Texas transfer class ratings revealed by EA College Football 26
One of the cool aspects of EA Sports' return to college football is the player ratings. While some will quibble with a few, generally it seems EA College Football 26 has some real scouting and science behind them. Longhorns fans have a good sense of where most returning players land in the ratings. But what about the transfers? When a transfer is announced, it is hard to know just how good the new player is and how he fits within the team. Thanks to the release of the 2026 version of the game, we now know what the EA CFB computers think of the Texas Longhorns transfer class. 90 - TE Jack Endries (Cal) A high rating to be sure, but Endries is the jewel of this year's transfer class. He's already been named a 2026 NFL Draft Sleeper by ESPN and a preseason All-American by Athlon. The former Golden Bear was third in the ACC last year with 623 receiving yards at tight end. 84 - WR Emmett Mosley V (Stanford) During his freshman year, the former Cardinal made the most of his opportunities, hauling in 48 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. Mosley, who was a ACC Rookie of the Week last year, has good size at 6-foot-2 and has three years of eligibility left. 84 - P Jack Bouwmeester (Utah) The 6-foot-3, 197 pound Aussie had 60 punts in 2024 for 2,682 yards on an average of 44.7 yards per punt. 13 of the 60 punts went for 50+ yards and 9 landed inside the 20-yard line. 83 - DT Cole Brevard (Purdue) During the 2024 season, Brevard appeared in 11 games and recorded a career-high 19 tackles. He also added 1.5 sacks and 5.5 tackles for a loss to his resume. While his statistics may not jump off the page, he was a solid player for Purdue and produced when called upon. Texas is looking for instant impact from the former Boilermaker. 82 - K Mason Shipley (Texas State) Shipley, who will be a senior for the coming season, has kicked 31 of 35 field goals in his career. The Liberty Hill, TX native was was first-team Sun Belt kicker for 2023 and a semifinalist for the 2023 Lou Groza Award. He also made a 60-yard FG last season setting both the school and conference record. 81 - DT Hero Kanu (Ohio State) Kanu played in 26 games with the Buckeyes and had 14 tackles and one sack. He came to the United States from Geltendorf, Germany in high school when it was clear he was going to be a college prospect and attended Santa Margarita Catholic High School in California. 81 - DT Travis Shaw (North Carolina) Shaw entered the portal after UNC fired former Texas coach Mack Brown in November. The 6'5.5, 330-pounder has one season of eligibility remaining. Shaw was one of Brown's biggest signings in Chapel Hill. In his three seasons at North Carolina, Shaw had a hard time being consistent. But his junior campaign showed a lot of improvement, recording 26 tackles, up from his freshman high of 18. 79 - LB Brad Spence (Arkansas) In his last season as a Razorback, Spence recorded 55 total tackles and 4.5 sacks. He also added one pass deflection to his resume while proving to be an essential part of the Arkansas defense. He will look to take his game to another level while wearing the burnt orange. 78 - DT Maraad Watson (Syracuse) In his only season as an Orangemen, the New Jersey native recorded 30 total tackles and one pass deflection. He also recorded the first sack of his college career. As he made headlines with his play, Watson also added to his trophy case. 76 - DT Lavon Johnson (Maryland) As a true freshman in 2023, Johnson appeared in six games, recording five tackles and one sack before notching 19 tackles, one sack, and 1.5 tackles for a loss in eight games in 2024. Johnson missed several games with injury during the 2024 season and only played 164 snaps

Texas Longhorns score talented former Stanford WR from transfer portal
Texas Longhorns score talented former Stanford WR from transfer portal Texas has signed a key target from the transfer portal. Former Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V has committed to the Longhorns. The 6'2" freshman made his decision soon after visiting Austin this weekend. Before choosing to go to Stanford, Mosely was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class. He received offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, USC, Georgia, LSU, and Penn State. Mosley entered the portal on April 3 after Stanford fired coach Troy Taylor on March 25. The transfer portal opens for 30 days whenever a head coach leaves their program, allowing athletes to leave and decide on their future, according to NCAA guidelines. During his freshman year, the former Cardinal made the most of his opportunities, hauling in 48 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. Mosley's best performance came against No. 19 Louisville, where he finished with 13 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns and earned ACC Rookie of the Week. Wide receiver is a key position of need for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. "Naturally, there are a couple of positions depth-wise where we're not where we need to be right now," Sarkisian said. "We'll look at the portal that way. Our numbers are down at receiver right now from a scholarship standpoint. Our numbers are down on the defensive line from where our numbers really should be. And our number's really down at tight end. It's not a secret that we'll look to the portal, but I don't want to take a guy just for a number."

'As a basketball player, you don't think about injuring your eye,' Scheyer said. 'That doesn't cross your mind. I had never seen him look scared.
