The Texas Longhorns have landed a significant scorer in the transfer portal. Memphis kicker Gianni Spetic has committed to Texas out of the transfer portal. Spetic, a 6-foot-3, 211-pounder originally from Ohio, was 15-for-20 this year on field goals and 49-for-49 on PATs.
Spetic also handled kickoff duties with 78 kickoffs for the Tigers. He had 55 touchbacks and only one kick out of bounds.
In his career, Spetic is 46-for-62 on field goals and 129-for-131 on extra points. He has one season of eligibility remaining.
Texas just completed a 10-3 season with losses to Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia and was left out of the College Football Playoff despite wins over Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Vanderbilt. It’s the first time since 2022 that the Longhorns have been left out of the College Football Playoff and failed to play for its conference championship.
The Longhorns will have plenty to do in the offseason ahead of 2026, including preparing for what is likely Arch Manning’s final season plus replacing defensive standouts like Anthony Hill, Michael Taaffe, Ethan Burke, and several others.
The program will be making changes throughout the offseason after signing the No. 10 class according to Rivals. The transfer portal opens on January 2, and the Longhorns will undoubtedly be active in that portion of the talent acquisition cycle.
