According to a report from Brian Davis of the Austin American Statesman, and subsequently confirmed by other outlets, Texas Longhorns forward Tre Mitchell is on a personal leave of absence from the program.
Mitchell is not with the team for Tuesday’s game against Oklahoma in Norman and there is no timetable for his return, Beard said, adding that Mitchell’s absence is not related to any legal difficulties, violations of team rules, or violations of university policy.
“I’ve been in contact with Tre and his family consistently. He’s with his family now,” Beard told Davis.
