Not only is Mukuba an in-state prospect but the four-star is from the city of Austin. Defensive coordinator Chris Ash and cornerbacks coach Jay Valai have been the main recruiters for the Longhorns.
On the 247Sports composite, Mukuba squeaks inside the top 250 players, ranked No. 242. The safety ranks at No. 14 at his position, plus No. 43 within the state of Texas.
If Mukuba does commit to the Longhorns, he would be the fourth defensive back commit of the 2021 class. Ishmael Ibraheem headlines the position group, with J.D. Coffey and Jamier Johnson behind him. Mukuba would be the third highest-rated of the four.
