Today is National Signing Day for non-football sports.

Gerry, Jordan and the guys are going to be running a thread on the message board chronicling all the new talent headed to Austin in multiple sports.

Make sure you check it out.

We’re just a month and a half from the football transfer portal opening.

So what are the plans of the Longhorns?

As we’ve mentioned previously, retention will be priority one for the defense. There are multiple players who could move on that Texas would probably like to stay around (Derrick Williams, Bo Mascoe, Colton Vasek, Rasheem Biles, etc.).

On offense, they’ll be looking for pieces to the puzzle across the board.

An older high-end receiver with route-running skills and explosiveness would make a lot of sense to pair with Emmett Mosley and Jermaine Bishop.

Offensive line needs must be evaluated internally. And some of that evaluation is ongoing.

Has Andre Cojoe played well enough to take over full time next year? Does Texas project Jackson Christian and Jordan Coleman as guys who are ready to start next season?

It’s also likely Texas will need an older tight end to backfill the room.

One key player on defense who could return is Bo Mascoe.

Mascoe has proven invaluable to the Texas secondary because he can play corner and nickel. Mascoe seems currently inclined to go pro.

Yet if he stays and plays nickel, it might allow Graceson Littleton to push back to the middle-field safety to replace Jelani McDonald.

Littleton and Mascoe are Swiss Army knives. They can both play anywhere in the secondary and give Will Muschamp versatility and the ability to disguise coverages.

We’ll have more and deeper portal coverage in the next couple of weeks as the time for it draws nearer.

But it’s safe to say that behind the scenes, the Texas personnel department is already working overtime on it currently.

Hook’Em!

That would be like the trifecta of helicopter parents.

Do we think the CB from UTSA is a good fit for us? I remember hearing that both Coleman bros on the o line were good especially when they played together. I’m sure we’re likely to lose Simon, Lockett, McCutcheon, and Chatman on offense at the least and Howard, Mack, Filsaime, Williams (to baseball), and Hicks on defense even if the above mentioned leave. Do we think there’s a chance Atkinson, Okpala, or Cummings could leave too? I have faith though that Muschamp will get whatever he has on defense ready to rock all over again. The offense…not so much.

@Bobby Burton , could we possibly get a list of portal transfers from last year and the eligibility that they have left? Thanks, P

The reciever from Oregon st already signed a deal to return to Oregon st next season

What are the actual odds biles comes back? He is playing like a fur sure first round pick but his size will probably put him 2nd 3rd round. Would be epic if we could bring him back!
