2026 Week 4 Player Grades
Certified BOA Player Performance grades from Week 4. Performance is absolute and position-specific; Game Impact remains separate.
Texas position-unit grades
Each unit grade is built from 50% verified production and 50% verified performance. The cards stay simple; open any unit to see the evidence behind the letter.
QBC+Why?Uneven efficiency despite enough production to keep Texas unbeaten.
Texas is at 928 passing yards through four games with 7 passing touchdowns and 3 interceptions. The passing game has shown explosive stretches, but the week-to-week efficiency has been inconsistent, especially against Ohio State, UTSA and Tennessee. Production is solid; performance has not been consistently high enough for a B-range grade.
RBB-Why?Good touchdown production, but the rushing efficiency has been inconsistent.
Texas running backs have produced 527 rushing yards and all 8 of the team's rushing touchdowns through four games. The group has created scoring value, but the offense has not consistently generated efficient early-down rushing and was held to 61 team rushing yards at Tennessee. That keeps the room in the B- range rather than making it a clear strength.
WRB+Why?The offense's strongest skill-position room so far.
The receiver room has supplied the bulk of Texas' explosive passing production, led by multiple high-impact games from Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley V. The group has created touchdowns and downfield gains even when the overall passing offense has been inconsistent. Strong production plus strong per-target impact earns a B+.
TEC-Why?Limited verified receiving production through four games.
The primary tight ends have combined for roughly 100 receiving yards with no receiving touchdowns in the current canonical player statistics. BOA does not yet have trustworthy player-level blocking assignments, so this grade intentionally reflects verified receiving production and performance rather than pretending to grade blocking from team results.
OLC-Why?The clearest offensive area that still needs to improve.
Texas is averaging 3.64 team rushing yards per carry through four games and has allowed 10 sacks. The line has had good stretches, but the combination of inconsistent run efficiency and negative pass-protection plays has limited the offense. This is a unit-level grade; BOA is not assigning individual lineman grades without player-level blocking data.
EDGEAWhy?The most dominant Texas position group through four games.
Texas has 15 team sacks through four games, capped by the 10-sack performance at Tennessee, and the edge room has driven a large share of that disruption. Colin Simmons and Lance Jackson have supplied elite pass-rush production while the rotation has continued to generate negative plays. Both production and actual game impact are A-level.
DLA-Why?High-level interior disruption and excellent run-defense results.
Texas has allowed 397 rushing yards on 140 opponent carries through four games — just 2.84 yards per carry. The interior front has helped keep opponents behind schedule while also contributing sacks and tackles for loss. The combination of run control and disruption earns an A-.
LBB+Why?Productive, disruptive and central to an excellent run defense.
The linebacker group has consistently contributed tackles, tackles for loss and turnover production while playing behind a front that has held opponents under 3.0 yards per carry. It has been a major strength, but the available BOA data does not support separating every coverage responsibility cleanly enough to push the room into the A tier.
DBA-Why?Much better than the old individual-impact averages made it look.
Opponents are completing only 59.5% of their passes against Texas at 5.9 yards per attempt and 171.8 passing yards per game through four games. Those unit-level results are excellent. BOA still does not claim individual coverage grades without defender-to-target assignment data, but the secondary's verified collective performance is A- quality.
KAWhy?Reliable scoring production with perfect field-goal execution.
The current canonical season statistics show Texas kickers 7-for-7 on field goals through four games. That combination of production and execution earns an A.
PB-Why?Solid punting production without being a defining team advantage.
Texas has 13 punts for 571 yards in the current season statistics, an average of 43.9 yards per punt. The room has been dependable, but the available data does not show enough consistent field-position dominance to move it into the top tier.
1Colin SimmonsEDGE · BOA Defensive Impact · Reviewed93.5A-Why this grade?
Defensive Impact uses verified production: 8 tackles, 5 TFL, 5 sacks, 0 INT, 0 passes defended and 0 forced fumbles. It does not claim to grade coverage or assignment execution without complete film-charting data.
10 source-attributed charted pressures scored separately from official QB hurries; eight source-attributed run stops add a bounded 2.5-point provisional charting adjustment. Josh Yourish citing PFF reported the pressures; Ryan Fowler charted the run stops. Pass-rush snaps remain unknown because published counts conflict. Reviewed Performance Grade: 93.5.
