The NCAA transfer portal has been as active as ever this offseason. Difference-making players all over the country have decided to look for new homes.
Steve Sarkisian is taking advantage of this new aspect of college football by revamping the Texas roster. The Longhorns staff has done a wonderful job of adding experienced players who fit their scheme via the portal. Former Wyoming wide receiver Isaiah Neyor is a prime example of what Sarkisian looks for in a wide receiver.
247Sports’ Brad Crawford mentioned Neyor as one of the transfer portal’s “home-run fits” for 2022.
Paired with talented pass-catchers Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington this fall in the projected starting lineup, Neyor’s number will impress. He’ll also take some of the pressure off of Biletnikoff candidate Worthy given his talent level and reliability. As a redshirt freshman last season, Neyor recorded 44 receptions for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns at Wyoming. One of several new additions on offense for the Longhorns, Neyor will have three years of eligibility remaining and is one of the headliners in the deepest wide receiver room in the Big 12. Steve Sarkisian is a master at scheming ways to get his best players the football and Neyor will reap those benefits.
Texas’ offense will have a totally different look with Neyor running alongside Worthy on the outside. Longhorns fans got a taste of Neyor’s big-play ability in the spring game as he hauled in a 62-yard touchdown strike from Quinn Ewers.
