Jordan Whittington Transfer News: He's Back for More!
Former Texas WR Jordan Whittington Returning for Second Year
Whittington to Make Impact in 2023 Season
Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Jordan Whittington has announced that he will be returning to the program for the 2023 season. Whittington, who entered the NCAA transfer portal in December, has decided to withdraw his name and remain in Austin.
Whittington's decision to return is a major boost for the Longhorns, who are looking to improve on a disappointing 5-7 season in 2022. Whittington is a talented playmaker who can stretch the field and make big plays.
In 2022, Whittington caught 26 passes for 419 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown. Whittington is expected to play a major role in the Longhorns' offense in 2023.
Whittington's return is also a sign of the Longhorns' commitment to building a winning program. Head coach Steve Sarkisian has been working hard to rebuild the program since he arrived in Austin in 2021. Whittington's decision to return is a sign that Sarkisian is making progress in his efforts to turn the Longhorns around.
The Longhorns are scheduled to open the 2023 season on September 2nd against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.
