OTF Premium Note on Trent Hendrick | Sunday 10:37 a.m.

[CJ Vogel]

Following the dismissal of Ty'Anthony Smith, the question about Texas being in the market for one of these new portal linebackers has popped up.

Immediately, the one that comes to mind is reigning Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year, LB Trent Hendrick, who was one of the players recently granted a TRO to return to college football.

A decision is set to come this afternoon for Hendrick, and OTF has learned the Longhorns are not expected to be the pick. There was brief communication per a source, but nothing beyond that.

Look for UCLA to bring in a new linebacker when the decision comes.

I should go into hibernation until February 1, 2027.

It makes sense. I don’t think Hendrick would come back to college to be a 2nd string LB. Don’t know much about UCLA but I’d assume he’d have a much bigger role there.

@CJ Vogel Are they kicking the tires on anyone else?

I would imagine you'd be correct. Price would also be in consideration given he was a CUSA DPOY.

Unfortunately, CJ is in the age group that thinks being super critical, sprinkled in with a dash of pessimism is the cool journalistic thing......... It will pass, but he is a long way from his 40's.

I don't understand the criticism of Cosmo Jaquan. He keeps it real. 

I hope Texas doesn't add anyone else to be honest. I like the team they have right now. It's time to see who steps up internally.
