The Texas Longhorns have concluded another successful yet bittersweet season, making it to the College Football Playoff semifinals for the second consecutive year. This time, they fell short against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl. With the season now behind them, head coach Steve Sarkisian is focused on rebuilding and refining the team for the 2025 campaign. The offseason brings a flurry of activity, with roster changes, transfer portal decisions, and NFL Draft declarations shaping the future of the team.
One of the most notable shifts in the Longhorns’ roster is the departure of quarterback Quinn Ewers, who has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after an impressive two-season tenure. Ewers led the Longhorns to an outstanding 21-5 record, leaving behind a legacy of strong leadership and on-field performance. His exit paves the way for Arch Manning to take the reins as the starting quarterback next season. Manning, who spent this season in a backup role, is expected to step up and deliver on the immense promise that has surrounded him since his recruitment.
Adding to the buzz around the Longhorns is their incoming recruiting class, which has been ranked as the nation’s best for 2025. This top-tier group of recruits brings fresh talent and high expectations to Austin, fueling optimism for the team’s potential next season. With a mix of experienced players and promising newcomers, the Longhorns aim to make a deeper playoff run in the upcoming year.
