Blackshire had committed to the Texas Longhorns earlier this offseason
Former Alabama linebacker Kendrick Blackshire is expected to transfer to UTSA, per 247Sports Mike Roach.
The Duncanville, Tex. native was a 247Sports four-star recruit coming out of high school and was a three-star transfer target following his four seasons at Alabama where he appeared primarily on special teams, amassing 25 tackles, including a pair of tackles for a loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
However, after being expected to contend for a starting linebacker spot with the graduation of standout Texas linebacker Jaylan Ford, Blackshire was never able to fully find his footing in Austin and re-entered the transfer portal following Texas’ Orange-and-White spring game.Notably, Blackshire was listed on Texas’ roster at 261 pounds while standing 6-feet-2-inches – larger than the 233 pounds he was listed at during his final season with the Crimson Tide.
The addition continues a busy offseason for Jeff Traylor and the Roadrunners, who have added several transfers during the offseason.
