Texas Is Better, But How Much? The Biggest Themes From Fall Camp
- Texas responded to last season's disappointing offseason by becoming more aggressive in the portal and replacing staff decisions Steve Sarkisian believed had not worked.
- Will Muschamp has already changed the defense's mindset toward greater energy, toughness and physicality, although that identity remains unproven against comparable opponents.
- Texas' offensive line is clearly improved through added talent, experience and transfers, but retaining Kyle Flood will be judged by how the unit performs against the schedule's best defenses.
- Overall depth is better than in 2025, though injuries to Christian Clark and C.J. Baxter plus Ty'Anthony Smith's departure expose thinner areas at running back and linebacker.
- Freshmen Jermaine Bishop, Derrek Cooper, Richard Wesley, Samari Matthews and Kosi Okpala have earned immediate roles, with Kohen Brown also expected to contribute on special teams.
