Jalen Milroe still 100% committed to the Longhorns

After hiring a new OC, recruiting is picking up for Texas. QB Jalen Milroe is “100% committed” and is “excited” to meet OC Mike Yurcich.

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.

The No. 1 quarterback in the 2021 class has de-committed from the Sooners.

Brock Vandagriff, a five-star quarterback, and the No. 4 overall prospect in the 2021 class has announced that he will re-open his recruitment process after being committed to Oklahoma since June 20, 2019.

The 6-foot-3, 198-pound pro-style quarterback out of Bogart, Ga. (Prince Avenue Christian School) has offers from nearly every single power-5 school in the country.

Although a big blow to Oklahoma’s 2021 outlook and a pretty unexpected decision by a lot of fans, the Sooners are still in good shape. Lincoln Riley still has all of his cards in play when it comes to the 2021 class, including the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 5 overall prospect via Rivals, Caleb Williams (Gonzaga High School; Washington D.C.).

Williams is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound dual-threat and took a visit to Oklahoma on Sept. 28 when the Sooners beat Texas Tech 55-16. Per Rivals, Williams is favoring LSU and Georgia but with an opening at Oklahoma and Riley’s history with quarterbacks, Williams could reconsider.

Texas Longhorns Recruiting: Misses The Cut On 2021 Five-Star Defensive End

Tunmise Adeleye has narrowed his list to six schools in his recruitment and the Texas Longhorns didn’t make the cut.

The Texas Longhorns have just wrapped up their early signing period where they signed 17 new Longhorns to join the team. They are likely to be added a couple more names to the list with National Signing Day coming up in February. One player who has narrowed his list for the 2021 class won’t be considering Texas.

Five star defensive end Tunmise Adeleye of Katy, Texas tweeted out his list of six schools he is considering going into his senior season in 2020. Unfortunately for Longhorns’ faithful, Texas wasn’t on it.

Adeleye is however still considering joining the Oklahoma Sooners. He has recorded 100 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 11 sacks in two seasons.

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.
