FAQ
Texas football roster FAQs
How many Texas players are listed?
111 player records appear in this snapshot. The table and player cards use the same records.
When was this Texas roster reviewed?
The team profile was reviewed on 2026-09-01. This is a dated listing; it does not track live injuries, transfers or game-day availability.
Is this a depth chart?
No. Position groups organize the listed players; their order does not identify starters, backups or playing time.
What does the class year tell me?
It is the class label supplied in the roster. It does not verify how many seasons of eligibility remain.
Who is Texas's starting quarterback in 2026?
Arch Manning, entering his second year in the role after taking over from Quinn Ewers. He wears No. 16, was Citrus Bowl MVP, and is a preseason Heisman Trophy contender. KJ Lacey and Dia Bell are behind him on the depth chart.
Who is the biggest player on the Texas roster?
Defensive lineman Ian Geffrard at 6-5 and 375 pounds, followed by Zion Williams at 370 and Jordan Coleman at 356. Running back Raleek Brown is the shortest player listed, at 5-9.
Who are the tallest players on the Texas roster?
Offensive tackle Trevor Goosby and tight end Spencer Shannon, both listed at 6-7.
Are there international players on the Texas roster?
Two. Offensive lineman Melvin Siani is from Hamilton, Ontario, and defensive lineman Hero Kanu is from Geltendorf, Germany.
Who wears No. 0 for Texas?
Two players: running back Raleek Brown, a fifth-year transfer from Mater Dei, and freshman defensive back John Meredith III. Sharing a number between an offensive and defensive player is standard practice.
Is there a coach's family member on the Texas roster?
Yes. Linebacker Brady Sarkisian, a senior from Newport Beach, California, is the son of head coach Steve Sarkisian.
Is Cole Hutson on the 2026 Texas roster?
He is listed at offensive line, but his status carried a caveat entering the season: Hutson is seeking a fifth year of eligibility after playing 48 games over four seasons from 2022-25, and that case may still need to work through the NCAA's eligibility process.
