This list is quite telling in terms of who is considering returning for next season.
This nightmare of a season is finally winding down, as Texas plays their final game on Friday against Kansas State.
Prior to the game, the school will be honoring a total of 29 players, including seniors and a handful of juniors, that are expected to move on from the program. The reasons could vary from graduation, intentions of transferring, or taking their talents to the NFL.
There are some surprising names on the list that have decided to leave the team, but as Steve Sarkisian has consistently reiterated, the coaching staff is preparing for a high amount of turnover in order to bring in players that better fit the scheme and culture. Here is the full list of players that are being honored prior to the Kansas State game.
SENIORS NOT LISTED: DeMarvion Overshown, D'Shawn Jamison, Anthony Cook, Montrell Estell
JUNIORS LISTED: Ayodele Adeoye, Ryan Bujcevski, Keondre Coburn, Rafiti Ghirmai, Al'Vonte Woodard. pic.twitter.com/H7YwJZ5ag3

Some notable players that will be recognized include starting defensive tackle Keondre Coburn, kicker/punter Cameron Dicker, junior linebacker Ayodele Adeoye, tight end Cade Brewer, and safety B.J. Foster.
Three notable players that will be not be honored, meaning there is a strong chance for return, are linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, defensive back/return man D’Shawn Jamison, and defensive back Anthony Cook.
It is likely that the roster will look completely different next season, but having these familiar faces and experienced players could help the team grow.

UT is in desperate need of a victory after dropping three straight games. Here are the BetMGM odds plus how to watch the Kansas State game.
Texas is in desperate need of a victory Tuesday night after dropping three consecutive games. Oklahoma, Baylor and Oklahoma State have all taken advantage of a Longhorn squad coming off a COVID-19 pause while recovering from the virus themselves.
Luckily, Texas is traveling to Manhattan, Kansas, to face the 5-15 (1-10 in Big 12 play) Kansas State Wildcats. Losers of 10 straight, the Wildcats have not won since Dec. 29 against Omaha. Texas beat the Wildcats in Austin on Jan. 16, 82-67.
In the double-overtime loss to Oklahoma State, Texas shot 34.1% from the floor and 14.3% from behind the 3-point line. Courtney Ramey was an abysmal 1-of-9 from deep. If the Longhorns want to get back to their winning ways in the Big 12, their shooting must improve against the Wildcats.

Texas responded from their first Big 12 loss of the season with a resounding victory over Kansas State. Here are three reasons for the win.
Texas responded from their first Big 12 loss of the season with a resounding victory over Kansas State. Coming off of the Longhorns’ two losses on the 2020-2021 season, they have bounced back by winning the next two games by an average of 18.0 points.
Without the likes of Greg Brown, Kai Jones, and Brock Cunninghman available due to COVID-19 protocols, Kamaka Hepa had to step up in their absence. He finished with 15 points and was the team’s second-leading scorer.
Three other Longhorns were in double figures. They are now back on the right track in Big 12 play, currently in second place with a 5-1 record. Here are three reasons for Texas’ win over Kansas State on Saturday night.
Kansas State will come to Austin with a 1-4 record in the Big 12. Here is how to watch, listen and stream the game on Saturday night.
Texas is coming off of their first conference loss to Texas Tech. Matt McClung hit a game-winning shot after the Longhorns let a halftime lead slip away from them. Both of their losses this season have come at home.
Now, Kansas State will come to Austin. The Wildcats have struggled this season, having a 5-8 overall and a 1-4 Big 12 record. It has been a week since they have taken the court, coming off a 16 point loss to Oklahoma State.
For Texas, this is the type of game you cannot lose. Kansas State is not an NCAA Tournament level team and based on the latest NET Rankings, they would be a Quadrant Four loss for the Longhorns. Courtney Ramey, Matt Coleman and company must respond in a big way.
