A look at what jersey number each Texas newcomer will be wearing.

The start of summer marks the arrival of many fresh faces to the Texas football program.

The Longhorns have an exciting group of newcomers ready to help Texas turn the program around. Steve Sarkisian and his staff landed some of the top names in the NCAA transfer portal and the No. 5 ranked 2022 recruiting class. Some of the players have already begun the move-in process and are ready to get to work.

Jersey numbers are starting to be revealed for the incoming group of players. Wide receiver Brenen Thompson and outside linebacker Derrick Brown took to Twitter to hint at what number they will rock this season. James Madison linebacker transfer Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey will keep his No. 2 from the Dukes.

Five-star offensive line duo Devon Campbell and Kelvin Banks are taking their high school numbers to the collegiate level.

Here’s an ongoing tracker of the jersey numbers for each of Texas’ new arrivals from the 2022 cycle.

Eight winners from the college football transfer portal thus far

These teams hit home runs in the transfer portal this offseason.

The transfer portal has become one of the best tools college football coaches can use for immediate roster upgrades.

This offseason has already seen an abundance of talented players at every position decide to take their talents to new programs.

We have seen multiple examples of transfers who put their teams over the hump in recent memory, especially at quarterback.

Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield became Heisman trophy winners after transferring. Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts brought Ohio State ad Oklahoma to the college football playoff in just one season.

This year we saw multiple elite quarterback talents decide to transfer. Perhaps Caleb Williams or Quinn Ewers will continue the success of transfer quarterbacks.

How well teams navigate the transfer portal right now will have a major impact on the outlook of the 2022 season and beyond.

Here are the eight teams who benefited the most from the transfer portal this offseason so far:
