The Texas Longhorns’ offense took a huge hit before the team’s bowl game against the Michigan Wolverines next week.

Quintrevion Wisner, the team’s leading rusher, plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens Jan. 2, his agent, Grayson Sheena, told multiple outlets. 

He led the Longhorns with 1,064 rushing yards and five touchdowns in 2024 and had 597 rushing yards in 2025 with three touchdowns.

He earned third-team All-SEC honors last season for his performance as the Longhorns made it to the College Football Playoff semifinals. The Longhorns struggled for the most part, starting the season No. 1 in the nation but falling to Ohio State right off the bat.

Wisner had only one game of more than 100 yards rushing, and it came at a key time. He ran for 155 yards in Texas’ regular-season finale against the Texas A&M Aggies. The Longhorns won the game, 27-17, and were hoping to have done enough to earn a College Football Playoff bid.

ATLANTA – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sounding the alarm on a salmonella outbreak linked to raw oysters that has impacted 22 states, including Texas.

What we know:

The CDC on Tuesday said they are investigating dozens of cases of salmonella where people reported eating raw oysters. The agency is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to determine the source of the oysters.

Sixty-four people have gotten sick, according to the CDC, with 20 people needing to be hospitalized. Two hospitalizations were in Texas. 

What we don’t know:

Officials said the actual number of sick people is likely much higher since many people recover without medical care or testing. The CDC said recent illnesses may not have been reported in the outbreak because it can take three to four weeks to determine if a sick person is part of the outbreak.

What are the symptoms of salmonella?

Most people who become infected with salmonella experience diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps and recover in about a week. More severe symptoms include diarrhea with a fever above 102 degrees Farenheit, vomiting to the point you cannot keep liquids down and dehydration. Those experiencing more severe symptoms should contact their healthcare provider.

How to prevent salmonella

What you can do:

The CDC suggests cooking oysters before eating to reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Public health officials said that using hot sauce or lemon juice on raw oysters does not make them safer as it does not kill germs.

A cold front moving into Texas late Sunday could bring snow to parts of the state early next week, following an unseasonably warm Christmas weekend.

Temperatures across much of Texas are expected to stay in the 70s and 80s through Sunday. But a shift in the weather pattern is forecast to send colder air south overnight into Monday, raising the possibility of light snowfall in the Panhandle and parts of West Texas.

“Late Sunday night into Monday morning, we’re expecting a change in the atmospheric weather pattern,” said Kenny Greening, meteorologist at the National Weather Service (NWS) in Midland. “Our confidence in snow falling isn’t that high, though it’s in the forecast because the models are definitely showing that it’s a possibility,” he told the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

Why It Matters

Snowfall in Texas is rare due to its geographic location and typically warmer climate. Much of the state lies far south of the jet stream, meaning Arctic air masses don’t frequently reach deep into the region. Most snowfall there occurs in mid- to late January, when average temperatures are at their lowest.

What To Know

The NWS says there is a low chance of snow in the Midland-Odessa area early Monday, with a 20 percent to 35 percent chance, depending on how moisture and cold air arrive and overlap. Temperatures are expected to drop sharply, with highs near 43 degrees and lows falling to around 28 by Monday night.

The shift begins Sunday evening, when temperatures fall from a high near 72 degrees to an overnight low around 34. Any snow would likely fall before sunrise Monday, followed by mostly cloudy skies for the rest of the day.

Other parts of Texas are predicted to see weather changes as well. In El Paso, there is a 30 percent chance of showers late Sunday night, with rain expected to continue into Monday. Cities in East and Southeast Texas, including Houston, Beaumont and San Antonio, could also see rain starting Sunday evening. Lows in those areas are expected to stay above freezing, but travel could be affected by wet roads.

In Laredo, winds are expected to pick up through the weekend, with breezy conditions likely to continue as the front moves through. While snowfall is not in the forecast for South Texas, residents across the Lone Star State are being advised to monitor conditions and prepare for colder weather early next week.

What People Are Saying

Greening, to the Midland Reporter-Telegram: “Our confidence in snow falling isn’t that high, though it’s in the forecast because the models are definitely showing that it’s a possibility.”

What Happens Next

The NWS will continue monitoring the storm system and refine the forecast as models develop.
