Texas’ wide receiver room needed some additional depth after there were more departures than additions. With Coleman and Berkhalter, Texas now has nine true wide receivers in Chris Jackson’s position room. Berkhalter is also the most experienced of the bunch, as the Longhorns have five players who are sophomores or younger in the WR room.
Prior to Berkhalter’s addition, Texas had the No. 9 transfer portal class according to On3. Berkhalter is the 19th addition.
