Overview
- On3’s Hayes Fawcett reports that Hollywood Smothers, who committed to Alabama on Jan. 5, has switched his pledge to Texas.
- The redshirt sophomore logged 939 rushing yards and six touchdowns with 37 receptions for 189 yards in 11 games for NC State in 2025.
- On3 ranks Smothers No. 27 overall in the transfer portal and the No. 2 running back available this cycle.
- His move would align with Texas adding former Arizona State back Raleek Brown and incoming recruit Derrek Cooper after Tre Wisner and CJ Baxter entered the portal.
- The reported flip followed an official visit to Austin and arrives during a portal entry window that remains open through Friday.
