Texas' most decorated and experienced running back, Quintrevion Wisner, has officially told the coaching staff that he plans on entering the transfer portal in January.
Unfortunately for the Longhorns, Wisner makes the fourth running back set to transfer out in 2026 alongside Jerrick Gibson, C.J. Baxter, and Rickey Stewart Jr. It's a little concerning seeing as things are supposedly looking "up" for Texas' offense in 2026.
Arch Manning began to look like a top-notch quarterback in the second half of the year and the overall offensive play calling was getting much better.

It's possible that these ball-carriers aren't confident in Steve Sarkisian and Co.'s ability to bring in offensive linemen this offseason to help shore up the trenches, which would also be very odd. The Longhorns have the type of NIL capital and roster space to basically add whoever they want, and there's no doubt that they'll be investing big time in this area.
Now, with Christian Clark and James Simon being the only two somewhat established players in the running back room, Texas will most likely bring in multiple transfer portal ball-carriers over the next few weeks. One that jumps out immediately is former Jacksonville State star and Round Rock, TX, native Cam Cook. Though it'll likely cost the Longhorns a pretty penny to get him, it's seemingly worth it as this offense is reliant upon the running back position between the 20's.
Some other immediate options who come to mind are NC State's Hollywood Smothers, Washington's Adam Mohammed, and Missouri's Marquise Davis.
