Texas Longhorns QB Casey Thompson enters college football transfer portal

Texas Longhorns quarterback Casey Thompson, who started 10 games in coach Steve Sarkisian's first season, is in the transfer portal.

Thompson began the season as the backup behind Hudson Card, eventually claiming the starting job. He threw for 2,113 yards and had 24 touchdown passes -- tops in the Big 12 -- and nine interceptions. The Longhorns, however, went 4-6 in those games en route to a 5-7 season.

Thompson said that he played his last six games with a sprained thumb on his throwing hand.

Days after the Longhorns' last game against Kansas State, Sarkisian said he would be taking a look at the quarterback position.
