On3's annual preseason all-transfer portal team was released this morning, and one of Texas' most intriguing yet under-the-radar portal additions for 2025 was included: DT Maraad Watson.

To be fair, he didn't arrive in Austin until the summer so he was a tad "behind" in terms of learning the playbook and working in with the defense.
