Longhorns and Aggies are competitive with each other ... about everything. From history to culture to athletic prowess to academic standing, if there are University of Texas fans and Texas A&M fans in the same room, they are arguing about who's best.

As for what returns for Texas, the Longhorns will have arguably the best defensive player in the country next year in EDGE Colin Simmons, who posted 13.5 TFLs and 11 sacks in the regular season. There are also building blocks with players like Kanu (if he returns), freshman safety Graceson Littleton and sophomore DT Alex January.

Texas team insiders reveal why the Longhorns lost their top three running backs from the 2025 season to the transfer portal.
