Texas notches its 900th win, joining college football royalty. With key transfers and Arch Manning, the 2026 championship quest ignites.
Through decades of gridiron greatness, Texas has been a dominant force in college football. The victory colors of burnt orange and white flew unfurled and were adorned by all who displayed the hand gesture and shouted, “Hook’em.”
The Texas Longhorns have been a model of consistency when it comes to success on a football field. Over the past three seasons, the Longhorns have posted an astounding 35-8 record, a winning percentage of 81 percent.
Last season, Texas finished strong down the stretch and won seven of their final eight games to post their third consecutive season with 10 or more wins. In the process, the Longhorns achieved an extraordinary feat accomplished by only a select few.
According to HookEmHeadlines.com, the Longhorns are a member of an elite club of teams that have won 900 or more football games in college football history. The 900 Club includes Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame and Nebraska.
Texas now ranks fifth all-time in wins with 971. They join Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama and Notre Dame as teams that have achieved the significant milestone of 970 or more wins.
Everything is big in Texas, and that includes football. The Lone Star State is loaded with talent and love for the game, fueling the Longhorns’ success ever since they were established prior to the 1893 season.
Ahead of spring practice and preparation for the 2026 season, coach Steve Sarkisian has made some changes on both sides of the ball in a focused effort to bring a national championship to Austin.
Sarkisian brought back Will Muschamp to fire up the defense, and he will unleash a talented transfer linebacker named Rasheem Biles (Pitt). Sark lost his entire running back room, so he went into the portal and got the top two running backs in Raleek Brown (Arizona State) and Hollywood Smothers (NC State).
Sarkisian also secured the services of receiver Cam Coleman (Auburn) to pair with Ryan Wingo as the passing attack got an immediate upgrade. With Heisman candidate Arch Manning back to lead this talented offense, look for Coleman and Wingo to have breakout seasons.
The Longhorns are projected as a playoff team once again in 2026. They have the talent and the coaching to make a deep run and to add to that already impressive win total.
