All-American offensive lineman officially joins Longhorns after he's granted a 6th year

Austin, Texas — Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian announced that All-American offensive guard Laurence Seymore has been granted a sixth year of eligibility and will join the Longhorns for the upcoming season. The news adds immediate experience and pedigree to the offensive line room as the program prepares for spring practice.

Sarkian confirmed the development while also providing updates on quarterback Arch Manning’s anticipated return timeline and addressing spring injury situations across the roster. Seymore’s arrival is expected to bolster an offensive front that will be tasked with protecting the quarterback and creating running lanes in the fall.

The lineman’s extra year was approved by the NCAA, allowing him to suit up in burnt orange after previously establishing himself as one of the nation’s top interior blockers. Details regarding Seymore’s exact arrival date and participation in spring drills were not specified, but his presence is already being viewed as a significant win for the Longhorns heading into the 2024 campaign.

Further updates on Manning’s recovery and additional injury notes will be monitored as the team progresses through spring workouts.
