Texas Longhorns Shine in ESPN Rankings | Texas Longhorns Football News

Texas Longhorns dominate ESPN’s 2026 top 100 with seven players tied for second-most on the list, including four in the top 15—Colin Simmons (3), Trevor Goosby (12), Arch Manning (13), and Cam Coleman (15). Manning’s 36 total TDs and dual-threat game make him a potential climb, while Goosby’s elite pass protection deserves a higher ranking. But the snubs are glaring: Ryan Wingo, Texas’ leading receiver, and All-American special teams standout Ryan Niblett were left out, and not a single defensive back cracked the top 100. With key secondary departures and unproven newcomers, Texas’ defense could be their biggest question mark heading into 2026.
