Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Malakai Lee: The Hawaiian native and Michigan signee is looking at getting out of his LOI, source tells IT. Lee wants to see who Michigan might hire over the next few weeks, but the source indicated he’s trending on his release. Texas would certainly have interest and we continue to check all angles in this recruitment.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
IT with the likelihood a handful of players return Potential Transfer Players WR DeAndre Moore: IT thinks it’s likely the junior receiver will test his best financial option, whether that’s through the portal or the NFL Draft. This would be one of those tough choices for Sark, as Moore is held in a favorable light within the program. Percentage: 20% OL Connor Robertson: After finally getting real playing time, we’ve wondered if he’ll give up the sport or come back for one more season. After the A&M win, he looked somewhat satisfied with the way the year played out. We think Texas is working to keep him, however. Percentage: 40% OL Nate Kibble: IT had heard the young guard would test his options in the portal, but the staff has done a great job of explaining the big picture to him. He is in their plans. Percentage: 85% Edge Colton Vasek: There’s been a lot of talk about the local Edge entering the portal, but he is still practicing. Does that have something to do with Ethan Burke not playing? That gives him the chance for more snaps and perhaps to increase his transfer value. Or is he simply staying? I have not received great recent intel on his intentions. He’s a talented player but snakebitten when it comes to injuries. Percentage: 50% CB Kobe Black: The A&M game and thinning of the depth chart has Black’s return on a good trend line. Percentage: 85% CB Wardell Mack: The fact he’s still practicing gives Texas a chance to keep him, I suppose, but a coaching change, at minimum, likely needs to happen to have a chance. I hope he sticks because they’ve invested a lot of time in preparing him for Star/nickel. Percentage: 25% There could be more players in question, but these are the ones we’re focused on. I don’t have a great feel for the tight ends. We’ve heard Will Randle will transfer, but everything else has been quiet. Potential NFL Players OL Trevor Goosby: Texas has been preparing to keep Goosby all season. Everyone knows the importance of securing Manning’s blindside for next season and Goosby stands to benefit substantially from another year. He’s still a young guy. Percentage: 70% DT Hero Kanu: He’s made strong relationships in his short time at Texas and played well in his first year. Texas has a great selling point of developing older D-tackles and improving their draft slot. That is resonating. Percentage: 75% S Jelani McDonald: He understands if he returns he can be the first safety off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft. Texas knows getting him back is imperative. This one makes too much sense for both parties. Percentage: 75%

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
IT with the likelihood a few coaches return WR Chris Jackson: Jackson’s contract is up at the end of this season, and we’ve heard of no attempts to re-sign him. That doesn’t mean it isn’t happening or will happen in the coming weeks, but it’s a bit odd we’re at this point. It seems to foreshadow a coaching change. Percentage: 25% OL Kyle Flood: You can stop scrolling now. With Texas bringing in a new running backs coach, and likely a new wide receivers coach, will Sark make a change on the offensive line? That’s a pretty big reset ahead of a massive season. While we’ve heard of Flood’s agents putting feelers out in a couple of cases, our most recent information, largely based on connecting portal “dots,” makes it seem like he’ll be back. Percentage: 60% S Duane Akina: We hear he’s going to be replaced and options are being researched. It makes zero sense for him to return. Percentage: 10%

Texas at UCONN- 7pm on FOX
I’ll hold out hope that the SEC taking a small step back from last year overall will keep us in the fight the next few months but my confidence is low. I like what Miller is doing in recruiting and we really do look better coached (low bar I know), but just hope this year doesn’t burn up too much goodwill.

I don't think Williams was ever getting feedback this high. He also had the knee injury during the draft process and seemed more raw than Goosby. Isn't this supposed to be a weaker OT draft class?

IT posted some more portal/NFL notes: -Nate Kibble and Kobe Black are expected to stay -Colton Vasek was leaning towards leaving but now they consider it a toss up -Still believe Kanu, Endries and McDonald are likely to return - No more departures expected in the safety room aside from Derek Williams -"On Wardell Mack, Texas thinks he’ll stay. I stand by my reporting by saying that hasn’t been the plan, but things could change with him having a clearly defined role and a change in leadership in that room."

Cross posting from the bowl game thread: Nahlin reporting Hill, Trey Moore, Guilbeau, Burke, Muhammad and Taaffe are all opting out of the bowl game. Everyone else is currently practicing and expected to play, including Kanu, McDonald, Endries and Goosby. Said that doesn’t mean they are locks to return but it is a positive data point. DeAndre Moore is nursing a minor injury but is also expected to play.

Most hires are going to be guys a coach has worked with previously or has a connection to. If it's not one of those two, it's a recommendation from someone they trust (Banks recommending Chris Jackson since they played together, etc.)

Poster on their 247 board: I've got it in pretty good authority that Nansen wants the job, and is talking to former players about joining him on staff. That's directly from one of the coaches Nansen is gauging interest in joining him in Pullman.

FCB with a few portal/roster notes -Texas wants Connor Robertson to return, but Robertson knows they are about to load up in the portal at OL so he is unsure what he wants to do for his final year. -"It might be unlikely for both Kobe Black and Warren Roberson to return. I'm hearing Black, who is coming off of a strong performance against Texas A&M, which included an interception, is leaning toward returning as long as his exit meeting with coaches goes well." -Wisner is leaning towards returning -Gibson did not like Chad Scott. One of the reasons he left the program midseason.

Guilbeau opting out of the bowl game, unless he is hurt, reminds me of when Brennan Eagles opted out of the 2020 Alamo Bowl to "declare for the NFL draft". What type of advice are these kids getting?- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Hill, Burke and Guilbeau (lol) are the guys who have opted out of the bowl game so far, per Burton.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Hiring Juluke was about the only think Napier did right during his Florida tenure. And RB coaches aren't being judged based off of how many yards their players get. It is a recruiting and relationship role.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
I heard several months back that Scott didn't may have many fans in the RB room and he didn't do a great job of establishing relationships with the existing players.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Oh good, we've reached the point in the point in the calendar every offseason where Anwar Richardson slobs Rashaad Samples for any opening we have. They must be really good friends or something.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
Aside from Baker, Goosby and I guess Brooks, are there any other lineman in the program we would actually work to keep if they wanted to leave? I guess Cojoe probably isn't going to have much of a market considering his lack of playing time and coming off a torn ACL. I'm interested to see what guys like Chatman, Kibble and Cruz do.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
