Texas Football: 3 best remaining wide receiver transfer options

There’s not much left in the NCAA Transfer Portal for Texas football to look into at wide receiver, but there’s at least a few options worth considering.

Missing out on the former Alabama Crimson Tide rising redshirt junior wide receiver Tyrell Shavers in the NCAA Transfer Portal on June 8 definitely hurt head coach Tom Herman and the Texas football program. Shavers wound up picking head coach Mike Leach and the Mississippi State Bulldogs out of the transfer portal over the likes of the Longhorns, UCF Knights, TCU Horned Frogs, and Baylor Bears, among other schools.

Shavers picking Mississippi State is really the second big transfer portal miss for the Longhorns this offseason. The first major loss was former North Dakota State Bison standout rising senior linebacker Jabril Cox choosing to take his talents to join up with head coach Ed Orgeron and the defending National Champion LSU Tigers over Texas and a bevy of other suitors.

Texas now sits with a situation in the receiving corps that is more confusing than anticipated at this point of the offseason. They did already land former Michigan Wolverines rising senior graduate transfer wide receiver Tarik Black out of the port. And that looks like a really good move by Herman and recently promoted wide receivers coach Andre Coleman at this point in time.

If the Longhorns do still want to pursue other options in the transfer portal, they are starting to dwindle down fast. With players making their way back to campuses across the country now for summer workouts, the trend of less and less players continuing to put their names in the transfer portal will keep.

Here’s a look into the three best remaining transfer portal options for the Longhorns at wide receiver, after missing out on Shavers at the hands of Mississippi State.
