Stanford WR Emmett Mosley V sets visit with Longhorns after entering transfer portal
Stanford WR Emmett Mosley V sets visit with Longhorns after entering transfer portal With a spot open at WR, the Longhorns are hosting former Stanford star Emmett Mosley V
After losing wide receiver Freddie Dubose in the transfer portal, the Texas Longhorns have been busy looking for his replacement and may be close to finding a solution. The Longhorns are hosting former Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V for a visit on Friday. He entered the transfer portal earlier this week.
Before choosing to go to Stanford, Mosely V was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class. He received offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, USC, Georgia, LSU, and Penn State. He will now be looking to join a program where he could be more involved in the passing game.
During his freshman year, the former Cardinal made the most of his opportunities. He hauled in 48 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns. Mosley V's best performance came against No. 19 Louisville, where he finished with 13 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns.
While the Longhorns have plenty of weapons, wide receiver is an area they want to add to. On Tuesday, head coach Steve Sarkisian highlighted that position when speaking with the media.
"Naturally, there are a couple of positions depth-wise where we're not where we need to be right now," Sarkisian said. "We'll look at the portal that way. Our numbers are down at receiver right now from a scholarship standpoint. Our numbers are down on the defensive line from where our numbers really should be. And our number's really down at tight end. It's not a secret that we'll look to the portal, but I don't want to take a guy just for a number."
Over the last few years, Texas has been a popular destination for wide receivers. Transfer receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Matthew Golden have gone one-and-done at Texas and boosted their stock leading up to the NFL Draft. As Mosley V narrows his list, the Longhorns will be one of the top programs involved.

Record 2.4 million watched Texas' win over Texas Tech in Game 3 of WCWS
The viewership numbers for women's softball, much like the right arm of Texas star Teagan Kavan, continue to be a rocket. Texas' 10-4 win over Texas Tech in Game 3 of the Women's College World Series averaged 2.4 million viewers on ESPN and ESPNU. That's the most-watched NCAA college softball game ever. The game peaked at 2.7 million viewers. Advertisement The entire Women's College World Series Finals averaged 2.2 million viewers to make it the most-watched WCWS Finals in history. That's up 13 percent from last year, which was the previous all-time high. ESPN set viewership records for each game of the WCWS. Game 2 was the most-watched Game 2 Finals on record (2.1 million viewers), as was Game 1 (2.1 million viewers). ESPN will have more detailed Series numbers on Tuesday, including streaming numbers and which cities drew the highest household ratings. What is clear is that 2025 will come in as the most-watched Women's College World Series postseason (including all games) in history, topping the prior high in 2021. This year's Women's World Series also included the most-watched non-finals WCWS game on record since 2015, when 2.2 million viewers tuned in for UCLA-Tennessee. Last year's WCWS Finals between Oklahoma and Texas averaged 2 million viewers. That was up 24 percent from 2023 and up three percent from the previous all-time high in 2015 (Florida/Michigan). The win was Texas' first national title in softball after the Longhorns reached the championship stage three times in the last four years. It featured two of the sport's most prolific pitchers — Kavan and Texas Tech ace NiJaree Canady. Kavan allowed no earned runs throughout 31 2/3 innings pitched in the WCWS. She improved to 5-0 against Canady and was named Most Outstanding Player. (Photo of Texas celebrating its national title: Sarah Phipps / The Oklahoman / USA Today Network via Imagn Images)

Disturbing Details Emerge Regarding Quinn Ewers' Injury at Texas
Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers experienced a crushing end to his college football career, losing in the semi-finals to the national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, and looking hurt in the process. Truth came out about his injury, as he was interviewed by former five-year NFL backup quarterback Kurt Benkert. Advertisement In their sit down, Ewers told Benkert that he was playing with a grade three ankle sprain, something that is not supposed to be played football on. Something that clearly affected him in the end of his collegiate career at Texas, and perhaps something that hindered his draft status as he fell to the seventh round, where the Miami Dolphins selected him. Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn E. Martinez/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Certainly disturbing details surrounding his situation, as fans around the sport saw a less mobile version of Ewers that we have been used to seeing during his time with the Longhorns. After a rough end for Ewers, he is healthy and starting his next steps as a professional quarterback in Miami, Florida. After going viral on Jon Gruden's QB Class with his praise on Ewers' ability and knowledge of throwing the football, he now enters his next stage. Advertisement The coming weeks and months will be big for his development, and now that he is healthy, can show the Dolphins who they really got as a potential steal in the NFL Draft. He was recently spotted at the NFL Players Association Rookie Premiere event sporting his new number for the Dolphins, as he will be wearing the No. 14 for Mike McDaniel's team this season. A potential story to watch will be how he plays in camp and in the pre-season, and barring injury to star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, playing time in the regular season as well.
