5 Best Available Players in the Transfer Portal Texas Can Target
As the Texas Longhorns look to bolster their roster through the transfer portal, several top-tier players remain available who could make an immediate impact for the program. Here are five of the best available players Texas could target:
1. QB Dylan Gabriel (Oklahoma to Transfer)
Dylan Gabriel, the former Oklahoma quarterback, brings valuable starting experience and leadership. Though Texas is set with Quinn Ewers, adding a proven backup or potential starter for future seasons would provide depth and competition at the position. Gabriel’s ability to move the ball and manage an offense in the high-pressure Big 12 environment makes him a worthwhile target.
2. EDGE Jashaun Corbin (FSU to Transfer)
Jashaun Corbin, a disruptive pass rusher from Florida State, would be a huge addition to Texas’ defensive line. The Longhorns have a solid defense but could use an elite EDGE rusher to increase pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Corbin’s explosiveness and ability to set the edge would complement Texas’ already strong defensive front.
3. WR Dante Cephas (Kent State to Transfer)
Dante Cephas is a speedy and explosive wide receiver who would bring a deep threat to Texas’ receiving corps. With the loss of some key playmakers, adding a receiver with Cephas’ production (over 1,200 yards and 9 TDs last season) could provide a dynamic boost to the offense alongside stars like Xavier Worthy.
4. OL Mason Brooks (Western Kentucky to Transfer)
Offensive line depth is crucial for Texas as they prepare for the physicality of the SEC. Mason Brooks from Western Kentucky offers significant experience, having played in a pass-heavy system. His size (6’5″, 305 lbs) and versatility would help solidify Texas’ O-line depth and provide protection for Quinn Ewers.
5. CB Travis Hunter (Jackson State to Transfer)
Perhaps the most high-profile name in the portal, Travis Hunter, the former No. 1 recruit in the nation, has already impressed with his skills at Jackson State. A lockdown cornerback with playmaking ability, Hunter would instantly elevate Texas’ secondary, adding another elite cover man alongside Jaylon Guilbeau.
These players represent key positions where Texas could use immediate reinforcements as they prepare to take on more competition in the SEC.
