TCU DE transfer Ochaun Mathis set to take official visit to Nebraska

Mathis is one of Texas’ top remaining targets from the transfer portal.

One of Texas’ top remaining transfer targets will be heading up to Nebraska for an official visit. Former TCU defensive end Ochaun Mathis is one of the best overall players still available in the transfer portal.

On Feb. 17, Mathis narrowed down his list of potential schools to five. Texas, USC, Ole Miss, Penn State and Nebraska all made the cut.

Texas received the first of Mathis’ visits as he made the quick trip to Austin for an unofficial on March 6. Mathis was able to check out the campus and reunite with his former head coach Gary Patterson, who is now on the Texas staff.

Mathis will likely check out a few more schools from his top five before making a final decision. Texas is squarely in the mix and considered the favorite by many.

TCU DE transfer Ochaun Mathis to visit Texas on Saturday

Mathis is one of the best players still available in the transfer portal.

Texas will host former TCU defensive end Ochaun Mathis for an unofficial visit this weekend.

Mathis would fill a major need for a Texas defensive line that struggled to create much pressure a year ago. He totaled 12.5 sacks in 38 career games at TCU and received All-Big 12 honors in 2020 and 2021.

Between Gary Patterson joining Texas’ staff and Mathis growing up in the central Texas area, the Longhorns have been the presumed favorite to land him for quite some time now. Texas was joined by USC, Ole Miss, Penn State and Nebraska in Mathis’ final five schools.

Texas has already signed an impressive group of transfers this offseason, headlined by former Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers and Wyoming wideout Isaiah Neyor. Adding Mathis to the list would go a long way towards a turn-around 2022 season.
