Sarkisian explains Ty’Anthony Smith dismissal as Texas pivots to youth at linebacker

Texas dismissed linebacker Ty’Anthony Smith for conduct detrimental to the team, with Sarkisian saying the move was in the program’s best interest; Smith, who battled a shoulder issue and reportedly clashed with defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, has two years of eligibility remaining and is expected to continue his career elsewhere. Texas will lean on transfers Rasheem Biles and Justin Cryer and develop younger linebackers as it prepares for No. 1 Ohio State in Week 2.

Five Big-Name Programs May Be Overrated in 2026 Preseason Rankings

Five Big-Name Programs May Be Overrated in 2026 Preseason Rankings

An early look at the 2026 preseason rankings argues that five high-profile programs—Texas, Alabama, LSU, Miami, and Penn State—are overrated because polls lean on brand, transfer portal headlines, and past reputations rather than current rosters or recent results. Each program faces roster turnover or quarterback uncertainty: Texas with an unsettled line and Arch Manning-era hype; Alabama lacking a defined starting quarterback and a struggling run game; LSU undergoing its largest roster overhaul in program history with an unproven QB; Miami losing major starters and relying on a first-year quarterback; and Penn State in a transition year under Matt Campbell with a largely new roster. The piece contends these factors don’t justify top-five or high-teen placements given last season’s results and the current roster reality.
