Texas is working on retention efforts with a handful of other key players who have eligibility remaining to return to school for another year.
On the other hand, multiple seniors for the Longhorns who do have eligibility remaining to return to Texas in 2024 are expected to either enter the NFL Draft or enter the transfer portal this offseason. Texas has already lost a handful of upperclassmen to the portal during the December window. And more departures could happen soon among Longhorns players who want to enter the portal.
