Parker Livingstone was among the more popular players for the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 college football season as their wide receiver.
The star WR joined the Longhorns as a 3-star recruit in the class of 2024 and chose Texas over Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas A&M and made appearances in four games in his first year with the program.
His second year proved to be a lot better for him as he secured 29 catches for 516 yards and scored six touchdowns.
After spending two years with the program, Livingstone bid farewell to the Longhorns and announced his decision to enter the transfer portal, however, his reasoning being one “out of his control” caught the fans attention:
“What is exactly out of your control? I don’t understand the coy comments. How about being transparent to void the ridiculous comments and speculation? Horns up since you are so proud to play for this university,” one fan reacted.
“Unless Sark came to you and asked you to leave (which I doubt), you had some control over the matter. Why not stay and continue to grind? Gunner Helm comes to mind as an example. Having said that, I do wish you all the best young man,” another fan said.
“So basically, Sark fucked him over. Makes sense”, another fan predicted.
“What in the world does that mean? Out of your control? Sounds fishy to me. Whatever!!!,” another fan commented.
“Playing the victim here when the money wasn’t enough. Well at least you’ll be able to take your victim card and go to your childhood dream of playing for the Sooners. Legacy matters and yours is gone with this Longhorn. Best of luck to you when not playing Texas,” another fan shared their thoughts.
“Bro got offered 6 figures an said no an crying about how college football is now Lmao fuck outta here bro,” another fan added.
A Texas Insider also shared that Livingstone was reportedly offered a six-figure deal, which was turned down.
