Former Texas WR Al’Vonte Woodard commits to Sam Houston State

After spending four and a half months in the NCAA transfer portal, former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Al’Vonte Woodard committed to the Sam Houston State Bearkats on Tuesday.

The 6’2, 193-pounder is a graduate transfer who will join former Texas teammate BJ Foster in Huntsville. Foster signed with the Bearkats back in February.

A member of the 2018 recruiting class out of Houston Lamar, Woodard was a consensus four-star prospect ranked as the No. 104 player nationally and the No. 20 wide receiver, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. His offer list totaled more than 30 schools, so it was considered a significant coup for the Longhorns when Woodard chose Texas over Texas A&M in July 2017.
