Tight end Nick Townsend (probable), receiver Kaliq Lockett (doubtful), defensive lineman Justus Terry (doubtful) and offensive lineman Jordan Coleman (out) were the only four names that Texas listed on the report.

Senior running back Hollywood Smothers did not appear on Wednesday's availability report. The Longhorns' leading rusher, Smothers suited up but sat out UT's 20-17 win at Tennessee on Sept. 26 while tending to a leg injury. Smothers transferred to Texas from North Carolina State ahead of the 2026 season and has rushed 41 times for 198 yards and two touchdowns this year.
