Texas DBs John Bonney, Eric Cuffee to transfer from the program

Texas announced early Tuesday afternoon that defensive backs John Bonney and Eric Cuffee are transferring from the program.

Bonney, a redshirt senior who graduated last December, started just 15 games for Texas during his career and played in 37 games total. Last season, he made an appearance in every game, including two starts, and registered 19 tackles and an interception.

"I would like to thank the University of Texas for giving me the opportunity to graduate and earn a bachelor's degree," Bonney said in a statement. "I'd like to thank Mack Brown for offering me a scholarship to be a student-athlete at such a great institution and Coach Charlie Strong and Vance Bedford for taking me in and teaching me the game, as well as Coach Tom Herman, Craig Naivar and Yancy McKnight for helping me grow and develop not only as a football player but as a young man.
