The former three-star will be suiting up for the Warhawks in 2023.
One of the handful of younger players that departed Texas’ program this offseason was linebacker Trevell Johnson. Continue reading “Former Texas linebacker Trevell Johnson to transfer to ULM”
Round two of the transfer portal is starting early for two Texas linebackers.
Round two of the transfer portal is starting early for two Texas linebackers. Derrick Brown and Trevell Johnson joined wide receiver Brenen Thompson as the most recent Longhorns looking for a change of scenery.
To be clear, all three individuals should contribute at their next stop. Each player will presumably play a pivotal role elsewhere. Albeit, perhaps the fit at Texas wasn’t there.
As for how it affects Texas, the team is now built to absorb roster losses despite the upside each player adds. Even so, the thin linebacker room is reason to anticipate head coach Steve Sarkisian could look to add experienced depth at the position.
The timing of the three transfer portal announcements makes one wonder if Sarkisian has began to tell players where they stand within the depth chart. Clearly, the Texas wide receiver room is reason for Thompson to explore options elsewhere. Nevertheless, one would figure Brown and Johnson could have an opportunity to push for playing time.
There could be more portal entries over the next week. We will continue to monitor how Texas players navigate the end of spring football.

Trevell Johnson announced he will be forgoing his senior season due to an injury. The three-star linebacker is planning on getting surgery.
High school football got off to a flying start on Thursday night. Throughout the weekend, some of the best prospects in the country played in the state of Texas.
Sadly, the season is over for one of the Longhorns’ top defensive recruits from the 2022 class after just one game back on the field.
Arlington Martin’s Trevell Johnson announced he will be forgoing his senior season due to an injury Monday morning. The three-star linebacker is planning on getting surgery.
Whether or not he will enroll early and be on Texas’ campus just after the New Year is yet to be known.
You can read his full statement via Twitter here:
I will be forgoing my senior season due to an injury that requires surgery. It is in my best interest to do what’s best for me right now and that is to focus on my physical health, school and future.

Martin’s defense takes a major blow with Johnson out for the year. The three-star linebacker was the leading tackler last season with 109. His sophomore season saw 99 tackles and 12 tackles for a loss.
After opening the season up with a loss to Lake Travis, the Warriors were expected to push through for another playoff run. Losing someone like Johnson severely hurts the chances.
Luckily, there is still plenty of talent on the field. Four-star edge and Stanford commit Ernest Cooper should be the star of the front seven, while 2023 five-star cornerback Javien Toviano is one of the best corners in the country.
For Texas, they now have two 2022 commits who will not be playing their senior season of high school football. Four-star running back Jaydon Blue announced in May he would not be playing for Klein Cain to prepare for the next level. For Johnson, his case is different with an injury causing the opt-out.
