No. 17 Texas was as active as anyone in the transfer portal during Chris Beard’s first offseason as the head coach.
One of the seven transfers that the Longhorns brought in was former Vanderbilt forward Dylan Disu.
Disu has missed the first eight games of the season up to this point while nursing a knee injury he suffered in February of last year.
The Longhorns and Disu received good news on Tuesday as the forward has been medically cleared to return to play ahead of Texas’ matchup with Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Texas' Dylan Disu (knee) has been medically cleared to play in tonight's game against Arkansas Pine-Bluff, per release. Transfer from Vanderbilt. Averaged 15 PPG and 9.2 RPG last season.

Disu could provide a spark to Chris Beard’s squad before conference play. Last season at Vanderbilt, he averaged 15 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in his 17 starts before the injury.
Expect Beard to keep Disu on a minutes restriction as Texas eases him into the frontcourt rotation alongside Timmy Allen, Tre Mitchell and Christian Bishop.
Texas will look to bounce back on Tuesday night against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Longhorn Network.
