After losing wide receiver Freddie Dubose in the transfer portal, the Texas Longhorns have been busy looking for his replacement and may be close to finding a solution. The Longhorns are hosting former Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V for a visit on Friday. He entered the transfer portal earlier this week.
Before choosing to go to Stanford, Mosely V was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class. He received offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, USC, Georgia, LSU, and Penn State. He will now be looking to join a program where he could be more involved in the passing game.
During his freshman year, the former Cardinal made the most of his opportunities. He hauled in 48 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns. Mosley V's best performance came against No. 19 Louisville, where he finished with 13 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns.

While the Longhorns have plenty of weapons, wide receiver is an area they want to add to. On Tuesday, head coach Steve Sarkisian highlighted that position when speaking with the media.
"Naturally, there are a couple of positions depth-wise where we're not where we need to be right now," Sarkisian said. "We'll look at the portal that way. Our numbers are down at receiver right now from a scholarship standpoint. Our numbers are down on the defensive line from where our numbers really should be. And our number's really down at tight end. It's not a secret that we'll look to the portal, but I don't want to take a guy just for a number."
Over the last few years, Texas has been a popular destination for wide receivers. Transfer receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Matthew Golden have gone one-and-done at Texas and boosted their stock leading up to the NFL Draft. As Mosley V narrows his list, the Longhorns will be one of the top programs involved.
