Texas Longhorns Special Teams Breakdown | Texas Longhorns Football News

Texas Longhorns kick off their season with a fresh special teams unit after losing all three starters from last year. Kicker Gio Spetic, a transfer from Ohio and Memphis, earned the spot after a strong scrimmage showing despite a shaky first attempt. Punter Mac Chiumento, a Florida State transfer, returns as starter with freshman Mikey Bukauskas stepping in as backup. Trey Dubuc, a New Mexico transfer, takes over deep snapper duties. Senior Ryan Niblett leads punt returns, while kickoff return blocking is a key focus this year—with Raleek Brown and Jermaine Bishop ready to contribute if needed.
