Overview
- Ian Geffrard, a redshirt sophomore, committed after visiting Austin and becomes Will Muschamp’s first addition as defensive coordinator.
- He started all 12 games for Arkansas in 2025 and logged 25 tackles with four tackles for loss after appearing in 24 games over the past two seasons.
- Texas targeted interior size following the departures of rotation linemen Cole Brevard and Travis Shaw due to exhausted eligibility.
- Geffrard had reported portal interest from Kentucky, SMU and Auburn before choosing the Longhorns.
- He is projected to slot into the defensive tackle rotation on running downs and could contend to start alongside returner Hero Kanu, with further line additions possible during the portal window.
