Flood Watch: Three-star OL Nate Kibble commits to Texas

In his first 2024 offensive line commit Nate Kibble, Kyle Flood finds an athletic 6-foot-5, 310-pound big human.

Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood has found another massive human to lead the charge up front. Atascocita interior offensive lineman Nate Kibble becomes the first Texas offensive line commitment of the 2024 recruiting class.

Kibble more than meets Kyle Flood’s offensive line specifications. The 6-foot-5 guard prospect weighs in at a college-ready 310 pounds. He continues Flood’s push for SEC-sized linemen starkly contrasting the past coaching regime.

The latest Longhorns commit is a huge surprise on multiple fronts. Like 2023 offensive line signee Payton Kirkland, Kibble was not seen as a strong Texas lean until the last few moments of his recruitment. In addition, Atascocita players often trend to Texas A&M. Kibble bucked that trend and chose A&M’s top rival.

The Atascocita lineman becomes the fifth Texas commit in a nine-day span. He joins Santana Wilson, Freddie Dubose, Christian Clark and Jerrick Gibson as high-profile players to choose the Longhorns during June visit season.

Texas will look to continue to fortify its 2024 offensive line class with more athletic giants like Kibble moving forward.
