According to reports from Inside Texas's Eric Nahlin, Longhorns starting linebacker Liona Lefau has left the team and intends to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Emma Halter's decorated NCAA and UT career ended Sunday in an Elite Eight loss, but her impact will continue to be felt, head coach Jerritt Elliott said.
