Longhorns dismiss linebacker Ty’Anthony Smith from team due to conduct issues

Texas Longhorns junior linebacker Ty’Anthony Smith has been dismissed from the football team due to conduct deemed detrimental, as confirmed by head coach Steve Sarkisian. Smith had been a notable player, recording nine tackles and two interceptions during his starting appearance in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. The Longhorns, scheduled to open their 2026 season against the Texas State Bobcats on September 5, will need to adjust their linebacker depth, relying on transfer Rasheem Biles and others in the wake of Smith's departure.
