Spring football is on the horizon for the 13 FBS programs in the state of Texas. That means it is time to shift focus forward and rank the 10 best players at each position across the state, continuing with wide receivers and tight ends. 

The Lone Star State sent 10 programs to bowl games and two to the College Football Playoff as only Rice, UTEP, and Houston missed out on the postseason after the 2024 season. The 2025 season looks like another big year for the Great State because of the returning talent and added star power from the transfer portal. 

Previous: QB | RB | WR/TE 

1. Trey Zuhn, Texas A&M 

The offensive line was a weak spot for Texas A&M entering the last few seasons and injuries at the quarterback position mounted up because of it. Not anymore. The Aggies now boast one of the best offensive line units in America, at least on paper, entering 2025. Zuhn has started 34 games at left tackle in Aggieland since the start of the 2022 season. He was a third-team All-SEC selection last year and was the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after the win against Florida. 

2. Armaj Reed-Adams, Texas A&M 

The former Kansas transfer started all 13 games at right guard for the Aggies last season and became the spiritual leader and enforcer in the trenches. He enters 2025 with 28 career starts in 44 appearances. The DeSoto product is a bully at 6-foot-5, 330 pounds and should be in line for All-SEC contention.  

3. DJ Campbell, Texas 

The former five-star recruit from Arlington Bowie has lived up to the hype while on the Forty Acres as a stalwart at right guard for a unit that was a Joe Moore Award semifinalist in 2023 and a finalist in 2024. The 6-3, 330-pound Campbell adds some physicality and nastiness to an offensive line that doesn’t lack skill or technique, especially at the tackle positions. He’s started 30 games in his career and is the only returning starter for the Longhorns along the offensive line. 

4. Logan Parr, SMU

Parr will be a sixth-year senior in 2025 after starting his career at Texas in 2020 and only playing in three games as a redshirt freshman in 2021. He’s started 26 of the last 27 games for the Ponies, mostly at left guard. Parr was a third-team All-ACC selection in 2024 and a first-team All-AAC selection in 2023. 

5. Howard Sampson, Texas Tech

The Humble native began his college career at North Texas before transferring to North Carolina where he started in the first six games of the 2024 season at tackle before an injury. The 6-8, 325-pound junior is an imposing figure on the outside who was considered one of the top three offensive linemen in the transfer portal. He’ll immediately start for the Red Raiders. 

6. Omar Aigbedion, Baylor

A former All-Conference performer at Montana State, the Katy product seamlessly transitioned into FBS football while starting all 13 games at right guard for Baylor last season. He was named second-team All-Big 12 by the Associated Press and was a first-team member of the All-Texas squad. He was third on the team in snaps played. 

7. Coltin Deery, TCU 

The former Maryland transfer has started 20 consecutive games dating back to 2023. He started 12 times at left guard for the Horned Frogs in 2024 before manning the center position in the blowout win over Louisiana in the New Mexico Bowl. He started the final seven games at left guard in 2023. At Maryland, Deery started twice at center before transferring to Fort Worth after the 2022 campaign. 

8. PJ Williams, SMU

Williams started all 14 games for the Ponies during their magical run to the College Football Playoff, including 11 at right tackle. He was a third-team All-ACC selection and a member of the All-Texas squad. Williams began his career at Texas A&M and is a Dickinson native. 

9. Hunter Zambrano, Texas Tech 

The Illinois State transfer was one of three splashes along the offensive line for Texas Tech in the transfer portal, joining Sampson and Will Jados. Zambrano can play guard or tackle for the Red Raiders. He’ll help the unit improve in pass pro no matter where he lines up, though our guess is at right tackle. 

10. Trevor Goosby, Texas

Goosby is the heir apparent to Kelvin Banks as starting left tackle for the Longhorns. His performances late in the season while Banks and Cameron Williams nursed injuries proved the Horns are in good hands and that Arch Manning’s blind side should be well protected. He was an All-American and one of the top prep offensive tackle prospects in the state while at Melissa.
