Umeozulu was seen as next in line at one of the guard spots alongside DJ Campbell entering the 2025 season. However, he never earned a start and only rotated in on the O-line versus Ohio State, San Jose State, Sam Houston, and Vanderbilt. He was a mainstay on the Longhorns\u2019 field goal unit throughout the season.<\/p>\n

He has two younger brothers, Zina<\/a> and Ziky, still on the roster.<\/p>\n

Umeozulu was ranked as the No. 76 overall prospect, the No. 5 interior offensive lineman, and the No. 14 player in Texas in the Rivals Industry Ranking. On3 ranked Umeozulu as the No. 49 overall prospect, the No. 2 interior offensive lineman, and the No. 11 player in Texas.<\/p>\n

Texas just completed a 9-3 regular 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns will have plenty to do in the offseason ahead of 2026, including preparing for what is likely Arch Manning\u2019s final season plus replacing defensive standouts like Michael Taaffe, Ethan Burke, and several others.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
