Texas Football: Predicting next transfer addition after Keilan Robinson

Karon Prunty, CB

Another recent transfer portal entrant that doesn’t look to be on the Longhorns’ radar at the moment, but certainly could be if they don’t land a commitment from the ex-Tulsa corner Evans, is the former Kansas Jayhawks freshman breakout cornerback Karon Prunty.

The Kansas program is in all sorts of turmoil this offseason after losing their second-year head coach Les Miles and seeing a lot of talent enter the transfer portal. Prunty is the latest of the costly losses that the Jayhawks might have to replace this offseason. He could be a real gem find for any team looking for help at the cornerback position this offseason.

And with corner still looking like a position of need for Texas, pursuing Prunty would make a lot of sense. Prunty was named a Freshman All-American last season, and it’s easy to see why given his production during his first year with the Jayhawks. He was one of the few bright spots for a defense that had a rough showing last fall.

In nine games played last season, Prunty registered 26 combined tackles, one tackle for loss, no sacks, one interception, a whopping nine pass breakups, and one forced fumble. The 6-foot-1 and 185-pound corner ranked in the top three in the Big 12 last year in pass breakups and in the top 25 in the FBS.

There’s sure to be a plethora of suitors after Prunty in the transfer portal in the coming weeks, but Texas might be one of those programs that pitches him in the near future.
