Texas Secures Top Player Through Transfer Portal

So, here’s a twist in the Longhorns saga — they snagged this player from the transfer portal. Yeah, you heard it right! On Friday, Texas managed to get Jack Endries, who used to be the tight end for the Cal Golden Bears. I mean, this guy was racking up the numbers last season for the Bears. Like, 56 catches? That’s not something you just gloss over, and let’s not even talk about the 623 yards and a couple of touchdowns he threw into the mix during his redshirt sophomore run. Those numbers? They led Cal, no less.

Okay, mood shift – Cal’s taking hits, it seems. Not only did they wave goodbye to Endries, but they’re also watching quarterback Fernando Mendoza head off to Indiana. And honestly, they’ve got a lot of gaps to patch up now. Meanwhile, Texas is strutting in off a pretty solid 13-3 season, snagging that College Football Playoff spot for the second year, back-to-back, no biggie. Gunnar Helm, their other tight end, he was the man with 60 catches, 786 yards, and 7 touchdowns. It’s like, will Endries fill those shoes? Feels like he might just step up and do the job. With Helm, plus guys like Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond, and Silas Bolden making moves to the NFL, there’s definitely room for Endries to make his mark.

Now, switching gears – Endries moving from Cal to Texas, it’s more than just a switch of teams. It’s jumping leagues — from the ACC into the SEC. Crazy, right? Remember when a transfer like this would’ve taken someone from the Pac-12 to the Big 12, and now here we are. Odd how things change, or maybe that’s just how college football rolls these days. Anyway, let’s see how this one plays out.
