Fall camp for Texas football begins in about three weeks, and we've got a pretty good idea of how things have started to shake out throughout spring and summer practices in Austin. In regard to the team's three-deep on offense, there could be some surprises at a couple of key positions this fall.
Though the first unofficial depth chart hasn't been released yet, we're going to try to lay out how it could look heading into Week 1 against Ohio State on August 30th, barring injuries of course.
As of right now, here is what Texas' three-deep on offense most likely looks like:
* indicates true freshman
QB: Arch Manning, Trey Owens, Matthew Caldwell
RB: Quintrevion Wisner, C.J. Baxter, Jerrick Gibson
WR-X: Ryan Wingo, Parker Livingstone, Rett Andersen
WR-Z: Emmett Mosley V, Kaliq Lockett*, Aaron Butler
WR-H/Slot: DeAndre Moore Jr., Jaime Ffrench*, Michaell Terry III*
TE: Jack Endries, Jordan Washington, Spencer Shannon
LT: Trevor Goosby, Jaydon Chatman, Nick Brooks*
LG: Neto Umeozulu, Nate Kibble, Jackson Christian*
C: Cole Hutson, Connor Robertson, Daniel Cruz
RG: D.J. Campbell, Connor Stroh, Rick McBroom
RT: Brandon Baker, Andre Cojoe, Robert Sweeney
The Longhorns offense is chock full of blue-chip players, especially at wide receiver. Arch Manning is going to have a plethora of dangerous playmakers to throw the ball to in 2025, with former Stanford WR Emmett Mosley V (6'2", 205 lbs.) transferring in this year as well.
New TE Jack Endries should make a big impact for Steve Sarkisian and Co. from the get-go this year, especially as Manning's latest safety blanket over the middle. His above-average athleticism could allow the offense to do some creative things in 2025, with Endries at the focal point.
If there was one spot on the offense that could be considered "weak", it's definitely the offensive line.
Though the starting unit is fairly strong, if injuries start to take a toll, things could get pretty bad. Depth is a huge issue along the offensive line right now for the Longhorns. Most of the projected backups don't have any game experience whatsoever, or they've only played a handful of snaps against lower-level FBS teams.
True freshmen offensive linemen like Nick Brooks and Jackson Christian could end up seeing significant game action in 2025 if things start to go south in the OL room.
