. “Texas has prepared me very well, like overly prepared,” Muhammad said after his Texas Pro Day workout. “The program that Sark runs is like a pro program when it comes to time management, the structure of our day, the way we practice, the way we lift weights, the way we run. And then he just preaches to us about being a great person and a great man, whether you’re a husband, a father, a brother, a teammate, anyway possible, he just preaches about being a great man. Texas has definitely prepared us for these moments.” The former four-star recruit is the fourth defensive back to get drafted from Texas over the last three drafts, joining Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba in 2025 and Ryan Watts in 2024.

Cade Klubnik to the Jets in the fourth round. I honestly didn’t think five quarterbacks would be off the board by this point.

By Aggie logic, Texas can claim Brenen Thompson, who just went No. 105 overall to the Chargers.

The fourth round is underway.

FINAL: Texas 11, Vanderbilt 4

End of 8: Texas 11, Vanderbilt 4

Shouldn’t have needed to use Cozart tonight.

Vanderbilt makes a pitching change in the top of the eighth. Texas has the bases loaded with one out.

End of 7: Texas 11, Vanderbilt 4
