Last weekend, multiple upperclassmen for No. 3 Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian participated in the ceremonial walk on Senior Day against the Kentucky Wildcats at DKR. For the final time, many Texas seniors and players who are planning to enter the 2025 NFL Draft early next spring suited up at DKR for a regular season game in the SEC.
Who will stay and who will go for Texas football ahead of the next football offseason?
It might not be the final game for the Longhorns playing at DKR this fall after the win over Kentucky. Texas has a chance to play a home game in the first round of the 12-team College Football Playoff at DKR this postseason.
Most of the Longhorns' key contributors on the two-deep depth chart on each side of the ball are upperclassmen who are eligible to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft. Here are four Longhorns players who (probably) won't return to Texas for the 2025 season, entering the 2024 regular season finale on Nov. 30 against the Texas A&M Aggies.
Cameron Williams, OT
Junior offensive tackle Cameron Williams' NFL Draft stock for the 2025 class has exploded this fall. The big 6-foot-5 and 335-pound offensive tackle Williams has the size and strength to be viewed as a first-round pick by NFL Draft scouts this upcoming offseason.
The latest CBS Sports 2025 NFL Mock Draft , compiled by multiple experts, including draft expert/reporter Ryan Wilson, projects Williams to be selected in the first round.
Williams has another year of eligibility remaining, but his projection as a first-round pick for the 2025 NFL Draft means he will be facing an important decision whether he'll take his talents to the pros next spring during the 2025 offseason.
