With the coach and player turnover that has already occurred since the Texas Longhorns' regular season finale against Texas A&M, the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl matchup versus Michigan can be viewed as much as a 2026 preseason game as it is a 2025 finale. The article discusses six new recruits from Texas that are expected to play significant roles in the upcoming game against Michigan. Five-star recruit Ffrench, a five-time recruit from Jacksonville, Florida, had only one reception in the regular season and is a redshirt candidate for the Citrus Bowl. Lockett, another five-star wideout recruit, is expected to become a significant factor in the Texas wide receiver room. The slot position in Sarkisian's offensive setup will be an intriguing spot to watch. With Michael Taaffe leaving to the NFL and Derrick Williams Jr. testing the portal, there is a clear opening at safety alongside returning star Jelani McDonald. The linebacker room is undermanned due to the exits of Anthony Hill Jr., Trey Moore, and Liona Lefau.
