The biggest positional need for Texas football to scout in the NCAA Transfer Portal during the spring window is defensive tackle. Texas needs a proven defensive tackle who can make an immediate impact along this defensive front for the upcoming 2024 season in the SEC.
Texas football targeting recent Indiana DL transfer Philip Blidi
A recent portal entrant this spring that the Longhorns have already displayed interest in this week is the former Indiana Hoosiers and Texas Tech Red Raiders senior defensive tackle Philip Blidi. The two-time transfer defensive lineman announced on his X account on March 18 that he is entering the portal as a graduate transfer.
The 6-foot-3 and 295-pound Blidi should be a defensive tackle that most Texas fans could be familiar with from his time at Texas Tech a couple of years ago. Blidi spent three seasons at Texas Tech before transferring to Indiana last offseason.
Blidi has faced the Longhorns twice in live-game action during his time at Texas Tech in 2021 and 2022.
