Texas Longhorns are entering preseason camp with a near‑complete roster, as only one athlete, Kaden Scherer, remains unavailable due to a torn ACL.
Quarterback Arch Manning and several other starters have fully recovered from offseason surgeries, allowing them to participate in fall drills without restrictions.
Injury Management Strategy
Coach Steve Sarkisian has made player health a central focus, implementing a monitoring system designed to prevent setbacks and ensure the team reaches peak condition for the upcoming season.
Veteran linemen such as Jonah Williams, Ty’Anthony Smith, Xavier Filsaime and Justus Terry have all cleared their respective shoulder procedures and are slated to be fully available for practice.
Strategic Implications
The depth chart benefits from the return of key contributors, while the staff also notes that Justus Terry originally pledged to the Georgia Bulldogs before opting for Texas after receiving a more lucrative NIL package.
With the roster largely intact, the Longhorns aim to translate their health advantage into on‑field performance as they prepare for the new campaign.
