The Texas Longhorns, led by the likes of Arch Manning, among others, will be playing their next regular-season game without one of their key cogs. On Friday, Nov. 28, Manning and the rest of coach Steve Sarkisian‘s 2025 Longhorns are taking on coach Mike Elko’s Texas A&M Aggies for a Week 14 game of this year’s college football season on their home pitch, the DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.
Unfortunately for Manning and company, they will have to play their final regular-season matchup without the services of their standout linebacker, Anthony Hill. As reported by collegiate football analyst Pete Thamel on X/Twitter, Hill is confirmed to be out for the game against the Aggies, as he has been listed as a game-time decision. This means Hill’s next appearance will likely come in postseason play.
Star LB Anthony Hill will not play for Texas, per @MollyAMcGrath. He was considered a true game-time decision against Texas A&M.

As it stands, it has since been reported that Hill is suffering from a hand injury that he sustained during the Longhorns’ 15-point loss, 25-10, at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 12 on Nov. 15. The junior did eventually come back to finish the game, but it may have been for naught, as Texas eventually lost and he had to sit out their next fixture against the South Carolina Gamecocks in Week 13.
Hill is in his third year of college football in the 2025 campaign, and he has spent it all with the Texas-based program. The Denton, Texas, native has been handed the keys to the Longhorns’ defense due to his outstanding physicality and scoring stoppage, which is a factor in why he and his team have had a couple of deep postseason runs.
The 2025 Texas Longhorns Head Into The Final Week Of The Regular Season As The SEC’s Fifth Seed
Heading into the Lone Star showdown against the Texas A&M Aggies, the 2025 Texas Longhorns are ranked as the No. 5 overall seed in the SEC with an 8-3 record (5-2 SEC).
They are fresh off a 15-point triumph over the South Carolina Gamecocks, 52-37, on Nov. 22, as they are aiming to close out the regular season with another win, this time against their state rivals, in the hopes of winning it all this year.
