Former Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow has committed to Texas via the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3’s Pete Nakos confirmed on Thursday. Snow will be a seventh-year senior in the 2026 campaign.

Snow made 12 appearances and three starts for Michigan State last season. He tallied 34 tackles, three tackles for loss and a sack.

Snow’s best campaign of his career thus far was in 2021, when he notched a career-high 81 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. It’s worth noting that Snow played nickelback during the 2021 season and switched to linebacker in 2022.

In total, Snow amassed 48 appearances in his six seasons at Michigan State. He logged 161 tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss.

Darius Snow played high school football at Hebron (TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 414 overall player and No. 31 safety in the 2020 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.

Snow is the 21st transfer who has committed to Texas this offseason. The Longhorns are reloading on talent after falling short of the College Football Playoff last season. Most notably, Texas reeled in transfer commitments from wide receiver Cam Coleman and linebacker Rasheem Biles.
