It’s no secret that the offensive line is one of, if not the biggest need for Texas in the 2022 recruiting class. Forget how bad of a job Herb Hand did last cycle, simply put: there is too much in-state talent for the Longhorns to not prioritize the position group.
Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell have been the two biggest targets. Both are ranked five-star prospects and Kyle Flood has positioned himself to be able to land both. Cole Hutson, Conner Robertson, and Cam Williams have also been getting a ton of attention.
In all of the hype, one elite offensive tackle has flown under the radar. Four-star Kam Dewberry still is a top target for Texas, despite not a ton of recent news about the two sides.
Dewberry decided to make a visit to Austin this weekend, checking in late Friday night. He will be on an unofficial visit, possibly saving his official one for football season.

Dewberry currently sports a top five of Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M. LSU could also be in the mix, receiving an official visit on June 4.
Trips to College Station and Columbus are on the docket for upcoming weeks. From there, two more official visits will be up for grabs. Texas will have to fight off the Red River rivals and Nick Saban. No easy task.
On the 247Sports composite, Dewberry ranks as the No. 10 offensive tackle in the country. The Atascoocia native is No. 19 within the state of Texas and No. 102 in the country.
Even if there has not been a ton of flirting between Dewberry and Texas, he remains an important offensive line target.
