The Texas Longhorns were set to have a strong presence at the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, with five players originally slated to participate in the showcase event. However, as the game approaches this Saturday, only one Longhorn—defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell—remains on the official roster.
Andrew Mukuba, Alfred Collins, Gunnar Helm, and Vernon Broughton had all accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl, a premier opportunity for NFL prospects to perform in front of scouts, coaches, and executives ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite their initial participation in the week of workouts and activities, the length of the Texas football season has left the other four players inactive for the weekend.
Sorrell will now carry the burnt orange flag solo in Mobile, aiming to showcase his skills and leave an impression on NFL decision-makers during one of the most prestigious pre-draft events.
Barryn Sorrell, a fourth-year defensive end, has cemented his legacy as a cornerstone of the Texas Longhorns’ defense. With 39 career starts in 48 collegiate games, Sorrell delivered his best season yet. He was one of just four Longhorn defensive players to register double-digit tackles for loss (10.5) and at least 5.5 sacks. Additionally, he led the defense with 12 quarterback hurries, the only Longhorn to achieve double-digit hurries.
