Sources: Ex-Stanford WR Mosley heads to Horns

Stanford transfer wide receiver Emmett Mosley V signed with Texas on Monday, sources told ESPN.

Mosley, the No. 8 player in ESPN’s spring transfer rankings, chose to continue his career with the Longhorns after also visiting Virginia. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound wideout led all ACC freshmen with 48 catches last season and produced 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns in his debut season with the Cardinal. Mosley entered the transfer portal earlier this month after Stanford fired coach Troy Taylor.

Mosley, a former three-star recruit from Santa Margarita, California, earned a starting role with the Cardinal and became the team’s second-leading receiver as a true freshman. He enjoyed a strong finish to his debut season with two 100-yard performances in November and broke multiple program single-game freshman records in an upset win over Louisville with 13 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns.

He’ll give new Texas starting quarterback Arch Manning another proven playmaker in a passing attack that must replace Matthew Golden, Gunnar Helm, Isaiah Bond and Silas Bolden. The Longhorns’ top two returning receivers, Ryan Wingo and DeAndre Moore Jr., have both been limited by injuries this spring.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian has told reporters he’s also looking to add help at tight end and on the defensive line when the spring transfer portal window officially opens Wednesday. The Longhorns brought in five transfers this offseason as they look to build on their 13-3 season, which came to an end in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
