- Here's an update on how the Texas Longhorns who went through the 2026 NFL Draft process are faring in training camp as NFL teams have made their final cuts ahead of the start of the 2026 regular season — LB Anthony Hill Jr., second-round draft pick (60th overall), Tennessee Titans

- 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.

- Alabama lost defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman to a season-ending ACL injury; defensive back Jorden Edmonds is targeted for a midseason return, while EJ Crowell and receiver Noah Rogers are expected back sooner. Arkansas lost tight end Maddox Lassiter, defensive lineman J'Lynn Allen and punter Connor Smith for 2026, but RB1 Sutton Smith should be ready for the opener. - Auburn linebacker J.J. Faulk is out for the year, with tight end Jonathan Edwards, tackle Tai Buster and corner Devin Williams still uncertain. Florida reported no major camp loss; Georgia remains without Amaris Williams and likely Dante Dowdell, while center Drew Bobo should play. Kentucky running back Tovani Mizell is out, with Jovante Barnes and receiver Nic Anderson questionable. - LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt and linebacker Whit Weeks are full-go, though edge Gabe Reliford remains out. Missouri RB Ahmad Hardy will miss the opener but is practicing; Gavin Hoffman should be ready and Donta Simpson is cleared. Oklahoma center Jake Maikkula is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. - Ole Miss reported no major preseason injury. South Carolina lost receivers Jaden Sellers and Jayden Gibson for the season, with tackle Jacarrius Peak expected out roughly two weeks and Dylan Stewart unavailable opening weekend. Tennessee lost Edrees Farooq, Jaedon Harmon and Jadas Richard, with several more questionable plus Arion Carter suspended one game. - Texas is evaluating left tackle Trevor Goosby's knee, though no tear was initially indicated. Texas A&M lost Chace Sims and Tiger Riden for the season and receiver Jerome Myles left the team. Vanderbilt had no major new camp injury, while Mississippi State's principal questions are receiver Ayden Williams and limited defensive linemen D.J. Reed and Kalvin Dinkins.
