“I’m excited for this group,” Sarkisian said earlier this month. “We may not have a record-breaking class like we’ve had the last couple years, but this group is going to play a lot of football games in the NFL, and they’re going to be successful at it.

Here is where Texas football players could go in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Anthony Hill Jr.
Hill is projected by many as a second-day pick. Pro Football Focus has him as the No. 86 prospect overall, but ESPN, CBS and Tankathon are all higher on the North Texas native. He’s ranked between 35th and 43rd by those services.
Muhammad is also projected to be drafted on the second day. CBS has him as the No. 65 prospect with ESPN, PFF and Tankathon ranking him 110th, 105th and 82nd respectively.
