Texas executed the spring transfer window flawlessly
“We’re not the only team in the NCAA that is going through this portal situation right now. You can’t name a team right now that doesn’t have a player that they wish didn’t go in. We understand all it and we all understand fan favorites. There will be other favorites,” new California Golden Bears general […]


“We’re not the only team in the NCAA that is going through this portal situation right now. You can’t name a team right now that doesn’t have a player that they wish didn’t go in. We understand all it and we all understand fan favorites. There will be other favorites,” new California Golden Bears general manager Ron Riviera said on Monday as Cal was decimated by spring transfer portal entries.
But it is possible to name a team with non-impactful entries in the NCAA transfer portal during the window that closes on Friday — the Texas Longhorns.
Barring any surprise last-minute entries, the four departures from the Forty Acres this spring were not particularly significant, a group that includes Freddie Dubose, a redshirt freshman wide receiver on the program’s roster fringe who was already recruited over, Malik Agbo, a reserve redshirt junior offensive lineman who wasn’t going to impact the two-deep depth chart, Bert Auburn, a redshirt senior kicker whose late-season collapse effectively ended his career at Texas, and Michael Kern, a sophomore punter who was going to back up a much more experienced player this season.
Considering the landscape of college football, roster retention has never been more important — nor more difficult — than in an era with two unrestricted free agency windows every year, as noted by former Texas wide receivers coach Brennan Marion, now in his first season as the head coach at Sacramento State.
Retaining your best guys needs to be celebrated by media just as much as changing schools does. The ability to keep starters & stars is just as big for a university as acquiring new talent. Many schools struggling bc they let great coaches & players go everyone is not disposable!
— Coach Marion (@BrennanMarion4) April 21, 2025
The ugly departure of quarterback Nico Iamaleava from Tennessee was a high-profile illustration of current roster retention difficulties and stands in stark contrast to the utter lack of drama surrounding Arch Manning, perhaps the single most valuable player in the country from an NIL standpoint.
So while the ability to retain players currently on the roster has flown under the radar for Texas, that’s in part because head coach Steve Sarkisian and general manager Brandon Harris did such a flawless job of devising a plan to address remaining roster needs and executed it perfectly.
The only minor blemish was hosting Stanford transfer EDGE David Bailey to add high-level depth, but Bailey predictably chose more money and more available playing time at Texas Tech.
Otherwise, Texas was able to land Stanford transfer wide receiver Emmett Mosley, Cal transfer tight end Jack Endries, Syracuse transfer defensive tackle Maraad Watson, Maryland transfer defensive tackle Lavon Johnson, and Texas State transfer kicker Mason Shipley.
In Mosley’s one season at Stanford, he recorded 48 receptions for 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns in nine games, which ranked second on the team in receptions and yards and tied for the team lead in touchdowns. The 525 receiving yards notched by Mosley were the most by a true freshman for the Cardinal since Richard Sherman had 581 receiving yards in 2006.
Mosley’s best game came in a win over a ranked Louisville team when he caught 13 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns.
“Emmett Mosley is a guy that we were recruiting hard going into his senior season. He was high on our board. We had high hopes for him. We had a great relationship with he and his family. He ended up injuring his knee before his senior season and we kind of backed off of it, to his credit, man, he worked his tail off, got himself healthy and had a really, really solid freshman year there at Stanford,” Sarkisian said.
So when Mosley went into the portal after the Cardinal terminated head coach Troy Taylor, Sarkisian and wide receivers coach Chris Jackson thought he was a “natural fit.”
“He’s got experience, but yet he’s a younger player to fill the void in that room. He’s got a really good head on his shoulders, great character, great work ethic, so we’re excited about him,” Sarkisian said.
With the departures of Gunnar Helm and Juan Davis, Texas has little returning experience in the Jeff Banks’ tight end room, leaving a glaring roster need for a proven player.
“Jack is a guy we were really looking for, a tight end that could be an every-down player, a guy that could be an in-line blocker, could be a guy that was utilized split out, that ran a multitude of routes, that had the speed to separate to create explosive plays,” Sarkisian said.
As a redshirt sophomore, the 6’4, 240-pounder recorded 56 receptions for 623 yards and two touchdowns with a 57-yard touchdown catch against Miami and an impressive performance against Pitt with eight receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown. Endries set his career high with nine receptions against North Carolina State while going over 100 yards for the second time as a collegian.
“When you watch his tape at Cal, he played for three different coordinators in three years there, so he was used in a lot of different ways. So when you really put the tape together over three years, he kind of fits all the things we ask of a tight end to do here, and I felt like we needed a veteran presence in that room,” Sarkisian said.
Watson fills a need that is difficult to address in the portal — he’s a premium player with three years of eligibility remaining at a super-premium position. Just as impressive as securing Watson is that Texas was able to do so without Watson taking any other visits despite pursuit from high-profile programs like Georgia, Ohio State, and Tennessee.
Landing Watson with so little drama almost surely came with a high price tag attached, likely in the seven figures.
“We had a kid just leave us, d-tackle, I love him,” Syracuse head coach Fran Brown said in an appearance on the Audible podcast. “He is legit. He was a good football player for us. He did a good job. When they said the amount of money they offered him, I said, ‘Why the fuck you talking to me? Call them if they’re giving you that. Hit them up, man.’ Everybody, they all doing that cheating. The number he told me, for me to keep him here, that’s cheating him and his family with what they can have.”
Johnson’s recruitment certainly had more drama. After Johnson visited the Forty Acres last week, reports emerged on Friday morning that he’d signed with North Carolina. By Friday evening, however, Johnson sided with Texas after all in a surprising reversal.
Following the entrance of Auburn into the portal, the Longhorns needed to find a proven kicker and accomplished that task a day after Auburn announced his intentions to enter the portal. Texas State transfer Mason Shipley had visited Oklahoma, but sided with home-state Texas last Friday, bringing an 88.6-percent career field-goal percentage with him to Austin, including 15-of-15 in 2023 and a career long of 60 yards.
By retaining a high-level focus on high school recruiting, the Longhorns reserve portal recruitments for important roster needs, which narrows the focus during the winter and spring windows, allowing Texas to identify and target the right fits from cultural and talent perspective.
Sarkisian remains invested in that process as the final decision maker, something he says he doesn’t want to give up, but his responsibilities as head coach and play caller do require him to delegate to his personnel staff, led by general manager Brandon Harris.
“Ultimately, I’ve either got to make the decision or I’ve got okay these decisions, because I’m the one that’s ultimately responsible for them, and so I try to look at it from that frame of mind,” Sarkisian said.
A quarterback at LSU and North Carolina, Harris was retained by Sarkisian when he arrived in early 2021 after two years as a quality control assistant. The rapport between Sarkisian and Harris was good enough for the new Texas head coach to immediately elevate Harris to Director of Recruiting, a role vacated by Bryan Carrington, who left for USC to become an assistant running backs coach in his ultimately-successful efforts to land an on-field role.
“Brandon’s a guy that when we came on here four and a half years ago, was really in kind of a grunt role. His name wasn’t in the news, he wasn’t making a whole lot of money,” Sarkisian said this week.
In that role, Harris helped Texas land the No. 5 recruiting class in 2022, the No. 3 class in 2023, and the No. 6 class in 2024 before the changes in NIL and the portal necessitated a more NFL-style approach to personnel and roster management. In response, Sarkisian created the general manager role and promoted Harris into it.
“Over time, like most people in our organization, you earn trust, right? And you earn trust by doing your job really well. In his time here, he’s kind of grown in the organization with more and more responsibilities. I’ve got a lot of faith in Brandon that he’s going to execute his job really well,” Sarkisian said.
After years of working with Harris in recruiting, the two have a high level of alignment in roster building.
“I love to recruit. I love building our roster. This is something that I take a lot of pride in is that I think Brandon and I are aligned really well on the vision for what we want our roster to look like, and numbers at certain positions, and body types and character, and all those things,” Sarkisian said.
Harris is supported by Director of Player Personnel John Michael Jones, a longtime Texas staffer who joined the program in late 2013 and was responsible for leading the walk-on program that produced eventual scholarship contributors like Luke Brockermeyer, Jett Bush, and Michael Taaffe. Last year, Jones took over the role formerly held by Billy Glasscock, an early hire by Sarkisian who left to become the general manager at Ole Miss.
“I trust those guys to assemble things to put in front of me so that we can make really good decisions on on the people we bring into our program, whether they’re high school, whether they’re college transfer portal guys, whether it’s how we execute our publicity rights and sharing that with our players, and balancing our roster and balancing our books, because that’s all part of what we do now. Brandon is very bright — the young guy’s got a bright future, but he does really good job for us,” Sarkisian said.
The proof is not just in the results, but also in how smoothly they come about.

John Wall on What Might Have Kept Him at Kentucky
John Wall was the first No. 1 NBA Draft pick in Kentucky Basketball history; fifteen years later, he says there’s a scenario in which he would have returned to Lexington for another season.

John Wall was the first No. 1 NBA Draft pick in Kentucky Basketball history; fifteen years later, he says there’s a scenario in which he would have returned to Lexington for another season.
During an interview with Matt Jones on “Sunday Mornings with Matt & Myron” on ESPN Radio, Wall said that he had so much fun during his one year at Kentucky that he would have come back for another if his draft stock wasn’t so high.
“I’d say great, man,” Wall said of his time in Lexington. “A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Since the day I stepped foot on campus, it was amazing. I already knew what the fanbase was like, and I knew how much they love basketball and horses out there, but it was surreal.
“I really enjoyed every moment of it, had fun, and it’d be one of those things, if I hadn’t had an opportunity to go number one [in the NBA Draft], I would have loved to come back for another year because I wanted to win a championship, but what we did and brought back the culture of fun basketball with Cal and all that going on at Kentucky, it was just so amazing.”
What specific draft projection could have kept Wall in Lexington for a sophomore season?
“I think like [pick number] 10 or higher, I probably would have come back.”
Wall was one of five Kentucky players drafted in the first round that year — a record for any school — along with DeMarcus Cousins (No. 5), Patrick Patterson (No. 14), Eric Bledsoe (No. 18), and Daniel Orton (No. 29). There’s no telling if the others would have followed Wall’s lead and returned to Lexington for one more run but it’s a fun hypothetical on a Monday in June.
Wall glad he didn’t play college basketball during the NIL era
One thing that could have factored into those decisions: NIL. If players had been able to profit off their name, image, and likeness when Wall was in college, there’s no doubt he would have been one of the top NIL earners in program history and maybe even all of college basketball. He was the biggest rockstar on the team that brought the fun back to Kentucky Basketball. Interestingly, Wall said he was happy NIL wasn’t around during his time as a Wildcat.
“Me and my homeboys talk about it all the time and joke, like, I don’t know if it’s true, but I just saw that [Duke star] Cooper Flagg made like $28 million, they say. I was like, good lord. But I don’t really — for me, I’m glad I didn’t come up in that era, you know what I mean?”
Nope. You would have made millions on millions. Explain more, please.
“Just for me, I think it’s dope, I think it’s great, I think what they’re doing is fun. I think they gotta do like some boundaries with some of it, you know what I mean, so it’s not like everybody jumping in the [transfer] portal every year and trying to just search for money, but I’m glad the athletes are getting paid. But I’m glad I got an era where I just got to play basketball, enjoy, have fun, and then make my decision if I want to go to the league or not.”
When Matt reminded Wall of how many fans still wear his Kentucky jersey to games, he admitted it would have been nice to get a piece of the pie; however, he wouldn’t trade his experience at Kentucky for anything.
“That would be dope, and it’s always like a lot of respect and love that I have for Kentucky, how much love they got for me, for all the things I’ve done there, and getting an opportunity to play there. Even though it was only one year, I enjoyed that. But yeah, that would be crazy to see how much I would have gotten from NIL for sure.”
We might see Wall back in Lexington soon. During the interview, he revealed that Mark Pope invited him to work out with the team this summer, and he’s trying to fit it into his schedule. Even if he can’t make that work, he vowed to return to his old Kentucky home sooner rather than later.
“Kentucky’s always home for me,” Wall said. There’s always love. That’s the school I went to, the jersey I put on. They gave me the opportunity to reach one of my goals and dreams in life to play college basketball, and play on one of the biggest levels for one of the best schools in the country, and a good opportunity to go to the league. So yeah, I’m definitely coming back.”

Several Regionals wrapped up coming out of Sunday’s results in the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament with spots already taken in the Super Regionals. However, based on the other results nationwide, a few more are in an in-or-out scenarios in Game 7s for Monday.
Coming out of the weekend, six games will be winner-take-all matchups at respective regionals around the country. Now, those games have had their time slots and television designations announced by those airing or streaming it at ESPN.
NCAA Baseball Tournament Schedule for Game 7s on Monday
Oklahoma vs. No. 5 North Carolina – 3 p.m. EST/2 p.m. CT on ESPNU/ESPN+
Murray State vs. No. 10 Ole Miss – 6 p.m. EST/5 p.m. CT on ESPN+
Wake Forest vs. No. 14 Tennessee – 6 p.m EST/5 p.m. CT on ESPN2/ESPN+
USC vs. No. 8 Oregon State – 6 EST/5 p.m. CT on ESPNU/ESPN+
Little Rock vs. No. 6 LSU – 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CT on ESPN2/ESPN+
Miami vs. No. 16 Southern Miss – 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CT on ESPN+
Six spots remain available in the Super Regionals going into the week tomorrow. A dozen teams will be in contention for them depending on how these games turn out to close the first weekend of the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
Regional Recap from Sunday’s results
Oklahoma 9, North Carolina 5
The Sooners trailed 3-2 after the fifth inning but took control in the sixth. They scored five runs that inning, including a two-run shot from Drew Dickerson, to take a 7-3 advantage. UNC refused to go away and answered with two runs in the top of the seventh. OU led 8-5 in the eighth inning when the Tar Heels loaded the bases with no outs, but the Sooners defense tightened up and somehow got out without giving up a score. They would hang on to win from there and force a winner-take-all for the regional title on Monday.
Ole Miss 19, Murray State 8
After suffering a loss to the Racers on Friday, the Rebels bounced back Sunday with a dominant win in the regional final. They trailed 3-2 after the first two innings, but that didn’t last long thanks to an eight-run third inning. Ole Miss added another five in the fourth to take full control and coast to the victory. That sets up a rematch on Monday with the winner moving on to Super Regionals.
Wake Forest 7, Tennessee 6
Tennessee and Wake Forest went at it through six innings as they were tied all the way through the ninth at six. However, with no outs at the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded, the Volunteers threw four balls at Jack Winnay for a walkoff walk to send the Knoxville Regional to a final game on Monday.
Little Rock 10, LSU 4
LSU simply couldn’t find enough offense after an early rally. The Tigers plated three runs in the first inning against Arkansas-Little Rock. They’d manage to scratch out only one more the rest of the way. And with Arkansas-Little Rock scoring two in the second inning, four in the third and four in the eighth that made for an uphill climb. The Tigers simply couldn’t get there, and now they’ll have to play a winner-take-all game on Monday.
Southern Miss 17, Miami 6
The Golden Eagles fought back with their backs against the wall and facing elimination for the dominant win to force a winner-take-all matchup on Monday. They scored nine runs in the opening inning and never trailed on their way to the victory. Miami never managed to get closer than within five runs after that as Southern Miss cruised behind two home runs and five RBI from Joey Urban.
Oregon State 14, USC 1
Oregon State prevailed in a baseball version of the old “Pac-12 after dark” against former conference rival USC. The Beavers bats were hot from the start as they finished with 17 hits in the lopsided win. OSU went up 6-1 after the first three innings and added another five runs in the sixth and seventh combined to pull even further ahead. Wyatt Queen got the start at pitcher and, despite giving up eight hits, allowed just one run in 4.1 innings of work. Kellen Oakes and Zach Kmatz closed things out for Oregon State, which will play USC again in a rematch Monday to advance to Supers.

Florida State basketball is undergoing massive changes across the board.
Not only will a new coach be leading the Seminoles for the first time in 23 years but, in the day and age of the transfer portal, NIL, and yearly roster turnover, FSU is undergoing a massive roster overhaul.
“There will be a lot of guys that hit the portal, and that shouldn’t scare anyone. That’s by design, both for these players and myself,” Loucks told reporters during his second interview since becoming Florida State men’s basketball coach.
This article will be updated throughout the off-season, tracking player movements and who will be part of Loucks’ first team in Tallahassee.

The 2025 Alabama baseball season ended on May 31, with a close 6-5 loss in game three of the NCAA Tournament Hattiesburg Regional. The Crimson Tide won 40 regular season games for the first time since 2002 but went 0-2 in a regional for the second straight year.
Head coach Rob Vaughn and his staff will now be responsible for managing the offseason, with wholesale changes to the sport’s scholarship model set to make an impact. Gone is the longstanding 11.7-scholarship limit, replaced by a head-count allowance of 34 with a corresponding cap at that same number on the spring roster (down from 40).
Apart from bringing in new faces via the 2025 signing class, and making the adjustments that come with that, there is also the matter of departures. Among others, veterans like captain Kade Snell and first baseman Will Hodo have used up their college eligibility.
The specter of the MLB Draft is an additional presence in offseason matters. Star pitcher Riley Quick, for example, will be a coveted prospect in that event and selected as such, meaning his college baseball days are over if he signs.
There are other players the program could lose to the pro ranks if those individuals hear their names called as well, like starting outfielders Bryce Fowler and Richie Bonomolo Jr. Star shortstop Justin Lebron is not draft-eligible yet. Weekend starter Zane Adams is. Both were sophomores in 2025.
Whatever takes place, the roster will look different next spring, as happens with the cycle of the offseason. The transfer portal (along with professional pathways for some players) cements that fact even further.
BamaCentral will keep track of personnel moves during the offseason, including incoming and outgoing transfers, providing updates on all of the above items and more. This story will be updated with news as it happens, with markers for dates as new events and changes occur.
Additionally, at the bottom of this page, there will be comprehensive lists of transfers both in and out of the program.

Jordan Lynch Named to 2026 Ballot for College Football Hall of Fame

DeKALB, Ill. – Northern Illinois University legend Jordan Lynch, who made history – and led NIU to historic heights – as a record-setting dual threat quarterback, has been named to the ballot for the 2026 NFF College Football Hall of Fame released on Monday by the National Football Foundation (NFF).
Lynch made the ballot as a first-time nominee after his name was forwarded by the District Screening Committee. Making the ballot is an important step in the process toward consideration for induction into the NFF College Football Hall of Fame. All-time, just one Huskie – trailblazing quarterback George Bork (1960-63) – has earned induction into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player. Bork was inducted in 1999.
Lynch, who was inducted into the NIU Athletics and Mid-American Conference Halls of Fame in 2024, guided NIU to a 24-4 record that included the MAC Championship and historic Orange Bowl appearance in 2012, and an undefeated regular season in 2013 that included Boneyard Wins over Iowa and Purdue.
His career was capped by a trip to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist where his third-place finish ranks as the highest ever by a player from the MAC. Lynch collected first team All-America honors from the Associated Press, Lindy’s and Phil Steele in 2013 as an all-purpose player after making the AP and Phil Steele second teams as a junior. He set five NCAA and 25 school records. The Chicago native never lost a road game (12-0) or a game at Huskie Stadium (11-0) as a starter.
He won the MAC’s Vern Smith Leadership (MVP) Award and was named the league’s offensive player of the year in both 2012 and 2013. In addition to his Heisman finish, Lynch was a finalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year, Manning Quarterback Award, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, Senior CLASS Award and AT&T All-America Player of the Year awards as a senior.
The 2026 College Football Hall of Fame Ballot, which includes 79 players and nine coaches from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and 100 players and 35 coaches from the NCAA divisional and NAIA ranks, is emailed to all dues-paying NFF chapter members, including those of the Chicago Metro Chapter, NFF academic members and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) members for a vote. The results are compiled and provided to the Honors Court, which determines the final class members.
To be eligible for the NFF College Football Hall of Fame, players must have been named a First Team All-American by a major national selector organization as recognized and utilized by the NCAA for their consensus All-America teams; played their last year of intercollegiate football at least 10 full seasons prior and within the last 50 years; and cannot be currently playing professional football. The candidate’s post-football record as a citizen may also be weighed. For more information on the voting procedures click here.
The announcement of the 2026 NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class will be made in early 2026, with specific details to be announced in the future. The Class will be officially inducted during the 68th NFF Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas on Dec. 8, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Resort, and permanently immortalized at the Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
