As National Signing Day approaches on February 5, Texas is in great position to land a few of their top targets to finish out the 2020 recruiting class.
Currently ranked the No. 11 overall class in the nation, the Longhorns are hoping to still land several more prospects on Wednesday to bolster their defense.
Five-star defensive end Alfred Collins is undoubtedly the highest-rated target remaining for Texas, but four-star defensive end Princely Umanmielen and three-star cornerback Ennis Rakestraw would be significant additions.
While we’ve covered the remaining schools in the hunt to land Collins and Umanmielen, it appears Rakestraw has included Texas as one of his top remaining programs also.

The Duncanville, Texas native completed visits with Texas, Alabama, and Missouri in January. Rakestraw was named the 2019 Dallas Morning News Defensive Player of the Year, helped lead Duncanville High School to 15-1 records, state-runner up finishes as a junior and senior.
Alabama has been heavily recruiting the 6-0, 170-pound defensive back, but Texas’ late push to land Rakeshaw over the past month was enough to secure his final official visit before National Signing Day.
