Five-star tight end Duce Robinson probably isn’t choosing the Longhorns. That doesn’t mean Steve Sarkisian and company should stop trying. It appears Texas signees haven’t given up on the talented pass catcher.
Texas’ most recent signee DeAndre Moore championed the burnt orange recruiting pitch on Thursday. Moore, like Johntay Cook and Ryan Niblett, has the ability to play right away. It appears the playmaker wouldn’t mind sacrificing opportunities to share the football with the nation’s best tight end recruit.
Robinson would undoubtedly thrive at Texas opposite a complete tight end like Ja’Tavion Sanders. With Sanders, Xavier Worthy, Isaiah Neyor and Jordan Whittington potentially returning, the Longhorns should have no problem getting its elite receivers open. Brenen Thompson and Savion Red could have a role in the offense as well.
Georgia currently trends to land a commitment from the matchup nightmare at tight end. That said, with Bijan Robinson departing for the NFL, Texas figures to be more pass-centric offensively with a better scheme than the Bulldogs.
Duce Robinson’s recruitment might be a long shot, but the Longhorns can still aim for a cherry on top of their loaded recruiting class.
