Experiencing a dip in recruiting after the firing of offensive coordinator Tim Beck and defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, Texas had a bad string of decommitments. Most of that was because it was not known who was going to be hired to those roles going forward for the Longhorns.
Now that they have hired Mike Yurcich as the offensive coordinator and Chris Ash as the defensive coordinator, recruits have started to reaffirm their commitment to Texas. First, it was 2021 athlete Billy Bowman, now it is 2021 quarterback Jalen Milroe.
According to Mike Roach of 247sports.com, Milroe is “100% committed to Texas,” and is “excited” to meet and talk to new OC Mike Yurcich.

Milroe had been approached and offered by Arkansas earlier this month, adding another team to his long list of offers. He is currently the second-highest-rated recruit in the Texas 2021 class, only trailing ATH Ja’Tavion Sanders.
Yurcich, Ash, and the Longhorns staff will continue to build a great 2021 class. Ranked third in the country right now, the Longhorns are looking at another top 10 recruiting class.
