The Red Raiders enter 2026 as Big 12 champions and CFP participants, returning the bulk of a loaded roster under Sonny Dykes. QB Brendan Sorsby (7,208 career pass yds, 60 TDs) transfers in from Cincinnati as the top portal QB nationally. The defense is anchored by All-American DT A.J. Holmes Jr. (10.5 career sacks) and Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year LB Ben Roberts. CB Brice Pollock (All-Big 12 1st Team, 5 INTs) leads an experienced secondary. The offensive line returns four starters, and All-Big 12 RB Cameron Dickey and TE Terrance Carter Jr. provide proven weapons. Key losses include DEs David Bailey and Romello Height to the NFL, but the portal class (Sorsby, Trey White, Mateen Ibirogba) fills the gaps.
