Texas offensive line overhaul faces pressure as Kyle Flood seeks redemption

Texas fell from top preseason rankings to a playoff absence, leading Steve Sarkisian to fire three coaches while keeping offensive coordinator Kyle Flood, who now faces heightened scrutiny over the line's performance. The unit faltered in SEC play, especially against the Gators, but the last four games featured a stable five-man group that helped Arch Manning post 287 passing yards per game with only one interception and kept sack totals low.

Offseason moves focus on reinforcing the tackles, retaining left tackle Trevor Goosby and adding former Wake Forest star Melvin Siani, both projected as early NFL draft candidates. Interior positions will see competition among Brandon Baker, Laurence Seymore, Andre Cojoe and others, with Connor Robertson anchoring the center spot. Sarkisian praised the line's physicality in recent practices and expects the new roster to support skill players like Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown, aiming for a more competitive season.
