How Texas football transfers are performing with their new programs
Ever since the new transfer rules were enacted, players have been moving all over the nation in order to receive new opportunities.
While transfers have certainly helped Texas in the past like running back Tre Watson, or even this year’s defensive transfer Ovie Oghoufo, the Longhorns have also lost their fair share of transfers throughout the past couple years.
In many cases, players transfer to get a bigger role than what they currently have, but there is always other reasons beneath the surface that we will not know. Some teams may be upset that a player leaves, although they are likely doing what they think is best for their career.
Since we are at the halfway mark of the 2021 college football season, it felt like a great time to check in on how the former Longhorns are doing at their new homes.
Here is how the former Longhorns are currently performing after choosing to leave the University of Texas.
