The Texas Longhorns, led by Steve Sarkisian, are making waves not only on the football field but also in the classroom with a record-setting team GPA.
Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian understands the pressure that comes with leading the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff. Sarkisian doesn't want to fail Texas fans, after losing in the semi-final during the 2023 season.
Who got the highest grades as Texas reached the CFP semifinals? And which units struggled for a team that went 13-3 and reached the SEC title game?

Ohio State football has consistently proven its the best team in the country, and Steve Sarkisian believes that as well.
The football team's GPA improved to 3.27 in 2024. The mark was good for the best in program history. The strong GPA is impressive given the high academic standards at The University of Texas. It stands as yet another positive indicator of culture change heading into a fifth season with Steve Sarkisian as head football coach.
Dalton Williams, who has past offensive coordinator experience and spent this past season as an offensive analyst for Steve Sarkisian's SEC runner-up Texas LongHorns, is set to join Charles Huff's Southern Miss staff, FootballScoop has learned.
“Texas running back Nik Sanders has entered the transfer portal, @On3sports has learned,” Pete Nakos said in a post.
While teams posting GPAs usually goes horribly wrong for college football programs, Texas' new season-high GPA, which equates to a B+ average, certainly deserves some props. Especially when you factor in just how much one of the top football teams in the country is focused on during the season.
