One of the top pass rushers on the roster, Oghoufo originally transferred to Texas from Notre Dame, making an immediate impact in 2021.

This season, Oghoufo had 54 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

With the talent already on the 40 Acres of Barryn Sorrell and Alfred Collins, as well as the emerging talent of Justice Finkley, Zac Swanson, Ethan Burke, Jaray Bledsoe, Kristopher Ross, Aaron Bryant and J’Mond Tapp, the Longhorns will still have a solid group of pass rushers in 2023.

Incoming freshmen Colton Vasek, Billy Walton, Tasuili Akana, and the potentially positionally versatile Derion Gullette, could also help fill the void left by Oghoufo.

JAN 12 IBRAHEEM OUT

Texas Longhorns defensive back Ishmael Ibraheem has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Ibraheem was once a member of the 2021 SI99, and one of the Longhorns’ top recruits.

However, his career was marred by legal troubles and injury issues, and he was never able to catch on in Austin.

He was suspended from the program indefinitely in September following an arrest.

JAN 8 OMIERE TO ARIZONA STATE

Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Troy Omiere has found a new home via the NCAA Transfer Portal, committing to the Arizona State Sun Devils on Sunday.

He is the second Longhorns player to commit to Arizona State, joining ex-linebacker, Prince Dorbah.

Despite his immense talent, Omiere never quite caught on with the Longhorns due to injuries.

JAN 5 OGHOUFO IN THE PORTAL

Top Texas edge rusher Ovie Oghoufo reportedly entered the transfer portal on Thursday as a graduate transfer.

One of the top pass rushers on the roster, Oghoufo originally transferred to Texas from Notre Dame, making an immediate impact in 2021.

This season, Oghoufo had 54 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

With the talent already on the 40 Acres of Barryn Sorrell and Alfred Collins, as well as the emerging talent of Justice Finkley, Zac Swanson, Ethan Burke, Jaray Bledsoe, Kristopher Ross, Aaron Bryant and J’Mond Tapp, the Longhorns will still have a solid group of pass rushers in 2023.

Incoming freshmen Colton Vasek, Billy Walton, Tasuili Akana, and the potentially positionally versatile Derion Gullette, could also help fill the void left by Oghoufo.

JAN 4 RB JAYDON BLUE TRANSFERRING?

The Texas Longhorns are set to lose another body from their running back room, as freshman Jaydon Blue will be entering the transfer portal, per reports Wednesday.

However, Blue has since tweeted that he is ‘locked in’.

Blue, who was one of the biggest names in Texas’ 2022 recruiting class, fell to the fifth option on the depth chart this season. He had 15 carries for 33 yards in eight games.

With Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson leaving the program to pursue NFL aspirations, Blue was set to see more work next season.

Whether or not Blue will indeed stay has yet to be determined.

DEC 31 UPDATE

Former star Arkansas Razorbacks safety Jalen Catalon, who entered the NCAA Transfer Portal this month after four years in Fayetteville, is set to make a visit to Austin, per reports.

Catalon was in Austin earlier this month, but supposedly not to visit the Longhorns at the time.

Now, he will make the visit to the program this weekend.

Catalon spent four years with the Razorbacks but played in just seven games in the past two seasons due to injury. He had eight total tackles and a pass defense in Arkansas’ 40-21 win over Texas last season.

When healthy, Catalon proved himself to be one of the best safeties in the SEC.

DEC 26 UPDATE

According to multiple reports, former Texas quarterback is expected to transfer to Purdue for the 2023 season. Card will have three years of eligibility remaining with the Boilermakers.

A redshirt sophomore and former top quarterback recruit, Card appeared in 12 games this past season where he threw for 928 yards and six touchdowns along with one interception. Card lost the starting Longhorns job Quinn Ewers prior to Week 1, but took over in Week 2 after the highly-touted freshman suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter against then-No. 1 Alabama.

Card started the next three games, going 2-1 and throwing for 741 yards and 6 touchdowns against one interception. His best game came against West Virginia in Week 5 when he threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns, posting a career-best passer rating of 208.7. For his Texas career, Card finished with 1,523 passing yards and 11 touchdowns against two interceptions. He completed 65.5 percent of his throws and finished with a passer rating of 148.1.

New head coach Ryan Walters made it a priority for the Boilermakers to add a veteran quarterback via the transfer portal following a loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Championship. Purdue will be looking for a new quarterback for the first time since 2019 with the departure of sixth-year senior Aidan O’Connell.

The Boilermakers recently hired former West Virginia offensive coordinator Graham Harrell to the same position in West Lafayette. Harrell, who played at Texas Tech during the late 2000s, helped the Mountaineers’ offense average 30.6 points per game in 2022. Harrell also coached at USC, which finished top 20 nationally in passing during his three seasons at the helm.

DEC 21 UPDATE

The Texas Longhorns landed a replacement for punter Isaac Pearson via the NCAA Transfer Portal on Tuesday, with former Stanford Punter Ryan Sandborn committing to the program.

Sandborn was a four-year starter for the Cardinal, with 192 punts for 7,980 tards, averaging 41.6 yards per punt.

He also has experience kicking field goals, knocking through 8 of 10 in his career. He is also 14 for 14 on extra-point attempts.

DEC 20 UPDATE

Former Texas starting offensive lineman Junior Angilau has found a new home in the Pac 12, committing to the Oregon Ducks.
