Texas is on pace to have another top recruiting class in the nation.
Head coach Tom Herman finished the 2020 recruiting cycle in the No. 9 spot, but the 2021 class is expected to surpass those numbers. Part of that reason is due to four-star athlete Billy Bowman Jr. who verbally committed to the Longhorns in July of this past year.
According to 247Sports Composite, Bowman is currently rated the No. 3 athlete in the nation and the No. 49 overall player. Similar to what happened to five-star recruits such as Bijan Robinson and Alfred Collins in the 2020 class, Bowman still has the ability to increase his prospect grades if he performs well in one of the few invite-only all-star games.
Fortunately for Bowman, he was recently invited to participate in the 2021 Adidas All-American Bowl.

Although major recruiting sites list him as a wide receiver prospect, he is versatile due to his build and can play multiple spots in the secondary if needed.
At Denton High School, he is a three-sport athlete that recently led their football program to a 15-1 overall record and Texas 5A D-I state runner-up finish as a junior.
The 5-10, 175 pound do-it-all athlete could realistically become a five-star prospect by the end of his recruiting cycle.
