James Madison LB transfer Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey commits to Texas

A Texas Longhorns linebacker room in need of talent and productivity got exactly that on Friday with James Madison transfer Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey announcing his commitment to the Horns over Central Florida.

Tucker-Dorsey spent less than two weeks in the portal, announcing his transfer from JMU on May 17.

Within the next couple of days, in addition to Texas, Tucker-Dorsey gathered offers from Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Auburn, and UCF, and gaining interest from others. Of that bunch though, given his compressed timeline, only UCF emerged as a legitimate contender to Texas — he officially visited the Knights over the weekend before taking an official trip to the Forty Acres on May 23.
