Early on in fall camp, Texas has already struggled at wide receiver. Joshua Moore has been dealing with a shoulder injury, while Troy Omeire is still fully healing from his torn ACL.
Jake Smith entered the transfer portal after breaking his foot, eventually being ruled out for the season at USC.
Questions have been asked on how the wide receiver core would respond and step up in Steve Sarkisian’s offense. However, on Tuesday, Texas lost another pass-catcher to the famed transfer portal.
According to Matt Zenitz of On3, Lee has entered the transfer portal before ever joining the team. The wide receiver was suspended after being charged with assault of a family member in June.

As a recruit, Lee was a three-star on the 247Sports composite, ranked the No. 77 wide receiver. Within his home state of Louisiana, he was the No. 79 and No. 518 overall prospect in the country.
Lee committed on Christmas Day before signing his letter of intent during the late signing day. Eleven other Power Five schools offered him, including Baylor, Ole Miss, TCU, Texas Tech, and Washington.
