How many college WRs could come into the Texas locker room and be an alpha?
After the Wingo news, I used three different AI tools to create a consensus list of Top 10 WRs based on projections for 2025. Then, I asked it to rank their likelihood to portal. Interestingly enough, based on projections, Wingo was on all of the lists, and Moore was just outside of the Top 10. Which means, if we're looking to add alphas with experience to the roster, we're ONLY talking about the 9-12 other players in college football.

- Likelihood to portal: LOW, but it's a crowded WR room
5. Aaron Anderson (LSU)
- Projected Stats: 70 receptions, 950 yards, 8 TDs
- Likelihood to portal: LOW TO MODERATE, it's a crowded room in LSU, and they don't have the NIL dollars of the top schools

8. Carnell Tate (Ohio State)

10. C.J. Daniels (MIAMI)
