Texas has been targeting four-star athlete Mikal Harrison-Pilot for quite some time now.
The Temple native is rated the No. 12 athlete in the country and No. 30 overall prospect in the state of Texas, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
Harrison-Pilot released a top five schools list of Cal, Houston, Oklahoma, TCU and Texas back in May. At one point the Longhorns appeared to be the leader in his recruitment, but as of this week the Horned Frogs are emerging as the favorite to land him.
247Sports Director of Football Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, entered a crystal ball prediction in favor of TCU on Monday.
