Texas Longhorns score talented former Stanford WR from transfer portal
Texas has signed a key target from the transfer portal. Former Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V has committed to the Longhorns. The 6'2" freshman made his decision soon after visiting Austin this weekend.
Before choosing to go to Stanford, Mosely 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. Mosley entered the portal on April 3 after Stanford fired coach Troy Taylor on March 25. The transfer portal opens for 30 days whenever a head coach leaves their program, allowing athletes to leave and decide on their future, according to NCAA guidelines.
During his freshman year, the former Cardinal made the most of his opportunities, hauling in 48 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. Mosley's best performance came against No. 19 Louisville, where he finished with 13 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns and earned ACC Rookie of the Week.
Wide receiver is a key position of need for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. "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."

Stars Release Statement After Shocking Firing of Peter DeBoer
Stars Release Statement After Shocking Firing of Peter DeBoer originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Stars have fired head coach Peter DeBoer after losing in the Western Conference Final. This move comes after a disappointing ending to the season for Dallas and some major backlash from the players. Advertisement Stars general manager Jim Nill released a statement on the firing of the veteran coach. 'After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,' Nill said. 'We'd like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.' DeBoer posted a record of 149-68-29 over 246 regular-season games with the Stars. The veteran coach went 29-27 in the postseason, including helping Dallas make three straight Western Conference Final appearances. But the team couldn't get over the hump to win the Stanley Cup. The team never made the Stanley Cup Final under the leadership of DeBoer. Dallas Stars head coach Peter DeBoer looks on during the first period against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center. David Banks-Imagn Images A lot of this firing likely had to do with how DeBoer handled star goalie Jake Oettinger in the final game of the conference final this year. Oettinger was pulled from the game early after allowing multiple goals, and DeBoer then threw him under the bus. Advertisement "The reality is, if you go back to last year's playoffs, he's lost six of seven games to Edmonton and we gave up two (goals) on two (shots) in an elimination game," DeBoer said of Oettinger. "It was partly to spark our team and wake them up and partly knowing that status quo had not been working. And that's a pretty big sample size." Many people in the organization didn't like this from DeBoer, and he now has suffered the consequences of his actions. Dallas will now look for a new leader to help this team go forward. The Stars have a lot of talent on the roster, but they need to figure out how to maximize this group going forward.
