After months of work to achieve the required ACT test score he needed to arrive at Texas, Devonaire Clarington and the Longhorns have decided to part ways, according to a source close to the situation.

Clarington, a four-star prospect from Miami, signed his National Letter of Intent with the Longhorns on Feb. 4 but could not enroll initially because of issues with his transcript. Clarington, who attended four different high schools, had a difficult transcript to sort through and it took a few months for the NCAA Eligibility Center to approve it.

Cleared late in the summer near the start of Texas' fall camp, Clarington appeared on the verge of arriving at Texas for the start of the 2015 season. But soon after Texas and the NCAA raised an issue with Clarington's ACT test score, forcing Clarington to retake the exam in order to qualify.

Clarington had worked to earn the test score since August. He came close in a recent attempt in November and planned to take a high school core requirement in order to boost his overall GPA to an acceptable level to pair with his latest exam score, but it appears the Longhorns were ready to move on.

A member of Texas' famed "Florida Five" during the 2015 cycle, Clarington is now the fourth member of that group to not play a snap for the Longhorns. Defensive end Tim Irvin flipped his commitment to Auburn late in recruiting process, wide receiver Gilbert Johnson signed his letter of intent but never reached the school and linebacker Cecil Cherry transferred out of the program a few weeks into fall camp. Cornerback Davanate Davis, who starts at corner, is the only member of the group on the Forty Acres.

Clarington was ranked as the No. 203 overall player and the No. 7 tight end in the country in the 2015 class.
