Spring Football 2024 Updated Scholarship Count

The NCAA Transfer Portal window re-opens April 15. With a new wave of free agency to begin in the next week and a half, it is a good time to take a look at where Texas sits on the scholarship counter.

Reminder, Texas must be at or below the 85 scholarship number by the start of the season.

Texas sits at 89 scholarship plays as I type this out on April 3rd. 

Of course, this goes without having K Bert Auburn on scholarship at the moment as well.

The Longhorns will need to get down to 85 scholarships by the beginning of the 2024 season. It goes without saying, but expect some attrition this spring, especially if Texas looks to add to their roster via the portal when the window opens.
