A tremendously deep Texas Longhorns roster is now down one body who could have projected as a key piece of the program’s long-term future, as sophomore center Will Baker has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per Roger Wallace of KXAN News.
“Playing for Texas was always a childhood dream,” Baker said. “My decision to transfer has been one of the most difficult and has been a year in the making.”
“My goal has been and remains to meaningfully contribute to the success of my team,” Baker later added. “At Texas, I wasn’t maximizing my potential. I gradually came to realize that there is another place that’s a better fit, and now I am trusting God to lead me to the right program.
