According to Matt Zenitz of AL.com, Texas defensive lineman Marqez Bimage has entered the transfer portal. He is the latest Longhorn to enter the portal, joining Ayodele Adeoye, Jalen Green, Keaontay Ingram, Reese Moore, and Willie Tyler.

Bimage opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. In three seasons with the Longhorns, he recorded 19 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

Defensive end/Jack has been identified as a position of weakness for Steve Sarkisian and Pete Kwiatkowski early on. Texas has taken on three transfers at the position in Ray Thornton, Ogie Oghoufo, and reportedly Ben Davis. Bimage was expected to compete for one of the starting spots.

Out of high school, Bimage was a three-star prospect on the 247Sports composite. He ranked as the No. 34 weakside defensive end and the No. 70 player in the state of Texas.

Texas Football: Defensive end Marqez Bimage opts out of 2020 season

The Texas Longhorns defensive end Marqez Bimage has opted out of the upcoming season. He was expected to compete for a starting role.

The Texas Longhorns are preparing to get ready for the upcoming football season that is less than a month away. The Big 12 Conference announced the conference portion of the schedule on Wednesday and Texas confirmed their matchup with UTEP. The defense is expected to be much better in year one under Chris Ash. Joseph Ossai and Demarvion Overshown will be playing new roles in a new defensive scheme.

One player expected to compete for a starting role was defensive end Marqez Bimage. The senior defensive end is reportedly opting out of the upcoming season. It was first reported by Anwar Richardson of Rivals. Bimage has splayed in 34 games as Richardson tweeted, he recorded 12 total tackles and one sack while appearing in every game in 2019.

It remains unclear if Bimage will focus on returning in 2021 as he will have another year of eligibility remaining. His absence could open up opportunities for freshmen Vernon Broughton Jr and Alfred Collins.

Bimage becomes the first Texas Longhorn to opt out of the upcoming season while senior running back Daniel Young has opted out on the offensive side of the ball. Players who opt out of the season due to concerns over the coronavirus will keep their scholarship and remaining eligibility.

The Longhorns have no shortage of able bodies to play the position and get to the quarterback. However, this is still a blow to the defense. The team is currently in the midst of fall camp and getting ready for the opener. Best guess is that Moro Ojomo could be in the mix to start on the strong side of the defense.

Analysis: One of the more experienced players on Texas’ defense, Marqez Bimage is entering his senior season. Coming out of high school, the defensive end was a three-star on the 247Sports composite and a top 75 player in the state of Texas.

Bimage did not get a start last season but did play in all 13 games. He had 12 tackles (10 of which were solo), a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. Sitting behind Malcolm Roach on the depth chart, Bimage was a solid rotational player for Tom Herman.

Going into the 2020 season, much of the same will be asked of Bimage. Ta’Quon Graham is expecting to take over as the starter opposite of Joseph Ossai. The position the Longhorns struggled the most at last season, Bimage will be looking to improve the unit by producing a couple of sacks.
