Kendrick Blackshire, a linebacker who transferred to the University of Texas from Alabama earlier this year, has re-entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. Blackshire, a former four-star recruit and the nation's 7th rated linebacker, had initially joined Texas in January after spending three years at Alabama where he accumulated 25 tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery. Despite going through the spring semester with the Longhorns and posting 16 tackles last year, Blackshire did not play in any games and decided to enter the portal again just hours before the portal window was set to close. Texas now holds 81 scholarships for 2024, which is four below the FBS maximum.
What a world college athletics has become. Texas grabbed a linebacker from Alabama out of the portal. He went through spring, then hopped back in the portal hours before the deadline. Three months in Austin, encompassing the spring semester, zero snaps played What're we doing?
Horns are now 81 scholarships for 2024, four below the FBS max. Blackshire falls under "Tough to get worked up over someone who never played a down for you." https://t.co/yWHaaIt7HE
