2026 College Football Season Draws Ticket Rush and Showcases NFL Draft Prospects

Ticket sales for LSU's 2026 home football games are nearly sold out, with single‑game tickets already limited as fans prepare for the first season under head coach Lane Kiffin. The schedule features marquee matchups, including the season opener against Clemson at Tiger Stadium and contests with SEC powerhouses such as Texas, Alabama and Texas A&M.

Meanwhile, the Texas Longhorns' 2026 roster includes several players projected to attract NFL attention ahead of the 2027 draft. Key prospects highlighted are quarterback Arch Manning, defensive end Colin Simmons, offensive tackle Trevor Goosby, wide receiver Cam Coleman and offensive tackle Melvin Siani. Coach Steve Sarkisian and new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp are overseeing their development as scouts monitor their progress throughout the season.
