Description
The Longhorns are looking to add key players to positions of need under first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian, and have turned out to find some success in the NCAA transfer portal. But with that success, Texas has also lost out on some key members of the roster, who are taking their talents elsewhere to start fresh at new schools.
On the mid-week episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes dive in to the latest news coming out of the Forty Acres, including the basketball team's second loss of Big 12 play to Oklahoma before shifting the focus to the football program after the Longhorns added to key positions in the transfers of former Notre Dame edge rusher Ovie Oghoufo and former LSU linebacker Ray Thornton. The hosts break down what the Longhorns are gaining in these two transfers, in addition to some of the losses Texas has undergone with the transfers of Jalen Green to Mississippi State and Keaontay Ingram to USC, and how that impacts the depth at cornerback and running back for Sarkisian and his staff.
The Flagship also weighs in on the QB race with Casey Thompson, Hudson Card and Charles Wright, and how a message Sarkisian said during his Zoom call with the media last week may have been directed at Thompson as he enters spring football appearing to be in the driver's seat in the QB competition.
Following a brief break, The Flagship returns with Love It or Leave It, with this week's topics focused on how substantial the additions of Thornton and Oghoufo are for the Longhorns, how substantial the loss of Green and Ingram are and what to expect from the quarterback competition with Sarkisian leading the offense for Texas.
Catch all of that and more on the mid-week episode of The Flagship Podcast.
