The NCAA Transfer Portal strikes the depth of the Texas football program yet again. This time, Texas lost a key part of the 2019 recruiting class that made a big immediate impact, with former JUCO Transfer linebacker Juwan Mitchell. Last season, Mitchell was a key cog once the injuries started to pile up at linebacker for Texas.
The Texas Longhorns football program now has two sizable losses from the linebacker position to the transfer portal. Former three-star JUCO recruits and California native outside linebacker Caleb Johnson landed with head coach Chip Kelly and the UCLA Bruins after putting his name in the transfer portal last year.
