Former Washington cornerback Jabbar Muhammad, a second-team All-Pac 12 selection in 2023, and his family made an official visit to Texas on Wednesday and Thursday. Muhammad, who recorded three interceptions for the national runner-ups this season, is slated to visit Alabama today and Oregon next week. If Muhammad plans on enrolling at Texas, he must make a decision no later than Jan. 30, which is the last day to enroll in classes at Texas for the spring term. Texas is said to have made a favorable impression on the visit and is thought to be the front-runner, though Oregon could make things even more interesting. Of course, Muhammad also has a lot of familiarity with the new staff at Alabama given his time playing for Kalen DeBoer at Washington. View full news

One of the best to ever do it has decided to stay in Arizona rather than return to Texas, according to a social media post made by the coach. Duane Akina, one of the architects of Texas' DBU in the 2000s, mulled a return to Texas this off-season in a role that would have made him an analyst and special assistant to head coach Steve Sarkisian. However, Akina was recently offered an on-field role with Arizona subsequent to the hiring of Brent Brennan as new head coach of the Wildcats. Good luck to Coach Akina! View full news

Alabama transfer linebacker Kendrick Blackshire has committed to Texas. Originally from Duncanville, Texas, Blackshire signed with the Crimson Tide out of high school despite overtures from the Longhorns. Blackshire was a back-up linebacker for the Crimson Tide last season, recording 16 tackles in 2023. He is seen primarily as a run-stopping linebacker who also is a special teams stand out. Blackshire is the sixth pledge the Horns have received from the NCAA transfer portal joining his former Alabama teammate Isaiah Bond, a wide receiver, defensive back Andrew Mukuba from Clemson, and wide receivers Silas Bolden of Oregon State and Matthew Golden of Houston.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian wasted no time focusing on receiver Isaiah Bond, the Alabama receiver, when Bond officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Friday. Sarkisian made a beeline to Bond’s Georgia home the very day he entered the portal. The next day, Bond was on an official visit to Austin. And the day following that? Bond decided to become a Longhorn. Bond made 48 catches for 668 yards and four TDs in 2023 for the Crimson Tide. He is known for his elite speed, winning the Georgia state 100- and 200-meter in high school. Bond is the second receiver Sark has identified and recruited from the transfer portal this campaign, following the earlier commitment of Houston’s Matthew Golden, himself also noted for his elite speed. Sark is busy replacing a ton of production in his receiving corps. His top five pass catchers from last year are all headed to the NFL. Not only wide receivers Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell and Jordan Whittington, but also JT Sanders and Jonathon Brooks. View full article
