The Texas Longhorns added a second player over the weekend via the transfer portal. Sunday night North Carolina Tar Heels defensive tackle Travis Shaw signed with UT. Texas also signed QB CJ Rogers.
Shaw entered the portal after UNC fired former Texas coach Mack Brown in November. The 6’5.5, 330-pounder has one season of eligibility remaining. Shaw was one of Brown’s biggest signings in Chapel Hill. In 2022, he was a 5-star and the No. 20 player in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
In his three seasons at North Carolina, Shaw had a hard time being consistent. But his junior campaign showed a lot of improvement, recording 26 tackles, up from his freshman high of 18.
Shaw becomes the second interior defensive lineman added by the Longhorns during the transfer portal window. The Horns signed former Purdue DT Cole Brevard in December. Brevard has been practicing with the team during the playoffs.
