Goosby enrolled at Texas ahead of the 2023 season, taking a redshirt season. He appeared in 15 games in 2024, making two starts. Last year, he became the starting left tackle and was named First-Team All-SEC. He could decide to return to school in 2027 or head to the NFL.
Goosby had been seen as a top pick for the 2027 NFL Draft. In the latest ClutchPoints Mock Draft, Goosby is slated to be selected sixth overall . Meanwhile, other outlets have Goosby going a little later, but almost all of them have the tackle going in the top ten of the 2027 NFL Draft.
With Goosby out, Andre Cojo will be moving into the left tackle role. The senior offensive lineman stepped in last week against Ole Miss and had a solid run-blocking grade . Still, he struggled somewhat in pass protection, giving up a sack and a quarterback hurry.
Texas returns to the field on Saturday to host Mississippi State.
