Texas flips transfer defensive lineman from rival Oklahoma ahead of first season in SEC

Texas won twice in the portal on Thursday when the Longhorns added former Louisville defensive tackle Jermayne Lole from the transfer portal. The 6-3, 310-pound senior not only boosts Texas in the trenches, but it hurts rival Oklahoma because that is where Lole was originally committed. The Sooners added former TCU defensive tackle Damonic Williams to the room last week. 

The two concerns for the Texas defense are interior defensive line and at cornerback. Lole helps add a veteran presence with big-game experience alongside Alfred Collins, Vernon Broughton and fellow transfers like Bill Norton and Tiaoalii Savea.
