Texas in pursuit of Alabama transfer edge Drew Sanders

On Tuesday, only hours after the Alabama Crimson Tide lost in the national championship game to the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama rising junior edge Drew Sanders entered the NCAA transfer portal, sparking immediate speculation that the Texas Longhorns would have interest in the Denton Ryan product.

With a massive need for an impact player at the edge position, Texas is indeed in pursuit of Sanders — Inside Texas reported on Wednesday that the Longhorns will host Sanders for a visit. Also on Wednesday, Texas received a 247Sports Crystal Ball transfer prediction to land the talented 6’5, 244-pounder.
