Texas has announced that analyst Jason McEndoo, who previously worked with the tight ends, will now shift his responsibilities to the offensive line. McEndoo, who has extensive experience coaching offensive linemen, will join a group of analysts dedicated to helping improve the Longhorns' O-line after a disappointing 2025 season.

Why it matters

The offensive line was a weak spot for Texas in 2025, and the team is looking to shore up that unit ahead of the 2026 season. By bringing in McEndoo, who has a proven track record of success coaching offensive linemen, the Longhorns are signaling that they are committed to improving their play in the trenches to better protect star quarterback Arch Manning.

The details

McEndoo, who spent the previous 10 seasons at Oklahoma State coaching 'Cowboy Backs' (a term used to describe tight ends and H-backs), will now shift his focus to the offensive line. As a player, he was a second-team All-Pac-10 selection at Washington State and has extensive coaching experience on the O-line, including seven Big Sky titles at Montana State.

  • McEndoo joined the Texas staff as an analyst in 2025 to work with the tight ends.
  • On February 10, 2026, McEndoo announced on X that his responsibilities have changed, and he will now be a senior offensive line analyst for the Longhorns.
