ESPN 300 recently released their final rankings of high school football players in the 2020 recruiting class.
Of these top players in the nation, the Texas Longhorns have signed four within the Top 100. Although ESPN has ranked several players lower than other major recruiting platforms, it’s nevertheless worth noting. For example, running back Bijan Robinson is labeled a five-star prospect by 247Sports composite, but ESPN has him sitting as a four-star athlete.

These are the highest-rated Longhorns who have earned a spot on the final rankings thus far.
No. 21 – Bijan Robinson, running back
No. 34 – Ja’Quinden Jackson, athlete
No. 40 – Hudson Card, quarterback
No. 80 – Vernon Broughton, defensive end
No. 107 – Kitan Crawford, athlete
No. 127 – Jake Majors, offensive lineman
No. 164 – Prince Dorbah, linebacker
No. 180 – Troy Omeire, wide receiver
No. 198 – Xavion Alford, safety
No. 214 – Jaylen Garth, offensive lineman
No. 218 – Logan Parr, offensive lineman

More players from this list could be added when National Signing Day arrives, as Texas has heavily targeted the No. 52 overall prospect Alfred Collins. Although Collins has not announced his official decision, all signs are pointing to the talented defensive end continuing his playing career with the Longhorns.
