Texas Longhorns Gain Huge Transfer Portal Benefit Post Madisen Skinner’s NCAA Exit

On December 13, the Texas Longhorns’ dreams came crashing down when they lost to Creighton volleyball, getting knocked out of the Sweet 16. It was a tough pill to swallow for the team, but for senior Madisen Skinner, it stung even more. Not only did she have to face that gut-wrenching loss, but it also marked her final game in her collegiate career. But hey, here’s the silver lining—when the transfer portal opened, Texas wasn’t left hanging. With Madisen Skinner moving on, the Longhorns scored big with a massive transfer portal win, adding some fresh talent to their lineup!

The Assistant Sports Editor and resident Pitt volleyball pundit, Matthew Scabilloni of @pittnewssports, spilled some serious tea for volleyball enthusiasts on X on January 9. Dropping the scoop, he shared, “Well there it is. Former #Pitt volleyball star Torrey Stafford is transferring to Texas with two years of eligibility. She’ll be one of Texas’ stars in 2025, taking over the role of future Olympian Madisen Skinner at outside hitter.” Talk about big moves! Stafford is expected to take her best form to the Longhorns and if the words of Scabilloni are anything to go by, then this player is poised to be a real nemesis on the volleyball court.

Well there it is.
