3 top Texas edge rusher targets currently in the transfer portal

During one of the quieter periods of the offseason in terms of what is available for second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff for the Texas football program in the NCAA Transfer Portal, there are still some storylines worth noting. One of those is certainly what Texas has going on in terms of pursuing edge rushers in the portal this offseason.

It’s clear that the Longhorns’ defensive staff is seeking help out of the transfer portal in terms of help along the defensive front. But Texas has yet to land any commitments out of the transfer portal at the linebacker position, edge rusher, or along the defensive line.

That could largely be due to the fact that the Longhorns staff is holding out until the right target among edge rushers and/or linebackers comes about this offseason. There is likely to be another big wave of transfer portal entrants that come about that the Longhorns can take advantage of during the spring.

Spring camp will probably give the Longhorns at least another few edge rushers worth offering in the portal. But Texas is also targeting a few other edge rushers that are already in the portal at this point of the offseason.

Who is out there for Texas in the portal right now that will be worth the continued monitoring until they eventually announce their decisions?

Here’s a look into three edge rusher targets worth watching for the Longhorns during a quiet point of the offseason in the way of news on the portal front.
