Texas head coach Chris Beard lands another transfer
While Oklahoma appears to be losing several players in way of the transfer portal, it’s where Chris Beard is thriving.
On Friday night, Beard received a commitment from former Creighton small forward Christian Bishop. Within the past week, the first-year head coach has completely revamped Texas’ roster. Andrew Jones, Jase Febres and Brock Cunningham have confirmed their decision to return for another season. However, the major news has centered around the NCAA transfer portal. Beard has now brought in three different players via the portal: Timmy Allen, Devin Askew and Bishop. On top of that, he was able to sway former Texas Tech signee Jaylon Tyson to the Forty Acres as well.

Kyler Murray voted the best Texas high school football player of all-time
Unfortunately for Longhorn fans, the best high school football player of all-time from their home state is a former Oklahoma Sooner. A poll was recently conducted by texashsfootball.com and Murray was selected as the fan favorite. He went 42-0 as the starting quarterback for Allen from 2012-2014 and missed only one game, while leading the Eagles to three-straight state championships. It’s hard to argue with statistics of that nature.
