Exodus through the transfer portal has hit Texas hard since Steve Sarkisian took over in Austin. Players such as Keaontay Ingram, Willie Tyler, Jalen Green, and Ayodele Adeoye are expected to leave the program.
Another name has joined the portal on Tuesday afternoon. According to 247Sports and Horns247, offensive lineman former four-star recruit Reese Moore is leaving as a graduate transfer.
Moore was a member of the Longhorns’ 2018 recruiting class. He ranked as a top 300 player in the country and the No. 20 offensive tackle on the 247Sports composite. However, he only played in one game throughout his three seasons in Austin. According to his profile on texassports.com, Moore “played late in the Valero Alamo Bowl versus Colorado.”
With Moore and Tyler now expected to be gone for the 2021 season, Texas’ offensive line depth becomes even thinner. The Longhorns may have to dip into the portal themselves to find help for new offensive line coach Kyle Flood. It’s even more crucial if team captain Derek Kerstetter does not return.
In our way-too-early depth chart predictions, Moore was listed as the backup left tackle to sophomore Andrej Karic.
