1. Isaiah Neyor – Wide Receiver
Former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, who had previously transferred to Nebraska, announced his decision to re-enter the transfer portal in December 2024. However, reports indicate that Neyor has now withdrawn his name from the portal, opting to stay at Nebraska for the 2025 season. During his time at Texas, Neyor faced challenges with injuries, including a torn ACL during preseason training in 2022. Despite these setbacks, he showcased his talent at Nebraska, finishing as the team’s second-leading receiver and leading in receiving touchdowns.

2. Juwan Mitchell – Linebacker
Linebacker Juwan Mitchell, who transferred to Texas from the junior college ranks in 2019, has also withdrawn from the transfer portal. Mitchell has been a key contributor to the Longhorns’ defense, earning three starts and recording 39 tackles, including 3.5 for loss, four pass breakups, and three sacks. His return is particularly crucial given the team’s depth concerns at the linebacker position. With Ayodele Adeoye recovering from foot surgery and Marcus Tillman sidelined due to a knee injury, Mitchell’s experience and leadership will be invaluable.
