The Texas Longhorns (12-1) have perhaps the most complete roster in college football. It’s for that reason the team was able to dominate Alabama in Tuscaloosa and make it to the College Football Playoff. To duplicate this season’s results, the team will need to add starter talent in the transfer portal.
The Longhorns don’t lack elite rising stars. The 2023 freshman class is stacked with talent. Linebacker Anthony Hill, cornerback Malik Muhammad and safety Derek Williams are already hits for Texas at their given positions.
We feel strongly about the potential of wide receiver Johntay Cook, running back Cedric Baxter Jr. and quarterback Arch Manning. Several other young players like running back Jaydon Blue appear poised for breakout seasons in 2024.
That said, a handful of positions pose big shoes to fill. Let’s look at a few areas in which Texas will need to get outside help to match production from 2023 key starters.
