You have my attention. Harkless recorded 3 sacks this season at 6-3, 345. 10 pressures from up the middle would have been tied for 2nd on this year's Texas DL.

For what it's worth, I have been keeping a running list of prospects who have announced portal intentions that I believe to needle moving targets for Texas. I've yet to add any offensive linemen to that list. Obviously this isn't an exact science, nor is it indicative of what Texas will do. But as of now, I don't see any big time needle moving players so far that would be immediate plug and play options for Texas on the interior. If and when those players enter, I will make sure mention who I believe to be immediate options.

Michigan State OL Gavin Broscious run blocking in 2025. For those wondering, that will be a big point of emphasis in the portal searching.

As long as Justus Terry is in burnt orange, this one makes little sense. Breaux weighs about 275-280 pounds. Can't have too many of those guys on your DL and Terry already has sky high expectations.

That's where the scouting department earns their big bucks. It's easy to go P4 to P4, but there are always gems from the lower level. I always prefer the bigger school prospects.

La Tech DB Michael Richard per PFF

Really solid football player.

Yes, should've included but felt like it was a given lol But absolutely correct.

Just for context – Was passed up this year and played just 18 snaps after 790 in 2024. Earned a redshirt as a result of seeing just one game up this year. Had 9 PBU and 0 INT in 2024 as a starter.

There are some very firm prerequisites I would have for Texas in regards to portal targets this year: 1. Coming off of season-ending injury? Crossed off the list. 2. I want a seamless positional transfer. That means I am not recruiting a LT to come fill the LG spot. This is the biggest chance to maximize the window of Arch Manning. Make the most of it with sure-fire transfers, not projects or potential pieces.

There will be bigger fish. On top of that, White only listed at 5’7” is a reason for hesitancy.

A name that was thrown out last year after Texas hired Chad Scott. White missed the majority of 2025 due to injury, but had been an electrifying option at WVU in 2024. IF Texas opts to take 2 backs, depending on the decision of Wisner, I could see this being an option. Shoot, even in a Niblett-esque role, I could see this being an option.
