Texas Longhorns to Host SEC Edge Rusher for Transfer Portal Visit

The Texas Longhorns continue to enhance their roster through the transfer portal, focusing on defensive improvements after securing offensive talent. Following the signings of wide receiver Cam Coleman and running back Hollywood Smothers, Texas is now targeting Tennessee edge rusher Caleb Herring. Reports indicate that Herring, a former four-star prospect from Newnan, GA, will visit Texas, suggesting a potential commitment.

Herring has demonstrated his abilities at Tennessee, playing in 13 games in the 2025 season with notable performances against Georgia and Mississippi State. His addition would further strengthen Texas's transfer class, which already includes SEC players like LSU's Zion Williams and Arkansas's Ian Geffrard. The Longhorns have also added talent across various positions, including special teams, as they aim to return to the College Football Playoff under the leadership of coach Steve Sarkisian.
