Texas Lands Key Transfer Addition from Pittsburgh

The Longhorns’ search for a replacement at linebacker finally came to an end when Rasheem Biles, a transfer from the University of Pittsburgh, announced his intention to join the Texas program. A highly touted prospect in high school and early college, Biles brings significant experience and skill to the table, having started 26 games for the Panthers during his two seasons with the team. Biles’ decision to join the Longhorns comes as a welcome relief for Steve Sarkisian’s staff, who have been searching for answers at the linebacker position following the departure of Anthony Hill Jr. to the NFL Draft and the uncertainty surrounding Liona Lefau and Elijah Barnes, both of whom entered the transfer portal. The addition of Biles is expected to provide an immediate boost to the Longhorns’ defense, which struggled at times last season despite a talented roster. With his speed, agility, and tackling ability, Biles is poised to make an impact on the field and help shape the future of the Texas linebacker corps. While details about Biles’ exact terms with the program are still forthcoming, it’s clear that this transfer has significant implications for the Longhorns’ chances in 2024. With a new face at the position, Texas fans can now look forward to seeing how the team will gel and compete under the guidance of Sarkisian’s staff.
