This portal opening is going to be the most entertaining part of this whole thing since the end of the OSU playoff game a year ago.  

Sark is keeping Orphey? Or just until a replacement can be found after the season?

I think I read/heard Orphey is safe.

Who else do we think may portal out that hasn't already been reported? Maybe Wardell Mack? Any bigger pain to look out for?

Robertson was mentioned. Unsure if you’ve seen him listed somewhere tho

Ryan Williams is garbage and quickly found out it’s fucking stupid to be the youngest person on a football field unless you’re about to negotiate your 2nd NFL contract. That QB from Ole Miss that finished high school 2 years early and has ridden the bench for 3 years now learned that too.

I don't want to give Ryan Williams what he wants because, well, he has Wingo hands. But if he's affordable (he's not) and won't break the bank, take him. He's not total shit, he's shown flashes, and obviously not every WR is made the same. He had a shit year, and that may be his mean, but what he showed his freshman year was nothing short of phenomenal for a kid who was just 17. I don't know if it's a Soph slump or what, but my guess is he's soft. Once he got lit up hard he wasn't the same again. He avoids contact. 
 

All I was saying is if Sark took him (he's not leaving Bama so it's moot) I would be fine with it. No disappointment. But I would much rather have Antonio Williams, TJ Moore, or Wesco (man that's crazy they have three bad ass WR's and can't win more than 6 games). Cam Coleman is just another Wingo, so I don't care about where he lands. Wingo, Williams, and Coleman all seem to have a problem catching the ball.

I joke about it but some fans genuinely can't grasp that the players on their favorite teams are actual people and might possibly be talking about something else in their life other than the sport they watch.

Other players mentioned by IT to watch (sorry if already posted but didn't notice it if so):

With the NCAA Transfer Portal set to open on January 2nd, the Texas Longhorns will be very active. Here are a few prospects that could end up on the Horns Portal Board.
Tree Babalade, OT, South Carolina via Hyattsville (Md.)

The Gamecocks’ redshirt sophomore offensive lineman plans to enter the portal when the window opens next month.

Babalade started 15 games for the SEC’s USC, earning snaps in 22 overall games across three years. He split time between left tackle and right tackle, and that versatility could be very intriguing for Texas. The Horns need depth at offensive tackle behind Trevor Goosby and Brandon Baker.

With 421 snaps in 2025, he posted a solid 70.1 pass blocking grade and but a not so strong 56.3 run blocking mark.

The 6-5, 330-pound blocker was a four-star prospect out of DeMatha Catholic in the Class of 2023. Babalade will have two years of eligibility remaining in college.
Ian Geffrard, DT, Arkansas via Mableton (Ga.)

The former 2023 three-star from Whitefield Academy in Mableton, Georgia signed as an offensive lineman but was converted to defensive tackle in Fayetteville.

Geffrard hit the field early in 2023, playing in four games that season, including three SEC contests. In 2024 and 2025, he played in all 24 games with 12 starts,

The 2025 season was the most dominant of Geffrard’s career for the 6-foot-5, 387-pounder. He would finish with 25 total tackles, including 4.0 tackles for a loss. He also had a pass defended during the year.

He took 429 snaps in 2025, with a solid 72.8 overall defensive grade and 78.6 run blocking mark.

Texas would like another plugger at nose, Geffrard would be one of my first phone calls.
Amari Odom, QB, Kennesaw State via Cary (N.C.) Panther Creek

The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder will enter the Transfer Portal and Texas needs a replacement for Matthew Caldwell. Odom threw for 2,594 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2025, in addition to passing for 1,565 yards and seven scores in 2024.

Odom’s family has impressive sports DNA. His father, DeWayne, played for the San Diego Chargers while his mother played professionally in the WNBA.

Odom produced a strong 75.0 overall defensive mark in 2025, sporting 73.9 (passing) and 64.6 (rushing grades.

Caldwell was a perfect add last year as Arch Manning‘s backup. Steve Sarkisian and AJ Milwee will be looking to duplicate that this offseason.
Antonio Tripp Jr, IOL, FIU via Miami via Owings Mills (Md.)

The 6-foot-3, 300-pound South Beach offensive lineman saw little action in two seasons at Miami and enjoyed a quality year at FIU in 2025.

But Texas needs to fix the interior O-line and Tripp Jr. could help in that regard. He will do so with three years of collegiate eligibility remaining after utilizing his redshirt.

The multi-time transfer notched a 60.2 overall grade on 526 snaps, per PFF. He added a 67.8 pass blocking score and 61.3 run blocking mark in 2025.

He originally transferred to play HS ball at The IMG Academy in Bradenton (Fla.) and was the No. 769 overall recruit there as a three-star prospect in the 2023 class. He also rated as a Top-75 IOL in the class and a top 125 player out of Florida.

Texas and Kyle Flood will look for multiple interior linemen. Tripp Jr. could potentially be in the watch list.
