Former Texas receiver Parker Livingstone is crossing the Red River and will play on the other sideline at the Cotton Bowl in October.
Livingstone committed to Oklahoma via the transfer portal on Jan. 6, choosing his former school's archrival in a rare move. The 6-foot-4 receiver was Arch Manning's roommate.

Livingstone entered the transfer portal on Jan. 3, noting his decision to leave was "out of my control." He chose the Sooners over Indiana, taking visits to both schools.
"Never in a million years did I think I would be going into the portal looking for a new home," he wrote on social media. "Some things are out of my control. Such is the reality of the ever-changing landscape of college football."
The redshirt freshman in 2025 caught 29 passes for 516 yards with six touchdowns, ranking third in catches and yards for the Longhorns. He has three years of eligibility remaining and was tabbed as the No. 68 overall transfer and No. 16 receiver, according to 247Sports' Composite rankings.

Livingstone caught two passes for 29 yards in Texas' 23-6 win over Oklahoma this season. He caught a 32-yard touchdown against Ohio State in the season opener and caught a 54-yard touchdown pass against Arkansas earlier this season.
The Red River Rivalry might be personal for Livingstone in 2026.
