Just a couple hours after Decoldest Crawford announced that he was decommitting from LSU, the four-star receiver with a five-star name started working on setting up a visit to Texas.
The Shreveport, Louisiana native was immediately contacted by Texas wide receiver coach Andre Coleman after he announced via Twitter that he decided to re-open his recruitment. A decision that came after being committed to LSU for two years.
After Careful Consideration and long talks with family , I would like to reopen my recruitment,and De-commit from LSU. Thanks !! 💪🏾

The potential Texas visit was first reported by Inside Texas, where they also explained that a major reason Crawford decided to decommit was due to the fact that LSU receiver coach Mickey Jospeh has left the program for a job at Nebraska.

Crawford has been a very productive receiver in his time at Green Oaks High School, where he racked up a career 119 catches, 2,013 yards, and 17 touchdowns. The Longhorns are in the market for receiver help outside of Xavier Worthy, who has been nothing but a star the entire season even with struggles at the quarterback position.
As it currently stands, Texas has yet to offer Crawford, but he had been committed to LSU the entirety of the Steve Sarkisian era.
There also seems be to a possibility that he follows Joseph to Nebraska, as they offered him almost immediately after he decommitted.
The Longhorns are in dire need of depth at the receiver position, and Crawford seems to look like a very nice depth piece that could carve a role out for himself down the line.
