Two Longhorn freshmen named to On3’s True Freshman All-America Team
Texas football is nearing and it's time for more preseason recognition. This time, two freshmen were named to On3's All-America Freshman team.
Texas' freshman class has made a strong impact, as evidenced by their selection on On3's 2026 Preseason True Freshman All-America Team. Wide receiver Jermaine Bishop Jr. and linebacker Tyler Atkinson were named to the prestigious team. Bishop Jr. has been the standout of fall camp, earning him a key role in the offense. Atkinson, on the other hand, took time to find his footing but displayed remarkable athletic ability once he did.
With the departure of Ty’Anthony Smith, Atkinson is expected to step into a major rotational role at linebacker. The freshman duo's performance is highly commendable, and their inclusion on the All-America team is well-deserved. The Longhorns' freshman class continues to impress, with additional contributors like Derrek Cooper, Jamarion Carlton, Richard Wesley, Samari Matthews, Kosi Okpala, and Rocky Cummings ready to make an impact this season.
