One of the nation’s top cornerback prospects has entered the portal. Colorado defensive back Cormani McClain is looking to transfer and Texas is said to have expressed interest in bringing him to Austin. McClain says he’s heard from 11 schools since he went to the transfer portal. Texas is one of those programs. Should Texas bring McClain to the Forty Acres, it could be as much of a long term move as an immediate impact addition. That’s not to say that the former top cornerback recruit would not make an immediate impact, but rather that the Longhorns wouldn’t have to count on it. Texas is in a ..read more

Texas is trending for two of the top defensive tackles in the spring transfer portal opening. The Longhorns have long been the favorite for Arizona defensive tackle Bill Norton, but now trend for another former Pac-12 talent. Texas is reportedly hosting UCLA defensive tackle Jay Toia in the early going of the portal reopening. Horns247’s Jordan Scruggs and Hank South have entered crystal ball predictions for the Longhorns to add Toia to the fold. It’s early, but Texas faithful have to like where the team is positioned in the recruitment. It doesn’t appear that the Longhorns are opposed to taki ..read more

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian isn’t going anywhere. He shared why Alabama’s head coach vacancy didn’t move the needle for him in an interview with ESPN. Sarkisian explained his brief contemplation of leaving for Tuscaloosa. “Naturally, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about it. But it took me all of about 60 seconds to say, ‘Yeah, I’m not doing that.’ I had an awesome two years at Alabama and loved my time under Coach Saban, but ultimately you want to reap what you sow. We’ve poured a ton into this program for three years, and we’re on the cusp, I think, of going on a run that will be ..read more

The Texas Longhorns have one of the five best rosters in college football for the 2024 season. It’s why so many outlets ranked them so highly in preseason. The Longhorns can still improve. There aren’t many positions where Texas can get much better through the transfer portal. Offensively, I am skeptical there’s a position worth considering an upgrade. The positions worth watching are on the defensive side. Texas is good at cornerback. Malik Muhammad was billed as the best player on the field recently in spring practices leading into his second college season. Jahdae Barron, Jaylon Guilbeau, T ..read more

TCU defensive tackle Damonic Williams is set to visit six schools. Texas is one of them. Williams has a visit set for four teams beginning with the Oklahoma Sooners on April 20-21. Oklahoma has emerged as the early favorite for Williams and the fact that the lineman is opting to visit Norman for the team’s spring game is telling. Next is Texas, who some believe to be the next highest priority for Williams. He’s set to be in Austin on April 23 and 24. Colorado and LSU are next on Williams’ schedule of visits. Colorado’s inclusion speaks to the continued respect for head coach Deion Sanders and ..read more

Texas’ 2025 recruiting class currently consists of six commits. It’s ranked the No. 8 class in the nation and the No. 4 class in the SEC, according to On3. Each of the six commits are four-star prospects and come from Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The Longhorns highest rated commit in the class is edge Lance Jackson. The Pleasant Grove (Texarkana, TX) product is the No. 4 edge in the nation. In the latest On300 recruiting ranking for the 2025 cycle, five Texas commits appeared on the list. The only Longhorn commit that did not crack the ranking is four-star tight end Emaree Winston. He ..read more

The transfer portal is open and several teams are set to battle for the top players at multiple positions. Texas, along with several others, finds itself in need of a defensive tackle addition.

Some speculate that ..read more
