Texas defensive lineman Myron Warren officially enters transfer portal

According to Matt Zenitz of On3, Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Myron Warren has officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. He announced his intention to do so earlier on Tuesday but now, he is able to be contacted by other schools.

Warren spent three seasons in Austin but did not make his first appearance until this season. During his freshman year, head coach Tom Herman decided to redshirt the defensive lineman. He did not get any playing time last year but defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski got him into three games during 2021. Playing against Louisiana and Rice in the nonconference portion, Warren recorded three tackles against the Owls. His final appearance in a Texas uniform came in the season finale against Kansas State.

Coming out of high school, Warren was rated a four-star prospect by the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting services. He ranked as the No. 13 overall player from his home state of Louisiana and the No. 21 edge in the country.

Texas DL Myron Warren pens letter before entering transfer portal

Before entering the transfer portal, Warren penned a letter via Twitter. He thanked everybody involved with the program for his time in Austin and said the Longhorns will “always be family.” After spending three seasons with Texas, the goal is to find a new home to put him into the NFL.

“Hey UT family my time here has been a fun ride & I enjoyed being here along with my teammates & experiencing a great atmosphere every day,” Warren said in a statement. “I will be entering the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility left to further my success on & off the football field to reach my goal and one day play at the next level. I thank everyone that has supported me on my journey, UT will always be family.”

Warren is not yet ranked in the On3 transfer portal ranking. Coming out of Many, LA, top programs came after the defensive lineman during his original recruitment. Before his commitment to Texas, Warren named a top nine consisting of Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oregon, and Tennessee.

Now, the goal will be to find a new program where opportunities to earn playing time is in front of Warren. Although he has not been a huge contributor on the field for the past three seasons, there is plenty of talent left in the tank for the defensive lineman. It’s just about finding the right fit.
