3 best transfer landing spots for former Texas P Ryan Bujcevski
The most recent loss to the NCAA Transfer Portal for second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Texas football program this offseason came on Feb. 21 in the form of the senior punter Ryan Bujcevski. In a bit of a confusing and dramatic saga late in the morning/early in the afternoon of Feb. 21, it was Bujcevski that would officially have his name show up in the transfer portal.
It originally looked like the Longhorns were losing their former three-star recruit and freshman punter Isaac Pearson to the transfer portal on Feb. 21. But special teams coordinator/tight ends coach Jeff Banks and the Longhorns actually will be hanging onto Pearson with the official move being Bujcevski’s name entering the transfer portal.
What are some ideal transfer landing spots for former Texas football P Ryan Bujcevski out of the portal?
Moreover, losing Bujcevski to the transfer portal means that every single punter that the Longhorns used on a regular basis since the 2018 season will now be likely leaving the program. Senior kicker Cameron Dicker assumed the punting duties since Bujcevski suffered a season-ending ACL injury during the 2020 campaign. Dicker will be foregoing his final year of collegiate eligibility to join the 2022 NFL Draft class.
Bujcevski punted a single time in any game action for the Longhorns since about midway through the 2020 season. But he was still going to be the most experienced punter returning for Banks and the Longhorns special teams unit this fall.
So, what’s next for the Longhorns and Bujcevski with the senior punter entering the portal this week?
For Texas, that likely encompasses officially handing over the punting duties to Pearson this fall.
And for Bujcevski, here’s a deeper look into three potential landing spots for him out of the portal.
