After securing Tarik Black from Michigan earlier this year, the Texas Longhorns could have their eyes on Alabama’s Tyrell Shavers.
Earlier this year, the Texas Longhorns and head coach Tom Herman added a wide receiver to a very young group. Tarik Black made his way from Michigan to the Forty Acres via the transfer portal and the Longhorns could find themselves in the same situation again. According to Mike Roach of 247Sports Texas could look to add Tyrell Shavers of Alabama.

According to the report Shavers has interest from TCU, Mississippi State, Central Florida as well as the Longhorns. Shavers is coming from a program that has put a ton of talent at the position in the NFL. This past year Henry Ruggs II and Jerry Jeudy both were drafted inside of the top 20. This next year could be the same with Jaylon Waddle and Devonta Smith.
Shavers currently has two years of eligibility left and has only one catch for 20 yards in his collegiate career. Should he head to Austin, he could be in the mix to get plenty of playing time for a group that has a lot of question marks at the moment. The 6’6″ pass catcher would bring the size that Texas will be missing with Collin Johnson now in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Lewisville, Texas product could return to his home state where he was a four star prospect that was ranked the 12th receiver overall and 11th prospect in Texas during the 2017 recruiting cycle. Shavers already graduated from Alabama so he would be eligible to play immediately for the next two seasons.
With little production for the Crimson Tide, he is unproven. With a former NFL receiver in Andre Coleman now on staff, one should expect that he could get the most out of him.
