Texas Longhorns running back Hollywood Smothers has been ruled out for the upcoming game against Missouri, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle. The announcement comes as the team prepares for its SEC matchup, with five additional Longhorns players listed as questionable for the contest.
Smothers, who wears number 2 for Texas, was photographed handing off from quarterback Arch Manning during the Red River Rivalry game against Oklahoma in Dallas on October 10, 2026. The running back has been part of the Longhorns' backfield rotation this season.
The status of the five questionable players remains uncertain as game day approaches. Texas will need to adjust its offensive game plan without Smothers available against the Missouri defense.
