Draft Profile: Bio
Trevor Goosby was a three-star recruit from Melissa High School in Texas, where he also played basketball, and he flipped from TCU to Texas after playing in the 2022 U.S. Army Bowl. His father, Michael, played at Mary Hardin-Baylor and North Texas and had brief NFL stints, his brother Austin plays basketball at Texas, and Hall of Fame cornerback Dick 'Night Train' Lane was a great uncle.Goosby redshirted in 2023, then made two starts in 2024, including the Peach Bowl playoff win over Arizona State at right tackle. He became the full-time left tackle in 2025, starting all 13 games and allowing three sacks while protecting Arch Manning. SEC coaches put him on their All-SEC first team, and in January he chose to return for 2026.
A bone bruise in his left knee in August did not cost him a start, and he opened the season at left tackle. He allowed one pressure on 46 pass-blocking snaps when Texas rallied past Ohio State and was honored by both the SEC and the Outland Trophy that week. On 24 October he hurt his left knee in the first quarter against Ole Miss. The diagnosis was a torn patellar tendon, and after surgery on 27 October his season is over, though doctors expect a full recovery. He has one season of eligibility left and has said he will decide on his future in the coming weeks.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Rare timed athleticism, the fastest-testing lineman on this board
- Allowed one pressure on 46 pass-blocking snaps against Ohio State
- First-team All-SEC by the coaches as a first-year starter in 2025
- Length that ends reps when the first punch lands
- Recovery speed that erases his own mistakes in pass protection
- Pass and run tape both sit near the top of the class
- Earned national weekly honors from the Outland Trophy in September
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Torn patellar tendon against Ole Miss ended his 2026 season
- Kentucky's compact power rushers gave him his worst tape in 2025
- Hands and anchor still trail the athlete against heavy bull rushes
Scouting Report: Summary
Goosby is an exceptional athlete at tackle, with functional length and recovery speed that let him erase his own mistakes, and he protected Arch Manning's blind side well enough in 2025 to make first-team All-SEC as a first-year starter. He moves better than any lineman in this group, and the traits show up on tape, not just in testing.His 2026 season was building exactly the case teams want to see. He allowed one pressure against Ohio State in the comeback win and earned national recognition for it, and through seven starts he had given up eight pressures and no sacks. He had also been flagged only once in seven games. He was the steadiest piece of a Texas line that needed one, after preseason first-team All-America recognition from the Walter Camp Foundation and Phil Steele.
However, the knee is now the first item on his file. A bone bruise in his left knee in August did not cost him time, but on 24 October he tore the patellar tendon in the same knee in the first quarter against Ole Miss and had surgery three days later. Doctors expect a full recovery, but a patellar tendon repair is a long rehab, and it will shape his pre-draft process and possibly his decision about a final college season. On the field, his hands and anchor still trail the athlete, and Kentucky's compact power rushers exposed a leverage habit in 2025 that NFL bull rushers will look for.
Overall, Goosby is a young, ascending blindside tackle with the highest athletic ceiling of any tackle in the class, but the technique and the medical both carry questions. He projects as a first-round tackle if the knee checks out, with franchise left tackle upside and a fallback as a zone-scheme starter on either side.
Update - 11/03/2026
Goosby suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of the 34-27 win over Ole Miss on 24 October and was carted off. It is his second knee problem of the year, after a bone bruise in August camp.
