Ryan Niblett discusses fastest Longhorns football players heading into 2026

Ryan Niblett, a kick return specialist for the Texas Longhorns, names three candidates for the fastest player on the team ahead of the 2026 season. While Niblett holds notable speed himself, clocked at 20.8 mph during a 75-yard return against Oklahoma, he highlights freshman Kohen Brown, junior Ryan Wingo, and senior Warren Roberson as potential contenders. Brown reportedly reached 23.1 mph in summer conditioning, while Wingo was timed at 22 mph in a game last season. Roberson's inclusion surprised many, despite his lack of standout sprint times in high school. As the team prepares for the new season, these speed metrics may play a crucial role in their offensive and special teams strategies.
