In this day and age, the graduate transfer market has the ability to shift the picture for national title contenders in the college football landscape. That almost happened for the Texas football program last season, by landing former Rice Owls offensive tackle Calvin Anderson and Cal Golden Bears running back Tre Watson. This year, the hot name on the transfer market and in the NCAA Transfer Portal that could be a target of the Texas football program is former Clemson Tigers running back Tavien Feaster.
Neither Watson nor Anderson became stars per say with Texas football, but both were surely key contributors immediately.
