In this story:

The Texas Longhorns are gearing up for one of the most highly-anticipated seasons yet this fall, as championship expectations are being met with a load of star-level talent across the board.

The 2026 roster has been taking the first steps toward prepping for the season through spring practice, giving players a chance to build on-field chemistry and show the coaching staff what they can do.

Texas is now halfway through its spring schedule, which means the Longhorns have had some ample opportunities to put together some highlights during the live portions of practice.

Texas star wide receiver Cam Coleman has been at the center of the attention during spring practice, but the program's social media team recently released a highlight clip that showcases a ton of different players.

The clip features a carry from Texas running backs Hollywood Smothers and Michael Terry III, a pass breakup from cornerback Samari "Smoke" Matthews, a touchdown pass from quarterback Dia Bell to wide receiver Ty Boatright, and much more.

Take a look:

Of course, it wouldn't be spring practice without a Coleman highlight as well. He turned a ton of heads earlier in the week when a clip of him making an impressive contested catch for a touchdown over Matthews made the rounds on social media.

This is likely just of many big plays he's made so far during spring camp.

Take a look:

Texas wide receiver Ryan Wingo met with the media on Thursday and talked about what he expects from the offense this upcoming season now that Coleman is in the fold.

"He's just another great playmaker on the other side," Wingo said. "So more one-on-one matchups. Got the running backs in the backfield as well. So it's gonna be a good season, and we're gonna be able to really showcase our abilities. And my role, I don't really think it's changed. We just got another great option on the other side."

With both Dia Bell and KJ Lacey featured in the highlight clip, Texas fans have been wondering what the young quarterbacks have to offer. Wingo made it clear that he's excited for what they both bring to the table.

"Those boys are gonna be good!" Wingo said.

The Longhorns will have seven more spring practices before heading into summer workouts.
