BOOM: Texas lands commitment from three-star LB S’Maje Burrell

Texas picks up its third commitment in the class of 2023.

Texas added a key piece to its 2023 recruiting class on Saturday with the commitment of three-star linebacker S’Maje Burrell.

The Longhorns have gotten a jump on the defensive side of the ball in the 2023 cycle. Burrell joins defensive back Jamel Johnson and defensive lineman Dylan Spencer as the only members of Texas’ 2023 class thus far.

Burrell had a fantastic junior season, totaling over 100 tackles with 13 tackles for loss along with five forced fumbles. He has a knack for being around the football and brings strong playmaking ability at a position of need.

The North Crowley product has racked up an impressive offer list including many big-name programs such as Texas, Ohio State, Oklahoma and USC.

Texas may not be done making some noise this weekend as the Horns are hosting many elite prospects for visits.
