Austin, TX – The Texas Longhorns will be without three key contributors in 2025, as offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., running back Jaydon Blue, and offensive lineman Hayden Conner have all declared their intentions to enter the 2025 NFL Draft.
Banks, a highly-touted prospect, emerged as a cornerstone of the Texas offensive line during his time in Austin. His athleticism and pass-blocking prowess earned him widespread acclaim among NFL scouts. Blue, a dynamic playmaker, provided a dual-threat dimension to the Texas offense, showcasing his ability to run between the tackles and make plays in the passing game. Conner, a consistent performer on the offensive line, provided valuable depth and experience to the unit.
The departures of Banks, Blue, and Conner will leave significant holes on the Texas roster. However, the Longhorns have consistently recruited at a high level and are expected to reload with talented players.
This year’s NFL Draft will be an exciting one for Texas fans, as they eagerly await to see how these talented players perform at the next level.
