Steve Sarkisian Creates "Cap Space" at Texas
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian stated on The Paul Finebaum Show on Thursday that in a college football world with NIL and the transfer portal, you have to let talent walk to bring in talent. "I think in this day and age of the [Transfer] Portal and high school, you've got to have the ability to be strategic," Sarkisian said. "To make the moves we make, to bring in a Cam Coleman, to bring in a Hollywood Smothers, to bring in a Raleek Brown, to bring in a Mike Masunas at tight end; we had to let DeAndre Moore go. We had to let Parker Livingstone go. We had to let Tre Wisner go. We had to let CJ Baxter go. We had to let some pretty good players leave to create the cap space to bring those guys in. I think strategically, there were some tough decisions to make. But, we made them. I think we all can agree that we're probably better around Arch [Manning] today than we were a year ago at this time." In the past, constructing a college football roster was very unlike constructing an NFL roster but in this day and age, the two are a whole lot more similar.
