Texas Has a SAFETY Problem: The Fatal Flaw in 2026? | Steve Sarkisian | Will Muschamp
Jeff Howe and Lifetime Longhorn Rod Babers examine whether safety could become the fatal flaw that prevents Texas from reaching its championship ceiling. Jelani McDonald is the Longhorns’ only proven “five-tool” safety, while Derek Williams, Kobe Black and Jonah Williams each enter camp with major strengths—and important questions involving coverage, run support, durability and physicality.
The guys explain why Will Muschamp’s aggressive defense leaves safeties with nowhere to hide and how one coverage breakdown could expose the entire unit. They also explore potential contingency plans involving Graceson Littleton and Xavier Filsaime, discuss the developmental impact of Muschamp, Blake Gideon and Mark Stoops, and predict who will start beside McDonald when Texas opens the season.
