The widespread use of the transfer portal in college football has made it common for players to switch teams for a better opportunity to play or to establish a bigger brand.

And for the Texas Longhorns, they will have to face off with an unusual number of former players when they battle against the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl on Jan 1st.

Six players on the Sun Devils roster used to play for Texas. Safety Xavion Alford, receivers Jake Smith and Troy Omeire, defensive ends J’Mond Tapp and Prince Dorbah, and defensive tackle Zac Swanson are the Texas transfers.

The only player to see extensive playing time for the Longhorns would be Jake Smith, who played for Texas between 2019-2020 and brought in nine touchdowns and over 500 receiving yards.

Zac Swanson, who was a four-star recruit for the Horns as a member of the 2022 class, went viral on X this past week for saying Texas “kicked him out” and that it would be “a dream” to play them.

That’s my dream…That’s a team that kicked me out,” Swanson said last week.

“They said if you want to stay at Texas, you might as well quit football and just go to school here. So, a lot of motivation there for me.”

Obviously, those comments came before the Longhorns beat Clemson and made it to Atlanta to take on the Sun Devils to begin with.

Swanson has 16 tackles, two tackles for loss, and .5 sacks in 12 games this season as a backup nose tackle.
