Steve Sarkisian encouraged by what he's seen from his 'versatile' tight end room

Last season for the Longhorns, four scholarship tight ends saw at least 100 snaps: Nick Townsend (112), Jordan Washington (204), Spencer Shannon (207), and Jack Endries (690). Two of those players, Endries and Washington, are not on the 2026 roster. But Townsend, Shannon, Emaree Winston, and transfer addition Michael Masunas are and they have Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian "encouraged" based on what he's seen from them on tape during Texas' spring practices.
