Arch Manning ISN’T Texas’ Best Player — Top 10 Longhorns for 2026 REVEALED | Steve Sarkisian

On Texas Football reveals its 10 highest-ranked players on the Longhorns’ 2026 roster—and Arch Manning does not claim the top spot. Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel debate whether Manning’s leadership and control of the offense should make him No. 1 or whether Colin Simmons’ game-changing production, pass-rushing dominance and ability to wreck an opponent’s game plan make him Texas’ best overall player. The crew also breaks down the championship impact of Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby and Rasheem Biles while identifying the players who must take another step this season. Can Ryan Wingo finally turn his immense potential into consistent production? Will Lance Jackson become the disruptive force Texas needs opposite Simmons? From Bo Mascoe’s versatility to Jelani McDonald’s leadership and Hero Kanu’s development, this episode examines the 10 players who could determine whether Texas wins a national championship.
