Former Texas safety Jerrin Thompson has decided to move to Alabama. Thompson announced Monday that he'll transfer to Auburn.

The Lufkin native spent the past four seasons as a safety in the Texas secondary. During his years with UT, Thompson started 31 times.

"Forever A LONGHORN .... Had to make a Stop by the JUNGLE," Thompson posted on Instagram.

Thompson becomes the second former Longhorn to transfer to Auburn this offseason. Defensive lineman Trill Carter also will join the Tigers.

Last season, the 6-foot, 191-pound Thompson recorded 38 tackles, a team-high seven pass breakups and a defensive touchdown for a Texas team that reached the College Football Playoff. Auburn fans will probably take note of the fact that one of Thompson's three interceptions was recorded at Alabama.

In all, 13 Longhorns have entered the transfer portal. Here's where 11 have landed:

∙ DB B.J. Allen Jr: North Texas

∙ DB X'avion Brice: North Texas

∙ WR Casey Cain: UNLV

∙ DL Trill Carter: Auburn

∙ DB Jalen Catalon, UNLV

∙ OL Sawyer Goram-Welch: Coastal Carolina

∙ QB Maalik Murphy: Duke

∙ WR Isaiah Neyor: Nebraska

∙ DB Jerrin Thompson: Auburn

∙ DB Larry Turner-Gooden: San Jose State

∙ QB Charles Wright: Appalachian State

Defensive back Kitan Crawford and edge rusher Kristopher Ross remain in the portal. Crawford took a visit to Nevada last weekend, according to an Inside Texas report. Former UT linebackers coach Jeff Choate is the new coach there.
