Texas loses Quintrevion Wisner to the transfer portal

The Texas Longhorns offense took a huge hit ahead of the team’s bowl game against the Michigan Wolverines next week.

Quintrevion Wisner, the team’s leading rusher, plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens Jan. 2, his agent Grayson Sheena told multiple media outlets. He led the Longhorns with 1,064 rushing yards and five touchdowns in 2024 and had 597 rushing yards in 2025 with three touchdowns.

He earned third-team All-SEC honors last season for his performance as the Longhorns advanced to the College Football Playoff semifinals. The Longhorns struggled for the most part, starting the season No. 1 in the nation but falling early on to Ohio State.

Wisner only had one game with 100+ rushing yards and it came at a key time. He rushed for 155 yards in Texas’ regular season finale against the Texas A&M Aggies. The Longhorns won the game 27-17 and hoped they had done enough to earn a College Football Playoff bid.

Instead, Texas will face Michigan in the Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve.

The move will allow head coach Steve Sarkisian to see what he has in his young running backs. Christina Clark and James Simon remain on the list. CJ Baxter and Jerrick Gibson have also announced their intentions to transfer, according to ESPN.
