As the summer months arrive, Phil Steele has once again released his highly anticipated college football season preview magazine. Filled with in-depth analysis and insights for the upcoming year, the magazine is a valuable resource for fans and analysts alike.
In a yearly tradition, many were eager to see where Steele projected several Texas Longhorns for his preseason All-American team. Despite having a talented roster, only three Longhorns made the list, none of whom were from the defensive side of the ball. However, this presents an opportunity for the team to showcase their talent and skills in the upcoming season.
Of the three Longhorns named to the list, two are offensive players, and one is a special teams player. Quarterback Quinn Ewers earned a spot as the fourth team quarterback, showcasing his impressive skills that led Texas to the College Football Playoffs and a Big 12 title in 2023. Ewers has the potential to lead the team to success in the upcoming season, despite facing tough competition in the SEC.
Offensive tackle Kelvin Banks was named to the second team, highlighting his importance to the team’s offensive line and his potential as a top draft pick in the future. Banks will play a crucial role in paving the way for the team’s running backs as they navigate a challenging SEC schedule.
Lastly, kicker Bert Auburn received recognition as the second-team kicker, with the potential to contend for the prestigious Lou Groza Award this season. Auburn’s consistency and reliability make him a key player in the Longhorns’ special teams unit.
Overall, the Longhorns have several standout players who are poised for success in the upcoming college football season. With talent and potential across the roster, fans have high hopes for a successful year ahead.
