The Texas Longhorns boasted six players on a list of On3\u2019s top 100 players in college football in 2026 cultivated by Clark Brooks<\/a>. Colin Simmons<\/a> was the top Texas player at No. 6 overall, while Cam Coleman<\/a> was the top offensive Longhorn at No. 7 overall.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns had six players make the top 100, with two on defense and four on offense. Simmons was joined by Rasheem Biles<\/a>. Coleman was joined by Arch Manning<\/a>, Trevor Goosby<\/a>, and Melvin Siani<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A number of players the Longhorns will have to battle this year made the list, including 10 of the top 25 and 17 of the top 50. <\/p>\n

Indiana and Oregon each had eight players make the list. Texas, Georgia, and Texas Tech all had six apiece. Notre Dame, Miami, and LSU all claimed five players. Oklahoma and Ohio State boasted four, Ole Miss notched three, and Texas A&M had two players make the cut.<\/p>\n

6. Colin Simmons, EDGE<\/p>\n

Colin Simmons<\/a>\u00a0has, perhaps, the best motor of any pass rusher outside the NFL. Tenacious and dedicated, he gets and stays busy. Putting it another way: Simmons is special at stuffing the stat sheet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, he recorded 91 impact plays (havocs + defensive stops) \u2013 a top-10 figure among defenders. On a rate basis, his 14.3 percent clip was among the upper echelon of edges that logged at least 200 snaps. Riding a 17-game streak of tallying multiple pressures, Simmons\u2019 21.2 percent Pass Rush Win Rate was top eight at the position. Flustering and blustering opposing passers, he also has 19 sacks under his belt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

7. Cam Coleman, WR<\/p>\n

Former Five-Star Plus+ and On3\u2019s top player in the transfer portal,\u00a0Cam Coleman<\/a>\u00a0is itching to show America his full potential after a couple of sporadic seasons marred by mid (submid?) quarterback play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No SECer, according to my charting, sported a higher \u201ctossup target\u201d rate than his ludicrous 35 percent clip \u2014 the conference\u2019s only instance of north of 28 percent among players with at least 50 targets. But despite the consistently inconsistently placed passes thrown his way, Coleman beat the national average in yards\/target (8.1) and \u201ccreated\u201d eight receptions for himself, displaying his potential to go above and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With a prototypical X-WR build at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Coleman has the frame to dominate the catch point and take care of business outside the numbers. And speaking to his ability to stretch defenses vertically, he\u2019s the only returning SEC pass catcher with over 300 deep receiving yards each of the last two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

10. Arch Manning, QB<\/p>\n

Arch Manning<\/a>\u00a0had an uneven first season as a full-time starter. But despite being a little rough around the edges, the blue chipper still showed why he\u2019s the jewel of the eye of many draftniks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fluid and creative, he displayed a praiseworthy ability to throw from a number of platforms and hunt for worthwhile completions. Plus, he remained centered and competent despite clear adversity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In my QB Impact Study, Manning experienced the group\u2019s second-highest Pressure Rate (35.5 percent) on pure dropbacks, but his Sack Rate came in under 5 percent. In those games against his hardest opponents, he erased almost twice as many sacks as ones taken.<\/p>\n

On scrambles, he averaged 9.4 Y\/A. But, his potency as a rusher wasn\u2019t capped just there. No other Impact QB in this year\u2019s study trumped his 11.4 Y\/A on designed carries. Yes, that\u2019s inflated some due to the breakout. But for what it\u2019s worth, his 6.5 clip including all games was still top3 in the SEC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regardless of his surname, his processing, tight window accuracy, and zeal to provide big plays makes him a fun option. And this fall behind a stronger supporting cast, I feel it will all come together for him (and potentially Texas).\u00a0<\/p>\n

13. Trevor Goosby, OT<\/p>\n

Possessing dimensions of a true bookend (6-foot-7, 312 pounds),\u00a0Trevor Goosby<\/a>\u00a0was one of the SEC\u2019s top up-and-coming blockers in 2025. Like Carter Smith, the former On3 four-star outlier\u2019s PFF Pass and Run Block grades beat the 80.0 threshold, putting him in a rare club of linemen. Though he took some lumps to close the season against heightened competition, his ability to win the edge, maul, and mash coupled with his rocksteady pass blocking skills make him one of the most multifaceted blockers in college football.\u00a0<\/p>\n

71. Rasheem Biles, LB<\/p>\n

94. Melvin Siani, OT<\/p>\n

None of UTSA, Texas State, and Arkansas had a player make the list<\/p>\n

Ohio State had No. 1 overall player WR Jeremiah Smith<\/a>, and three other players in No. 9 QB Julian Sayin<\/a>, No. 36 OT Austin Siereveld<\/a>, and No. 46 RB Bo Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
