Sarkisian was asked if attrition was inevitable in the transfer portal era given the strength the Longhorns have built at wideout.

“Some of it is natural,” Sarkisian said. “We try to really pride ourselves on being a really good development program. I think we have some examples of guys on our roster today who maybe weren’t at the forefront in their first or second year and have gone on to become really productive players.” So I’m trying not to buy into that mindset Falling victim that this is exactly what will happen, but I understand when it happens, if that makes sense.
