This was expected. He played lights out football for Texas. I wish him well. I'm excited to see him play on Sundays

guess he's out of the bowl game?

Yep. No point in playing unless a national title (or potential to get to the national title) is involved

Yep, saw it yesterday but was away from my laptop so I couldn't share the news. I wish him well. Looks like Smith will get a lot more snaps now!

Another one that isn't a big surprise.

Except for Baxter, are there any players entering the portal we and the coaches wish would stay?

None of the players entering were surprises, and I’m sure the coaches pointed out how blocked their paths to playing time were. I think this included Baxter, even though I think he was a positive in the locker room. I like our staff in that I think they direct players toward what is actually best for those players

Auburn is said to be the leader for Baxter.

There is one player that OTF has hinted at – sayiing he wasn't a starter but played a lot. He hasn't entered the portal yet but the winds of speculation are swirling. They didn't name the player, other than he was on offense.

The only one I can think of that I see leaving who fits that is Jordan Washington.

SHA, any word on Manny Muhammad declaring for the draft? Was hoping we could talk him into one more year.

They knew Baxter was leaving. With him not as explosive as he once was, they were going to make him take a big paycut to stay.

Nothing official, but I think he'll go.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

FYI, Baxter's departure is very much NIL related. Texas wanted to reduce the amount to match the production. Baxter wasn't going to do that.

I'm with you, I think it's one of the TEs...if not Washington then maybe Shannon.

I hope and pray it isn't Nick Brooks.
