Kyle Flood has been on fire on the recruiting trail. Texas has five offensive linemen committed to its 2022 class with priority targets Devon Campbell and Malik Agbo still on the board.
Umeozulu marked the third offensive lineman Texas has landed since the “Pancake Factory” NIL deal was announced last week. Texas’ NIL benefits have provided a massive boost on the recruiting trail.
Sarkisian and his staff have all sorts of momentum ahead of the early signing period beginning on Wednesday.
Umeozulu’s surprise commitment provided a lot of social media hype among Texas recruits. View some of the best reactions here:
