Suspended Texas WR Keithron Lee enters the NCAA transfer portal

Suspended Texas Longhorns wide receiver Keithron Lee entered the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

In June, Lee was suspended from all team activities by Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian following Lee’s arrest in Bryan on charges of assaulting a family member after he allegedly strangled his girlfriend:

According to a probable cause statement, an officer was dispatched to the Highland Villas Apartments where a juvenile claimed she had been assaulted by her boyfriend. The injuries sustained were consistent in a strangulation, according to police, and the juvenile had a bloody lip.

At one point during the altercation, the juvenile told police that she hid in a closet and Lee said, “I’ll give you something to cry about.” The report states then Lee “started to strangle her again.”

“We’re aware of the situation with Keithron Lee,” Sarkisian said in a statement released by the school. “We have talked with his family and he has been suspended from all team activities at this time as we continue to monitor the legal process.”

A 5’10, 175-pounder ranked as a consensus three-star prospect, Lee enrolled at Texas this summer after signing in February as a member of the 2021 recruiting class. A Bryan Rudder product, he committed to the Longhorns on Christmas Day over offers from 28 schools, including Baylor, Ole Miss, TCU, Tennessee, and Washington.
