Goosby is expected to make a complete recovery with no residual effects on his knee, but he will miss the remainder of the season. The surgery was performed by Dr. Daniel Cooper in Dallas.
Goosby is undecided on his future, sources said. He will choose whether to return to Texas or declare for the NFL draft in the upcoming month.
Goosby suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Longhorns' 34-27 win over Ole Miss on Oct. 24 and was carted off the field. Senior backup Andre Cojoe replaced him for the remainder of the game.
Goosby is expected to be one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the 2027 NFL draft and was the No. 8 pick in the latest mock draft by ESPN's Field Yates. The Melissa, Texas, native has started 22 games over the past three seasons for the Longhorns, and he earned first-team All-SEC honors from the league's coaches in 2025.
