Even with recent efforts to add an experienced wide receiver to the squad, the Longhorns will have to look elsewhere.
There has been a talented pool of receivers that Texas has missed out on this offseason, and that trend continued on Friday.
Wyoming wide receiver transfer Isaiah Neyor elected to take his talents to the other UT, as he announced via Twitter on Friday his commitment to Tennessee.

Texas was supposed to host Neyor for an official visit, but his mind was made up before the visit could even happen.
This is a tough one to swallow for Texas, as the 6-foot-3 Neyor had a great year this pasts season, catching 44 passes for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns, while averaging 20 yards per reception. He also earned a second team All-Mountain West Conference nod.
While Texas still has some time to pick up another transfer before next year, they need to work at a much quicker pace than they have been so far in this round of the transfer portal. Addressing the disparity at receiver must be a focal point for the staff going into the next season.
