Texas P Isaac Pearson enters the NCAA transfer portal

Texas Longhorns redshirt freshman Isaac Pearson announced Friday that he intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal as a summer transfer with three seasons remaining.

A one-time coal mine apprentice, Pearson was an Australian football player before training with ProKick Australia and signing with Texas as the No. 5 player and No. 2 player in Australia in the 2021 draft, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

After enrolling early, Pearson didn’t play as a freshman and Cameron Dicker served as the kicker in all three stints, but was expected to move into the starting role this year after Ryan Buiczewski left to transfer. Pearson did win the starting job in preseason camp, but after missing a punt and a 15-yard punt in the season opener against Louisiana-Monroe, he didn’t attempt another punt, as August enrollee Daniel Trejo expected. starting role.

Pearson is the 10th Texas player to enter the transfer window or announce his intention to do so after the regular season ends.
