Since the NCAA transfer window opened in early December, nine Texas Longhorns have entered the transfer portal. As of Dec. 22, five of those players have found new homes, several are actively looking for their next destination, and three are still practicing with the team.
Here’s a look at where things stand with each of those nine players with the dead period starting on Monday and lasting until Jan. 11 except for midyear enrollees, who will be allowed to take visits from Jan. 3-7.
