Texas has added Cal tight end Jack Endries through the transfer portal. Tight end is a particular position of need for coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns. The California native agreed earlier this week to visit the 40 Acres, which he did on Friday and committed during his visit.
Endries is considered a reliable option in the passing game, with 623 receiving yards in 2024, good for third-best among tight ends in the ACC.
With the departure of Gunnar Helm to the 2025 NFL Draft, Sark needed to fill a big hole in the lineup. The Horns have Jordan Washington, Shannon Spencer, Emaree Winston, and Will Randle on the roster, but that group lacks experience. Endries gives the TE room some needed experience.
In March, Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian said that tight end was one position they would like to fill in the portal, and now an elite talent is available.

“Naturally, there are a couple of positions depth-wise where we’re not where we need to be right now,” Sarkisian said in March. “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 the 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 past two seasons, Endries has hauled in 91 catches for 1,031 yards and four touchdowns. The California native agreed earlier this week to visit the 40 Acres, which he did on Friday and committed during his visit.
