Texas Football: Transfer portal departures tracker
The NCAA transfer portal is a mainstay in the world of college football in 2022. Players having the freedom to transfer without punishment creates a new landscape in the sport.
Steve Sarkisian and his staff will undoubtedly work to use the portal to their advantage. Last season Texas added key contributors such as quarterback Quinn Ewers, defensive back Ryan Watts and linebacker Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey.
Like most programs across the country, Texas is expected to see a group of players seek new opportunities. It should be a very active transfer portal season following year two of the Steve Sarkisian era. An important thing to remember is a player entering the portal does not guarantee said player is leaving the program.
The transfer portal did not officially open until Dec. 5 but players began stating their intentions beforehand.
Here is an ongoing tracker of notable Longhorn players who have entered the transfer portal thus far:
QB Hudson Card
