Per On3’s Hayes Fawcett, former Texas football junior transfer defensive back Austin Jordan has committed to the TCU Horned Frogs. Jordan committed to TCU on May 7, making him the fourth Texas player to transfer to a Big 12 school this spring.
Ex-Texas football DB Austin Jordan commits to TCU
Jordan’s commitment to head coach Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs comes just a couple of days after his visit to Fort Worth last weekend wrapped up. He has two years of eligibility remaining
The 6-foot-1 and 200-pound defensive back from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex played his first two seasons at Texas. Jordan contributed on offense and special teams for the Longhorns in the last two seasons.
He registered over 100 defensive snaps and 365 special teams snaps since 2022. Jordan posted 11 combined tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, one interception, and two defensive stops.
Jordan was a four-star recruit from Denton (TX) Ryan High School in north DFW. He signed with a Longhorns 2022 class that ranked fifth nationally in the 247Sports Composite. Jordan ranked as the No. 256 prospect nationally in the 2022 class in the 247Sports Composite, No. 21 safety, and No. 41 from Texas.
The No. 49 transfer safety in the On3 Industry Ranking joins junior cornerback Terrance Brooks as the two Longhorns defensive backs who entered the portal since the conclusion of spring ball. Brooks still has yet to announce his transfer destination this spring.
Since Jordan and Brooks transferred out from Texas a couple of weeks ago, the Longhorns have picked up a portal commitment from former San Jose State Spartans sophomore cornerback Jay’Vion Cole. The latest portal movement has left head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns with three remaining scholarship spots before they hit the limit of 85.
It is once again an Olympic year and athletes from all around the world are heading to Paris to compete in the 2024 Summer Games.
As usual, Texas Longhorns will be predominately featured on the rosters of multiple countries’ Olympic teams – especially Team USA.
The Paris Olympics are set to kick off on July 26 with the opening ceremony.
Among the first Longhorns confirmed to be on Team USA for the Olympic Games are basketball stars Ariel Atkins and Kevin Durant.
As former Texas stars are named to Olympic rosters around the world, this story will update with more and more Longhorns to pay attention to this summer.
Kevin Durant – Team USA – Men’s basketball
Kevin Durant played just one season in Austin but put together one of the most spectacular years of college basketball in history.
Durant won the Naismith and Wooden Awards and led the Horns to an appearance in the Round of 32 before heading to the NBA.
Ariel Atkins – Team USA – Women’s basketball
Ariel Atkins played for Texas from 2015 to 2018 and appeared in three Sweet Sixteens and one Elite Eight during her time with the Horns.
While Atkins was on the Horns’ roster, Texas boasted a 77.1 percent win rate with a 108-32 overall record.
