Texas’ new linebackers coach Johnny Nansen is targeting another former Arizona Wildcat in the transfer portal.
Arizona transfer defensive lineman Bill Norton is expected to visit Texas for the Orange-White spring game on Saturday. The Longhorns are looking to replace major production along the interior defensive line after the departures of T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy.
Norton started every game for the Wildcats last season at nose tackle. He recorded 32 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and forced two fumbles.
Earlier this year, Texas also added Arizona transfer defensive lineman Tiaoalii Savea via the transfer portal.
