Texas is making early moves in the Transfer Portal... but it's not exactly the names fans we're waiting for.

The Longhorns are hosting many top-ranked transfers on offense and defense, but in terms of commits, they've used the first couple days of the window to lock in next year's special teams unit.

With kicker Mason Shipley, punter Jack Bouwmeester and long snapper Lance St. Louis all out of eligibility, special teams coordinator Jeff Banks had to look to the portal to replace their production.

Here are three names you'll be seeing on Texas' special teams unit next season.

After a turbulent season with Bert Auburn at kicker, the Longhorns rebounded in that department this season with the reliable Shipley at the helm.

Replacing Shipley is not an easy task, but Banks is hoping Gianni Spetic from Memphis can do just that.

Spetic has made 46 of his 62 career field goal attempts, including a 15-of-20 mark in his latest season. That, along with making four of his five attempts from 50+ yards, helped Spetic cement himself as a semifinalist for the Lou Groza award, annually given to the nation's top place-kicker.

The rising senior has handled kickoff duties the last two seasons and will presumably do so at Texas.

The Longhorns have opted to remain more experienced at the punter position with the signing of Mac Chiumento from Florida State.

Before last season, Chiumento was restricted to holding and occasionally kickoff duties, but in 2025, he finally broke out, earning the starting punter role for the Seminoles.

Chiumento averaged a solid 44 yards per punt, pinning almost half of them inside the 20-yard line. His punts also gave opposing returners trouble, recording a net punt average of 42.2 yards, just 1.8 yards under his YPP. 

The additions of Chumiento and Spetic give Banks two proven kicking options, which is a luxury not every team has -- just ask Ohio State.

Ah yes, the often forgotten but ever important position of the long snapper. 

A good snap can make or break a punt or field goal, and Banks is making sure Texas is successful on special teams by bringing in veteran LS Trey DuBuc from New Mexico.

After two seasons at USF, DuBuc transferred to New Mexico last season to become the Lobos' full-time LS. Now, he gets to level up to a potentially national championship-contending program, and he couldn't be more excited.
