White insists Texas can improve on last season because the Longhorns welcome back staff ace Teagan Kavan as well as All-American catcher Reese Atwood and five other starters from last year’s 10-4 win over Texas Tech in the third and final game of the Women’s College World Series.

The Texas Longhorns have had many of their personnel enter their names into the transfer portal in a short amount of time since their big wins over both Texas A&M and Michigan to close the 2025 season, including big names like running back Quintrevion Wisner and wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr.

Former Texas wideout Jordan Shipley suffered third-degree burns over 20 percent of his body and is in serious condition.

Here's what the Texas Longhorns can learn from each of the remaining teams in the College Football Playoff bracket.

The Longhorns were in heavy pursuit of Jayden Woods, one of the top defensive edge players in the transfer portal, and a fellow SEC player from the Florida Gators. Now, though, the talented edge defender is expected to remain with the Gators, per On3's Pete Nakos.

Derek Williams Jr. gives the Longhorns a reason to celebrate. The defensive back will withdraw from the transfer portal and stay at Texas.
