Texas Football: 3 reasons RB Tavien Feaster transfer makes sense

A great landing spot for one of the bigger names on the offensive side of the ball to hit the transfer portal lately, Tavien Feaster, is Texas football.

Hitting the NCAA Transfer Portal to find respective answers to positional needs is a good way for Texas football to patch any holes that could arise on either side of the ball for this coming season. Texas football already hit the transfer portal once this off-season to add to a position of need. That could be the case that happens here with the former Clemson Tigers standout running back and rising senior Tavien Feaster since he announced that he intended to hit the portal as a graduate transfer.

The need that Texas football had to add experience and depth along the offensive line was filled by landing the highly touted former Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets All-ACC offensive guard and rising senior Parker Braun. That was a huge get for Texas football, and it is the second straight off-season where the coaching staff turned to the transfer portal for answers.

Now, landing Braun could be a natural bridge for the Longhorns to attract a transfer candidate like Feaster to the Forty Acres. Running backs were slim pickings for head Texas football coach Tom Herman of late. He needs more depth and experience to add to his stable of running backs currently.

Here’s a look into the three best reasons why it makes sense for the Texas Longhorns football program to try and pursue former Clemson Tigers running back Tavien Feaster in the NCAA Transfer Portal this off-season.
