Texas’ offensive line recruiting is going to be the most important position throughout the 2022 class. After the disaster that was the 2021 cycle under Herb Hand, the Longhorns not only have to respond with quantity, but also quality.
In-state prospects such as Devon Campbell, Kelvin Banks, and Kam Dewberry remain the main focus. However, Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood have dipped out of the state for another top-rated guard.
Earnest Greene announced his top 10 schools on Wednesday afternoon and Texas made the cut. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas A&M, and USC were the other nine schools.
On the 247Sports composite, Greene is ranked as the No. 6 player in the state of California. Nationally, he is the No. 2 offensive guard and the No. 52 overall prospect. Only Campbell ranks higher at their respective position.

Greene was offered by Sarkisian and Flood on Feb. 15. He should rank as one of the top out-of-state players that Texas is going after.
