Feldman talked about Texas’ new starting left tackle in 2025.
“Once ranked as the 34th best offensive tackle prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, Goosby has proven to be a terrific evaluation. As a redshirt freshman last season, he started two games, one at left tackle and the other at right. PFF gave Goosby an 80.8 pass blocking grade for the season, which was higher than Cameron Williams, Texas’ starter at right tackle, although the freshman had a much smaller sample size.
At 6-7 1/3, 311 pounds, Goosby clocked a flying 10-yard sprint of 1.44 seconds, grading at an extremely high level in terms of his acceleration for an offensive lineman. His max speed of 20 mph this offseason was almost as impressive. He bench pressed 365 pounds and jumped the highest of any of the Longhorn O-linemen. His leaping ability and body control are also evident in this video of him doing a 360-dunk last spring.”
Goosby has held it down at left tackle since Kelvin Banks left for the NFL. Big shoes to fill for the former three-year starter, but Goosby adds more size and athleticism to the position. He was also selected to the All-SEC Preseason Third Team two weeks ago.
It runs in the family. His father, Michael Goosby, played in the NFL, and Trevor’s little brother, Austin Goosby, is a highly-rated basketball prospect for the Class of 2026.
Our Ian Boyd discussed Goosby this offseason.
“Adapting to Goosby’s strengths
In the run game, it’s not obvious much will need to change in the transition from Banks to Goosby. The new left tackle has the quickness for outside zone but also the strength and screening skill for inside zone or the power/gap run game.
The inside zone game for a tackle is mostly about controlling the Edge or end across from them on their outside shoulder and ideally getting a little bit of displacement or control so they either try to fit one gap and get screened away from the back or even driven off the ball.”
Goosby making the Freaks List is one of the coolest parts of college football and tells us the season is around the corner.
