The bad news that arrived for the Texas football program on June 22 was mostly detrimental to one position group. Texas and new head coach Steve Sarkisian saw the wide receiver room lose two players on June 22, as it seems now. The first is the three-star 2021 wide receiver signee and Rudder High School product Keithron Lee. And the other is junior wide receiver and former four-star recruit Jake Smith.

Texas saw the former Gatorade National High School Football Player of the Year and Arizona native Smith enter the NCAA Transfer Portal after nearly three years with the program.
