Texas Longhorns fans may have never thought they’d see the day, but the program under Steve Sarkisian is now in a position where they simply need to reload and not rebuild.

The Longhorns are finally developing their talented recruiting classes and have also been hitting on nearly every transfer they bring in with players like Quinn Ewers and Adonai Mitchell leading the way. While they have a few weeks to prepare for their matchup against No. 2 Washington in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, they do have some possible needs to address in the transfer portal, which opened up on December 4.

While they have been doing a great job of developing recruits, there is a clear shift in philosophy in and around college football that sees coaches wanting to pursue experienced players who can simply be plugged into a position of need. With the portal having well over 1,000 entrants, there are quite a few different directions that Texas can go as they will have a few different needs to address, but there are four players that stand out as having major needs.

Here are the four players in the portal that Texas needs to land starting with defensive lineman Walter Nolen.
