The Horned Frogs enter 2026 with new offensive coordinator Gordon Sammis.

The Horned Frogs enter 2026 under Sonny Dykes with elite offensive firepower but gutted linebacker depth after losing Namdi Obiazor (159 score, graduated) and Kaleb Elarms-Orr (124 score, graduated). WR Eric McAlister (163 score, 2x All-American) is the top returning player nationally at his position. R-Senior QB Ken Seals (Vanderbilt transfer, 120 score) provides veteran stability. DB Bud Clark (155 score, 2x All-Big 12) and K Nolan Hauser round out the strengths.
