Mississippi as in Ole Miss??? They are very deep everywhere and a likely playoff team and maybe even a national title contender. I can possibly see Mississippi State who we play in Sept. That would be interesting to have him line-up against us. Washington had absolutely gigantic roster turnover so I can see him landing there and getting plenty of PT. Good for him. I hope he lands safely and rep's us well. Personally I'd like to see him go to Washington. I think that would be a great opportunity for him.

So far this portal period has been relatively painless for UT. Yes - some notable losses but will they affect the W total - likely not. Let's see if UT grabs anyone as we now have 2 or 3 slots open.

Buried on depth chart. The problem is that a back-up will transfer and most likely remain a back-up wherever they go. To not stay a back-up they must transfer to a lower quality program or go DII. Obvious statements to us but maybe not to a younger guy less well seasoned or advised. I wish him good luck.

Haven't looked at this thread in a long time. Was hoping to see some nice portal transfers coming in since it opened back up. Not happening from what I've seen here.

Seems pretty full.
Out of P5 programs:
LB Lance Dixon Penn St/WVU
WR/DB Terrell Crosby Jr Iowa St
OT Jakob James Ohio St
CB Jadarrius Perkins Missouri/UF
Then JUCO's, FCS, Division II, etc.

These recent transfer outs were never going to play at UT so their departures open the door for better players to arrive and compete. Hate to see a local kid leave but best for both parties.

Tre Richardson is in the portal. I noticed he has left his lower level DII offers visible on X but not his DI. Perhaps he got here and found out he was not a DI talent level player. That is my take on this situation.
Tough to judge JUCO players these days and even more so with portal. Leaves another receiver spot open at UT for better talent.

Tre Richardson did thank the UT coaches on X. There must have been a frank discussion between him and the UT staff. Tre states that he is open to a track scholarship. As stated in my above post I think his football talent/size/etc. maybe didn't translate well to DI. ODU did offer him a football scholarship but they are the only DI school to do so since his April 16th jump back into the portal. He has not accepted.
