I am told that Ryan Wingo is very close to finalizing his deal with Texas. Could be an announcement today

I am told that Ryan Wingo is very close to finalizing his deal with Texas. Could be an announcement today.

Offensive lineman Nick Brooks announced he is entering the transfer portal.

I'm not going to comment much on what other reporters report, because he may have just reiterated exactly what he was told. But that is a classic pandering-to-audience line, especially if delivered to him by an A&M source.

Tuesday AM Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal yesterday. Texas is expected to be among those who pursue him. But Texas can not do that quite yet because he is not *officially* in the portal. Colorado has up to two days to negotiate with Seaton before putting his name into the portal. Why do those two days matter? As we’ve come to see during this portal cycle, teams often don’t let their best players just walk. I’m not only talking about the Michigan OL duo or Florida edge Jayden Woods. Case in point: Ole Miss OL Delano Townsend who announced this morning his return to the Rebels. So before folks start rejoicing about Seaton or anyone announcing an entrance to the portal, we need to stop and take a breath. There’s one more hurdle left. But if that hurdle is cleared… ** Former Texas receiver DeAndre Moore is expected to decide between Kentucky and Colorado today, according to a source close to Moore. Colorado has the more lucrative offer on the table and Brennan Marion, the former Texas receivers coach, is now the OC for the Buffs. ** Oklahoma State defensive end Wendell Gregory has committed to Kansas State. Gregory visited Texas late last week. Linebacker Cade Uluave signed with BYU. ** With four days left, there could still be more elite players enter the portal.

Ole Miss OL Delano Townsend announces his return to Ole Miss.

Not 0. And not 100. 😉

Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton announced his intent to enter into the transfer portal about an hour ago. Seaton is not officially in the portal yet, so Texas, nor any other team, can have direct contact with him until then. Colorado has 2 business days before it must enter him into the portal. We’ve said all along Texas is going big game hunting in the portal this off-season. Seaton, an expected first rounder next year, is certainly that. National reports suggest that Texas and Oregon are expected to be primary competitors. Miami, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and LSU are expected to also throw their hat in the ring.

Jordan Seaton is NOT officially in the portal yet. He has announced he’s going in. That is all at this point.

Colorado offensive lineman Jordan Seaton announced he is entering the NCAA transfer portal.

I’m not going to get too deep into the woods here but grades are not the impediment some believe them to be, even for seniors-to-be. Ask Andrew Mukuba. If there’s a will, there’s a way.

Monday 5:08pm Oklahoma State defensive end Wendell Gregory was thought to be narrowing in on a decision late Sunday. However, a new week means a new vision for his future, according to an agent source. Gregory was thought to be deciding between Texas, Wisconsin, Texas Tech and Kansas State. The Longhorns and Wildcats (somewhat surprisingly) were thought to be the primary competitors. Now, after not reaching a deal with Texas to K-State, it appears Gregory’s going back on the open market. Texas will continue to monitor, and things could change at a moment’s notice. ** Cal linebacker Cade Uluave is thought to be deciding between Michigan and BYU with Texas now on the outside looking in. ** Yale OL Mike Bennett committed to Oregon earlier today. ** Texas defensive back Warren Roberson announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. ** We’ll see who else enters the portal this week, both going and coming. It’s a waiting game for colleges nationwide. Hook’Em

If it's someone to watch we'll let you know. Right now, he's not actually in the portal.

He's expected to enter. I want to make sure this is a cautionary tale. People reported on Thursday/Friday that he was returning to Texas. I told folks that that was premature. Pls remember that.

Sunday 4:40pm Notes - Running back Hollywood Smothers, Yale OL Mikey Bennett and Pitt LB Rasheem Biles were the only official visitors this weekend - Oklahoma State defensive end Wendell Gregory, who was named the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2025, is thought to be nearing a decision. Texas, Texas Tech and Wisconsin are all involved and he has visited all three schools. Gregory, who will be a redshirt sophomore, signed with South Carolina before transferring to the Cowboys, where he totaled four sacks, this past year. - With the pledges of running backs Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers, Christian Clark is expected to officially enter his name into the transfer portal. The redshirt freshman from Phoenix started the Citrus Bowl for the Longhorns and rushed for 100 yards and 1 TD against Michigan. After the bowl game and the transfers of Tre Wisner and CJ Baxter, many thought Clark would be the heir apparent in the RB room next season. But Texas hit the portal heavily in an attempt to upgrade the room overall. - Miami defensive tackle Donta Simpson has committed to Missouri. He visited Texas last week. - Running back CJ Baxter has pledged to Kentucky. - Neither Bennett nor linebacker Cade Uluave has made a decision yet. Uluave visited Michigan over the weekend. - Even though it's a recruiting dead period tomorrow through Wednesday, more players will enter the portal tomorrow. - Texas remains on the lookout for offensive linemen, linebackers and perhaps more. As for offensive linemen, with the returns of Trevor Goosby, Connor Robertson and Brandon Baker, the Horns are likely looking for at least two more starter-level prospects to compete with Nick Brooks, Dylan Sikorski and others.

I like the #ALLIN hashtag. 😉

Given the last 24 hours, this list seems significantly dated. 😉

HUGE pickup for the Horns. Coleman is considered the top non-QB in the transfer portal.

Nothing about any of those lists should scare anyone. Lots of ok players. Not many difference makers.

Sunday morning: Notes: Three portal transfers were on campus yesterday. Yale OL Mikey Bennett, NC State RB Hollywood Smothers, and Pitt LB Rasheem Biles. Biles committed to the Longhorns yesterday evening. The two-time All-ACC linebacker, who recorded 181 tackles and 10 sacks over the past two seasons, immediately fills a major void in the Texas roster. The Longhorns have now taken two LBs in the transfer portal. Bennett is said to still be considering both Oregon and Indiana. Smothers, who initially committed to Alabama following his entry to the portal, remains on his official visit to Texas as of this morning. ** Wide receiver Cam Coleman has completed his tour of four campuses, finishing up with Alabama yesterday afternoon. Coleman is considering Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Bama. Bama is considered the biggest competition ** More notes: - If Smothers pledges to Texas, running back Christian Clark likely looks elsewhere. Clark and Texas have not signed an agreement for his return. - Linebacker Cade Uluave was predicted to go to Michigan by a Michigan reporter last night. Uluave has visited the Wolverines over the weekend after seeing Texas Thursday and Friday. - Former Oklahoma State defensive end Wendell Gregory is thought to be nearing a final decision. Texas is among those choices. - Defensive back Kobe Black is now expected to return to Texas next season, according to his agent. - Jamie Ffrench visited Michigan over the weekend. - Linebacker Bo Barnes has committed to Kentucky. - DeAndre Moore has yet to find a home. He has visited Colorado, Louisville, Ohio State, and Ole Miss, and possibly others. Moore's asking price was not met by Texas, nor any of the other schools as yet. ** While Monday-Wednesday of next week is a dead period, where no portal players are allowed on campus, the coaches may still recruit and sign portal prospects, they just can't host them on visits. Several new entrants to the portal are also expected during that period and later into the week. Texas will be actively monitoring the portal, especially for major entrants. ** The portal officially closes at midnight on Friday. All paperwork must be signed and submitted by that time by players and then universities have two business days to put the names into the portal. Given that grace period, we could be looking at a week from Tuesday (Jan. 20) as the final day we will be hearing new names entered into the portal.

And yet he's been to two college football semifinals and won 10 games three straight years.

- Linebacker Cade Uluave is predicted to go to Michigan by a Michigan reporter. Uluave has visited Michigan over the weekend after seeing Texas Thursday and Friday. - Defensive back is now expected to return to Texas next season, according to his agent. - Jamie Ffrench visited Michigan over the weekend.
