Texas Football: 2 transfer targets visiting UT this weekend

The news cycle for Texas football in the NCAA Transfer Portal has picked up again. Texas and head coach Steve Sarkisian were active but diligent in the transfer portal during the December window.

Sarkisian and the Longhorns added three portal commitments during the December window. Texas added the former Houston Cougars sophomore wide receiver Matthew Golden, Clemson Tigers junior safety Andrew Mukuba, and UTSA Roadrunners redshirt sophomore edge rusher Trey Moore.
