Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was tasked with building a team capable of winning a championship this offseason. So far, he's done a pretty good job.

However, that doesn't mean the Longhorns don't have weaknesses. Weaknesses that need to be addressed in the dying days of the Transfer Portal.

Here are the strongest and weakest groups on Texas' new squad.

The Longhorns have supplied star quarterback Arch Manning with a loaded armory of weapons for the 2026 season.

Texas lost its top two running backs, Tre Wisner and CJ Baxter, to the portal, but proceeded to upgrade both of them, acquiring former Arizona State running back Raleek Brown and former NC State RB Hollywood Smothers, two of the top five ball-carriers in the portal. 

The Longhorns also made a huge splash in the wide receiver room, adding No. 1 portal wideout Cam Coleman to an already stacked corps, including Ryan Wingo, Emmett Mosley V and Kaliq Lockett.

With 2026 set to be Manning's last year at Texas, Sarkisian knew he had to support him with an elite supporting cast, and he delivered. 

The Longhorns look to be set at the offensive tackle position with Trevor Goosby and Wake Forest transfer Melvin Siani holding down the edges next season. 

The same cannot be said about Texas' interior offensive line.

Texas lost multiple key IOL this offseason, and so far, has failed to replace them. The Longhorns' lone IOL signee in the portal has been former Oregon State guard Dylan Sikorski. 

Many have said that Texas plans to move tackle Brandon Baker to guard next season, completing the starting lineup. However, injuries happen, and the team needs depth in case key players start to go down. 

Yes, the Longhorns lost the heart and soul of the defense (and really the entire team), Michael Taaffe, to the NFL Draft. 

Replacing not only his production on the field, but also his influence off the field, will prove to be very difficult for defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.

With that being said, Texas' top four safeties are all returners from last season, making it one of the most experienced rooms on the roster. 

Senior Jelani McDonald is undoubtedly the star of the group, but Xavier Filsaime, Derek Williams and Jonah Williams are no slouches either.

The back end of the Longhorns' secondary should be the least of their problems going into next season.

Muschamp has definitely addressed the linebacker situation, adding arguably the best LB in the portal, Rasheem Biles from Pittsburgh, along with Justin Cryer from Florida State and Markus Boswell from Akron.

But even with those acquisitions, Texas' LB room still feels a bit thin. Ty'Anthony Smith, Biles, and Cryer give the Longhorns three experienced LBs, but everyone else in the room can really only be viewed as a prospect. 

Texas has great top-end talent at the position, but if injuries strike, it could get ugly real fast at the position.
