# **New Name Hits the Texas Transfer Portal Tracker – Longhorns Lose a TE*
**Austin, TX –** The Texas Longhorns have suffered another roster shake-up as a key tight end has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal. The departure marks the latest in a series of moves for Texas as head coach Steve Sarkisian continues to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of college football transfers. With spring workouts on the horizon and the 2025 season fast approaching, this latest portal entry raises questions about the Longhorns’ depth at the position and their plans moving forward.
### **Tight End Enters the Transfer Portal**
Reports surfaced earlier today that [Player Name], a talented tight end for the Longhorns, has officially declared his intention to transfer. The decision comes after a season in which he saw limited playing time behind Texas’ starting TE corps, leading to speculation that he was seeking more opportunities elsewhere.
Standing at [Height] and weighing [Weight], [Player Name] was a promising recruit coming out of high school. He was rated as a [Star Ranking] prospect and chose Texas over several other Power Five programs. While he showed flashes of potential in limited action, he was unable to secure a consistent role in Sarkisian’s offense, which often favors a mix of tight ends with both blocking and receiving capabilities.
Insiders indicate that the tight end’s decision was influenced by both playing time concerns and potential schematic fit. With the emergence of [Other TE Names] in the lineup, his path to becoming a starter seemed increasingly difficult. Now, he will look for a fresh start at another program, possibly within the Big 12 or even outside the conference.
### **Impact on the Texas Roster**
Losing a tight end at this stage of the offseason is not ideal for Texas, especially with an emphasis on utilizing the position in Sarkisian’s offensive system. The Longhorns rely on their tight ends both as blockers and as key contributors in the passing game, making depth at the position a priority.
Currently, Texas still has [List of Remaining Tight Ends] on the roster, but this transfer could leave them thinner than expected, especially if injuries occur. The Longhorns recently signed [Name of Incoming Freshman or Transfer TE], who could see an increased role sooner than anticipated.
One potential silver lining is that Texas remains active in the transfer portal itself. If needed, the coaching staff could look to bring in an experienced tight end from another program to fill the gap left by [Player Name]’s departure.
### **What’s Next for the Longhorns?**
As Texas prepares for its move to the SEC in 2025, roster stability will be crucial. The Longhorns have already been aggressive in both recruiting and the transfer portal, and this departure may force them to evaluate whether another addition at tight end is necessary.
The coaching staff has yet to release an official statement on [Player Name]’s transfer, but Sarkisian has consistently expressed confidence in his team’s ability to adapt to roster changes.
Meanwhile, [Player Name] will begin weighing his options, with several programs likely to show interest in a player with his size and skill set. Depending on where he lands, Texas fans may see him lining up against the Longhorns in the near future.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Texas transfer portal tracker continues to evolve.
