Even with spring football in full swing, Texas still has some holes on the roster that can easily be filled with an experienced transfer should they choose to do so.
Steve Sarkisian and his staff had a fantastic offseason already when it came down to recruiting and adding transfers, as their recruiting class finished No. 5 in 247Sports’ rankings and their transfer class finished in the top 10 as well.
However, even with all the additions made there is still room for improvements as it is unrealistic to expect multiple freshmen to arrive on campus and be ready to start. Regardless of position or ranking, not everyone can have an Xavier Worthy type of impact right away.
Sarkisian himself recently expressed that he is concerned at the lack of depth on the offensive side of the ball.
The one thing that jumps out is — and I know this is going to change dramatically come the fall — we’ve just got a lot more depth on defense than we do offensively because of the mid years. The majority of our mid years were on the defensive side of the ball. So I’m monitoring our offense as we go. We don’t have a great deal of depth at wide out. We don’t have a great deal of depth on the offensive line obviously right now, and then really at quarterback and not having Maalik. So that part we’ve just got to monitor now as we go and making sure we’re not just wearing these guys out.
Although there is a good group of players from the 2022 recruiting class coming in the fall as reinforcements, they will still be inexperienced and quite frankly be behind the learning curve since they didn’t enroll early. On the bright side for Texas, there are still some very talented transfers remaining in the portal that can also come in the fall with college experience and potentially make a difference.
Here are a few remaining transfers that the Longhorns should consider adding in order to shore up the roster.
