Welcome Back: Former Texas A&M TE Amari Niblack Commits to Texas Longhorns, Admits Leaving Was a Mistak

Austin, TX – The Texas Longhorns just got a major boost to their 2025 roster as tight end Amari Niblack has officially announced his return to the program. After a brief stint with the Texas A&M Aggies, Niblack is making it clear—leaving the Longhorns was a mistake, and he’s ready to make things right.

In a statement to reporters, Niblack didn’t hold back about his decision.

“I should have never left. The Longhorns are home. The culture, the fans, the brotherhood—there’s nothing like it. I made a mistake, but I’m back where I belong, and I’m ready to give everything I have to this team and this university.”

Niblack, a highly talented and athletic tight end, originally committed to Texas out of high school before transferring to Texas A&M in what many considered a surprising move. However, after one season with the Aggies, it became clear that the grass wasn’t greener on the other side. Now, he’s back in burnt orange, ready to contribute to a Longhorns team with championship aspirations.

A Huge Addition for Texas

Niblack’s return is massive for Texas, as head coach Steve Sarkisian continues to build an elite roster. His size, speed, and ability to make plays in the passing game make him a dangerous weapon for the Longhorns’ offense.

Sarkisian welcomed Niblack back with open arms, emphasizing that the team never stopped believing in his talent.

“Amari is an outstanding player and an even better person. He knows what it means to be a Longhorn, and we’re thrilled to have him back. He’s going to be a key piece of what we’re building here.”

The Fans React: ‘Once a Longhorn, Always a Longhorn’

Longhorn Nation wasted no time showing their excitement for Niblack’s return. Social media was flooded with welcome messages from fans who are eager to see him shine in Austin once again.

One fan wrote, “We all make mistakes, Amari. What matters is you’re back! Welcome home. Hook ‘em!”

Another added, “Texas is where you belong. Time to show the world what you can do in burnt orange!”

What’s Next for Niblack?

With spring football just around the corner, Niblack will have the opportunity to integrate back into the Longhorns’ system and build chemistry with the team. His return provides a major boost to an already dynamic offense, and expectations will be high for him to make an immediate impact.

For Niblack, it’s more than just football—it’s about redemption and proving that Texas is where he truly belongs.
