Per ESPN's Pete Thamel, Livingstone is set to hit the transfer portal on Friday.
"Texas wide receiver Parker Livingstone intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he tells ESPN," Thamel posted on X. "Livingstone finished his redshirt freshman season with 516 yards receiving and six receiving touchdowns.
"He’ll have three years of eligibility remaining. He led Texas by averaging 17.8 yards per catch this season. He’s represented by @LIFTSPORTSMNGMT."
Livingstone recorded 29 receptions for 516 yards and six touchdowns this season. The native of Lucas, Texas, was the third-leading receiver on the Longhorns behind DeAndre Moore Jr. and Ryan Wingo.
The Longhorns have several offensive players set to enter the portal this month, including three of their top running backs: Quintrevion Wisner, Jerrick Gibson and CJ Baxter.
Texas is expected to be more competitive in 2026 than it was in Manning's first season as the starting quarterback.
Manning told reporters on Wednesday that he has higher aspirations for the postseason than the Citrus Bowl.
“I think (Peyton Manning) played it in twice," Arch said of the Citrus Bowl during his postgame news conference. "I don’t want to have to play it twice.”
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has seen plenty of turnover with his staff since the end of the regular season. The Longhorns hired Will Muschamp as their defensive coordinator for next season after firing Pete Kwiatkowski.
Texas' roster in the fall will look significantly different than the one that came into the 2025 campaign with a No. 1 ranking.
And Manning might have a new roommate in Austin.
