Early Signing Period Tracker – Follow big day for Texas Longhorns recruiting

Texas Longhorns look to sign a Top 5 recruiting class as the Early National Signing Period opens. Follow latest signing of official LOI’s.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

All of the LOI’s are in. All prospects that were committed to Texas before the Early National Signing Period opened today have sent in their letters of intent and are now Texas Longhorns. 

One prospect that wasn’t committed, but signed today, is 4-star ATH Michael Terry III. The Alamo Heights prospect is the reigning District 13-5A MVP. Terry has received snaps at wide receiver, running back, and on special teams. Terry picked the Longhorns over Texas A&M, Oregon, and Nebraska.

The Longhorns class is headlined by two 5-stars — LB Jonah Williams and WR Jaime Ffrench. Williams is out of Galveston and is the No. 1 linebacker in the country, according to Rivals.com. Ffrench is a former Alabama Crimson Tide commit. The Jacksonville, Florida, resident was a big national recruiting win for Texas. Ffrench entered his senior year with over 100 catches for almost 2,000 yards.

UT signed one QB in this class, 4-star KJ Lacey. Measuring 6 feet and 175 pounds, Lacey lacks ideal size. But scouts love his deep ball and changing arm angles. As a junior, Lacey threw for 3,000 yards and 42 touchdowns.

The primary remaining target is reportedly 5-star DT Justus Terry from Georgia.
