Texas got the kind of Monday update that settles a lot of nerves up front.
Steve Sarkisian said Trevor Goosby and Laurence Seymore are both back at practice, giving the Longhorns a much-needed boost as game week gets rolling in Austin. For a fan base that had been sweating the offensive line situation, that news landed like a deep exhale.
Goosby’s return matters most because of what he represents on the edge. The 6-foot-7, 325-pound first-team All-SEC left tackle had been working back from a preseason bone bruise, and the setback had put a serious wrinkle in Texas’ early-season plans.
His timeline still appears to be on track, with the injury lining up with the original two-to-three-week recovery window. Even with him back on the field, the coaching staff could still choose to keep him out of Saturday’s season opener and make sure he’s fully ready before Texas meets Ohio State in a few weeks.
Seymore is back too, and that gives Texas another important piece in the interior. The Western Kentucky transfer had been dealing with nagging camp injuries that kept him out for most of last week, but he’s now back in the mix at left guard. His résumé is strong: last season, he posted an 82.6 pass-blocking grade and was charged with just one penalty across 840 total snaps.
Before the injuries, Seymore was seen as the clear favorite to take over the starting left guard job. His missed time opened the door for Dylan Sikorski to get more work, and that competition is still very much alive. The expectation is that Seymore and the Oregon State transfer will split time this weekend while they sort out the starting spot.
For Texas, the timing couldn’t be much better. Back-to-back injuries had put the offensive front under a bright spotlight, but Monday’s practice update eased a lot of that concern.

Cam Coleman Could Change How Dangerous Texas Looks Around Arch Manning
Arch Manning has had no shortage of attention this offseason, but one of the more interesting developments in Texas fall camp has been the early chemistry he is building with transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman. Steve Sarkisian has been praising Colemans approach since he arrived from Auburn, pointing to a player who is not just talented, but intentional about how he fits into the Longhorns offense.
Coleman came to Texas looking for a chance to learn an NFL-style system, and that mindset has shown up in the way he has worked to absorb the playbook and connect with Manning. With the team preparing for the 2026 season, the Longhorns are clearly hoping that level of buy-in translates into a more dangerous passing game, and Colemans ability to adapt may end up mattering as much as his raw ability.
