On3 just dropped it's "way-too-early" 2026 All-American team with several Longhorns making the cut, and no, Arch Manning isn't one of them this time.
Though Manning was edged out by Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss (assuming his eligibility issue gets resolved) on this list, he's definitely been named on others recently. These early lists are always fun to look at because it shows which players have some hype in the eyes of the bigger media outlets.
Let's take a look at the team:
Offense
QB: Trinidad Chambliss - Ole Miss
RB: Ahmad Hardy - Missouri
RB: Kewan Lacy - Ole Miss
WR: Jeremiah Smith - Ohio State
WR: Malachi Toney - Miami
TE: Trey'Dez Green - LSU
OT: Carter Smith - Indiana
OT: Trevor Goosby - Texas
OG: Evan Tengesdahl - Cincinnati
OG: Shadre Hurst - Houston
C: Kade Pieper - Iowa
Defense
DE: Colin Simmons - Texas
DE: John Henry Daley - Michigan
DT: Tyrique Tucker - Indiana
DT: A'Mauri Washington - Oregon
LB: Rolijah Hardy - Indiana
LB: Rasheem Biles - Texas
LB: Xavier Atkins - Auburn
CB: Leonard Moore - Notre Dame
CB: Kelley Jones - Mississippi State
S: K.J. Bolden - Georgia
S: Koi Perich - Oregon
K: Lucas Carneiro - Ole Miss
P: Evan Crenshaw - Troy
KR/PR: Ryan Niblett - Texas
All-Purpose: Wayne Knight - UCLA
Trevor Goosby, Ryan Niblett, Rasheem Biles, and Colin Simmons making the list is no surprise, as they're all coming off incredibly productive individual seasons.
Both Simmons and Goosby could end up being the No.1-ranked prospect heading into the 2027 NFL Draft at their respective positions, and Niblett is one of the most explosive players in college football with the ball in his hands.
Rasheem Biles recently transferred to Texas from PITT, where he was one of the best overall linebackers in the ACC. There's a very good chance that he could end up being the most impactful transfer addition of the 2026 portal class for Steve Sarkisian and Co.
