Four-star Texas commit invited to play in 2021 All-American Bowl

Four-star Texas commit Billy Bowman has been invited to play in the 2021 Adidas All-American Bowl.

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.

 

Texas sends offer to 2021 four-star cornerback out of California

Texas recently jumped into the competition to recruit four-star cornerback Jaylin Davies out of California.

Although Alabama has been heavily recruiting four-star cornerback Jaylin Davies since last summer, the Longhorns have recently jumped into the competition.

According to 247Sports Composite, Davies is a four-star prospect who has received offers from Alabama, UCLA, Auburn, Arizona, and many others. The 6-0, 165-pound defensive back is the No. 11 overall player out of California in the 2021 recruiting class.

It appears Davies had a great talk with Texas’ new defensive coordinator Chris Ash. Davies is a physical, natural cover corner out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana that would likely compete for playing time immediately for the Longhorns.

He was part of the 2019 MaxPreps High School Junior All-American team and the California All-State Football Team presented by Suddenlink by Altice.
