Are there any transfer portal rumblings? Is Tacario Davis an option?

(Thanks for distracting me while I get through this Friday of work) I posted this on a thread but I’d like to know y’all’s thoughts on the best lower ranked guys (3*) on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Similarly, I’d like to know which 3* from the 2024 recruiting class should be starters down the line.

I’m going to throw out the QB position with my answer. Jaydon Blue/Alfred Collins

Development matters. 5* athletes are great, but sometimes the staff needs to point to a 3* success story and show a high schooler how they developed them into being a guy who plays on Sundays. So, now that 3* success stories like Jaylan Ford and T’Vondre Sweat are off to the NFL, who is Texas’ most impactful 3* (high school rated) on the roster? Some examples below: - Barryn Sorrell, DE - Hayden Connor, OL - Gunnar Helm, TE - Jake Majors, C - Ethan Burke, DE

Colt McCoy, but Jordan Whittington is up there too. Not a superstar talent, but was a junk yard dog who bled Burnt Orange. His impact on the locker room will be felt for a long time.

Thoughts on who would be the most impactful defensive newcomer? Andrew Mukuba is my best bet… he’s great when he plays safety. But, Trey Moore, Tia Savea, and freshman early enrollees (particularly if/when injuries happen) like Collin Simmons, Kobe Black, Xavier Filsaime, Alex January could all be impact guys IMO
