Parker Livingstone will be on the other sideline for the Red River Rivalry in 2026.
The former Texas wide receiver has committed to Oklahoma, per multiple reports. Livingstone has been Arch Manning’s roommate at Texas and had 29 catches for 516 yards and six touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2025.

Livingstone was the team’s fourth-leading receiver and one of just three Longhorns to have over 500 yards receiving. He also led all Texas players with more than two catches at 17.8 yards per catch.
Days ago, Livingstone announced he was entering the transfer portal. In a post on social media, he made it seem that leaving Texas was not his first choice.
“Never in a million years did I think I would be going into the portal looking for a new home,” Livingstone wrote. Some things are out of my control. Such is the reality of the ever-changing landscape of college football.”
Texas’ wide receiver room is going to look a lot different in 2026. Leading receiver Ryan Wingo is back, but No. 2 receiver DeAndre Moore entered the portal before the Citrus Bowl and tight end Jack Endries is heading to the NFL Draft. The Longhorns have been mentioned as a prominent suitor for Auburn receiver Cam Coleman. The five-star recruit is currently in the transfer portal.

Reloading at receiver will be key for a Texas team that is getting Manning back for a fourth season in 2026. The preseason Heisman favorite will likely have that status again heading into 2026 after a strong close to the season. Manning totaled four touchdowns in the team’s Citrus Bowl victory over Michigan and scored 11 total touchdowns across the Longhorns’ last three games of the season.
