Texas Longhorns Offer 2021 Four-Star Safety

The Texas Longhorns have made their fourth offer to a four-star safety of the 2021 recruiting class. Kaine Williams of Marrero, Louisiana.

The third-rated safety in the state of Louisiana, Kaine Williams has picked up an offer from the University of Texas. Williams becomes the fourth safety to be offered a scholarship from Texas and the highest rated of the four. Williams could come in and challenge for playing time immediately.

Williams is a ball-hawk that the Longhorns defense could definitely use to help out their defense. He can be dangerous after the change of possession as he looks to score and a very solid tackler as well. Most analysts are projecting him to Louisiana State but it would be a huge get for Tom Herman if they could sway the safety to patrol the secondary in Austin.

Texas Longhorns Offer 2021 Four-Star Running Back

The Texas Longhorns and head coach Tom Herman have offered 2021 four-star running back Donovan Edwards of West Bloomfield, Michigan.

During the Longhorns recruiting event in Austin on Saturday, they met with four-star running back Donovan Edwards of West Bloomfield, Michigan. Edwards is currently the number two ranked running back in the nation and the third-highest rated recruit in the state of Michigan.

The Longhorns have extended an offer to the highly touted back. The three schools highest on his list at this point are Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State according to his 247 profile. Edwards marks the sixth running back that Texas has extended an offer to. Phil Mafah is the only one who has committed elsewhere. The other five have yet to make a commitment.

It is hard to fathom that Edwards will go with Texas over his top three with Bijan Robinson (the nation’s top-rated 2020 back) on his way to the Forty Acres.

Texas Longhorns Having Busy Day Of Offers To Recruits

The Texas Longhorns and head coach Tom Herman were busy on Saturday as the Longhorns offered scholarships to five potential signees.

The Texas Longhorns staff had quite the day with recruiting. On top of their offer to 2022 cornerback Jay Guilbeau of Port Arthur, Texas the Longhorns handed out a few more offers to potential signees for future classes.

Coach Tom Herman and the staff handed out offers to the following players who made their announcements on Twitter.

  • Destyn Pazon, 2021 four-star wide receiver from Edna Karr in New Orleans, LA
  • Morice Blackwell, 2021 unrated linebacker from Martin in Arlington, TX
  • Elijah Arroyo, 2021 unrated tight end from Independence in Frisco, TX
  • Landen King, 2021 three-star tight end from Atascocita in Humble, TX
  • Martrell Harris Jr, 2020 unrated linebacker from The Woodlands, TX

The recruiting event on the Forty Acres seemed to be a hit among the prospective Longhorns who were able to attend. Texas is looking to build momentum towards another top 10 recruiting class and with a big day on Wednesday their 2020 class could also be in the top 10 for every year under Tom Herman.

WATCH: 2021 Texas commit scores touchdown in Texas state championhip

2021 WR Texas commit Ja’Tavion Sanders made a spectacular catch in the 5A state championship game. Sanders has been committed since Sept. 8.

It is state championship weekend for high school teams in the state of Texas. With all the games taking place at AT&T Stadium, big-time players have the opportunity to show off their skills in one of the best football stadiums in the world.

That is exactly what 2021 wide receiver Texas commit Ja’Tavion Sanders did, making a spectacular catch in the 5A Division 1 state championship game. Playing for Denton Ryan, the Raiders faced off against the Shadow Creek Sharks. Down 13 late in the fourth quarter, Sanders caught a touchdown in the corner of the end zone to cut the Shark lead to six.

Shadow Creek went on to win the game 28-22, but Sanders still had a huge season for Denton Ryan. Considered a two-way player, he also played on the defensive line this season. Listed at 6 feet 3.5 inches and weighing in at 220 pounds, Sanders has been committed to Texas since Sept. 8.

After a successful 2020 class, all eyes are turned to the 2021 class. Currently ranked third in the country, only trailing Notre Dame and Ohio State.
