Texas fans and players react to the Longhorns landing Amari Niblack
This offseason has been Steve Sarkisian’s best so far, and it’s only January.
Texas has landed Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond, Silas Bolden, Trey Moore, Andrew Mukuba and Amari Niblack. That’s six starting-caliber players who have transferred to the Forty Acres within the past month.
Bond and Niblack come from Alabama, combined for nearly 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023, and were key contributors in the Crimson Tide offense.
Niblack joins Texas at a perfect time. The Longhorns will lose star tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders to the NFL draft, and Niblack’s skill set should flourish in a tight end-friendly system.
Sark has reloaded the Texas offense to match, or even outshine, its 2023 weapons.
Here is how Texas fans and players reacted to the Longhorns landing the star tight end.
Sark is Prime Shaq in the portal. 😂😂 #Hookem https://t.co/2rcc2dEjng pic.twitter.com/RrAQ9CRHLy

This is getting out of hand…
Reloaded is an understatement for this #Texas team https://t.co/nVBIjLRX48

Texas might be a top 5 lock to start the season. Let’s go win the SEC!

Texas has the #2 overall class now according to 247 sports.
Sark is not messing around.

Until this season, Steve Sarkisian was selling hope to recruits and players in the NCAA transfer portal. Now he's selling them on becoming the final pieces for a national championship run and well, it looks like that's working. #HookEm

Holy casuals
*****Sark uses two tight end sets more than most coaches in CFB
**** Bama TE is a speedy fast dude(deep threat)
*****Gunnar is a strong dude with good hands( blocking and possession)
We need both of these guys, not one or the other. Get off of twitter

I guess Isaiah Bond, Amari Niblack, and Kendrick Blackshire heard what Keilan Robinson said about coming to Texas and took it seriously.https://t.co/h0fmnqmSaU https://t.co/tqhiNegWRP
