Texas Longhorns Sign Michigan State Transfer TE Michael Masunas

Texas Longhorns are gearing up for a national title run with the college football season just a few months away, and they've added Michigan State transfer TE Michael Masunas to their roster.

What's the latest on Michael Masunas?

Masunas joined the Longhorns after three solid seasons at Michigan State, finishing his Spartans career with 24 receptions for 270 yards and three touchdowns.

He set new career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns before entering the transfer portal.

How will Masunas fit in at Texas?

Masunas will be part of a revamped offense that includes wide receiver Cam Coleman and running backs Hollywood Smothers and Raheem Brown.

He'll work with quarterback Arch Manning, who is entering his second season as the Longhorns starter.

The Longhorns' next game is against the Texas State Bobcats on 2026-09-05.

What can we expect from Masunas?

Masunas recorded 19 receptions and finished with more than 37 receiving yards for the first time in his final season as a Spartan.

He'll get an upgrade at quarterback and could be in for a career year if he takes advantage of his improved situation.

The Longhorns' offense should make life difficult for defensive coordinators with talented veterans like Ryan Wingo and Emmet Mosley V.

Masunas will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself in the burnt orange.

What's next for the Longhorns?

The Longhorns are preparing for a big season with their revamped offense and new additions like Masunas.

They'll look to make a strong start against the Texas State Bobcats on 2026-09-05.
