The decision ended a fast and quiet portal recruitment for Wisner, who sat out the Citrus Bowl and departed the Longhorns program after it became apparent that head coach Steve Sarkisian planned to target a running back to replace Wisner as the starter. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWisner’s exit marked the biggest transfer portal departure of the Sarkisian era at Texas and ensured that the position room of new running backs coach Jabbar Juluke requires a total rebuild with Wisner, redshirt sophomore CJ Baxter, sophomore Jerrick Gibson, and freshman Rickey Stewart all entering the portal. That leaves only three returning running backs on the roster — redshirt freshman Christian Clark, freshman James Simon, and freshman Michael Terry — and delivers a blow to the team’s leadership and toughness, two high-level attributes that Wisner provided to Texas in addition to serving as the team’s leading rusher over the last two seasons. In the current era of college football, the added element to postseason exit meetings with coaches is negotiations and Wisner’s departure indicated that Texas was unwilling to meet his price. A two-way standout at Waco Connally before transferring to DeSoto as a senior and spending a significant amount of time at wide receiver due to injuries, Wisner finished the 2023 cycle as a consensus three-star prospect ranked as the No. 494 player nationally and the No. 33 running back, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
