Just when the Texas offense got back on track against Ole Miss, it lost one of its best players. Left tackle Trevor Goosby has suffered a season-ending knee injury, multiple outlets report. Goosby went down during the first quarter of the Longhorns' 34-27 win over the Rebels on Saturday night, and he was carted off the field.
After undergoing evaluation in the locker room, Goosby returned to the sideline on crutches. The loss of Goosby is a massive one for the Horns, a team that has struggled to find consistency on offense. A fourth-year tackle, Goosby is considered one of the top offensive linemen in the country, and he projects as a first-round NFL Draft pick.
Not only does Goosby bring experience to the offensive line with 22 starts over the last three seasons, but he has the talent and accolades to go along with it. Goosby earned All-SEC honors in 2025, and he was a preseason first-team All-American at CBS Sports. In the immediate aftermath of the Ole Miss game, Sarkisian couldn't provide updates on Goosby or star wide receiver Cam Coleman, both of whom suffered what appeared to be significant injuries.
"Well, I think, I don't have all the particulars on Cam (Coleman) and Trevor (Goosby)," Sarkisian said. "Obviously, neither of them look very good." Andre Cojoe replaced Goosby at left tackle, and he did an admirable job in relief as Ole Miss sacked Arch Manning just twice. Although Cojoe hasn't played as many games as Goosby, he is a senior who has been in the program since he signed with the Longhorns in 2023.
Cojoe missed the entire 2025 season due to injury, but he has appeared in all seven games this season and 11 total games throughout his career, albeit in a limited capacity. Texas has allowed 2.71 sacks per game, which is tied for 117th nationally, and it's hard to see that improving with Goosby on the shelf. The Longhorns must now prepare to be without their best offensive lineman and have zero margin for error in the College Football Playoff race.
That test begins this weekend as Texas hosts Mississippi State on Saturday night.
