A week after leaving the team to deal with "personal matters" and missing last weekend's scrimmage due to illness, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian, Texas Longhorns junior linebacker Ty'Anthony Smith is no longer with the program in news broken by Orangebloods on Friday evening.
Multiple other outlets confirmed the news.
In Anwar Richardson's report, there's a possibility that the 6'1, 214-pounder could return to the Forty Acres, but for now, the Longhorns will be without the key linebacker depth provided by Smith, who was practicing well before the illness that caused him to lose some weight.
A consensus four-star prospect ranked as the No. 350 player nationally and the No. 27 linebacker in the 247Sports Composite rankings, Smith was a late addition to the 2024 class for Texas after flipping from Texas A&M during the early signing period.
Primarily a contributor on three special teams units as a freshman, Smith appeared in all 16 games for the Longhorns, notching 16 tackles (eight solo), 1.5 tackles for loss, a half sack, and an interception in the blowout win over Florida.
