The story

As of

In his first full year as a starter, Goosby was first-team All-SEC and a wall at left tackle — just three sacks and three quarterback hurries allowed protecting Arch Manning's blindside. He declined a favorable draft projection to return, giving Texas the most valuable kind of continuity for a title run: a proven blindside protector entering the most scrutinized quarterback season in the country.

Read the rest of the story

The forward stakes are tied directly to Manning's: a clean pocket is the difference between a Heisman campaign and a frustrated one, and Goosby is the reason it stays clean. He's not the headline name on the roster — he's the one who makes the headline name possible.

Goosby is a pass-protection-first left tackle whose value shows up in what doesn't happen — the sacks that never reach the quarterback. The 2025 ledger is the case: three sacks and three hurries allowed across a full SEC season protecting a marquee quarterback, the kind of line that earns first-team all-conference. He has the length and footwork to handle SEC edge rushers and the anchor to hold up against the bull rush. He's a steady, technically sound blindside protector rather than a road-grading mauler — and on a team whose season rides on its quarterback staying upright, that's the most important job on the line.
