Texas Recruiting: Longhorns lose out on top WR to USC

One of the top wide receivers in the state and Texas Longhorns’ target Quaydarius Davis commits to USC.

The Texas Longhorns had their eyes set on one of the top wide receivers in the state, Quaydarius Davis of Skyline (Dallas, TX). According to 247’s prospect page, Davis was rated the 17th wide receiver in the country and 17th rated player in the state according to their composite rankings. He was once committed to SMU but then changed his commitment to Texas on June 9, 2019. Only to then decommit from the Longhorns on November 11th of that same year.

Despite re-opening up his recruiting, some still felt that the Longhorns were in the running to land the state’s top receiver. However, Davis committed to the Southern California Trojans on May 1, 2020. A school that he had yet to even visit.

Ryan Young of Rivals’ USC website details how hard the Trojans were going after Davis. This could be taken as a shot at how lackadaisical the staff at Texas were in terms of targeting him to come to the Longhorns. This marks the second time in a calendar year that a receiver chose USC over Texas. Bru McCoy enrolled at Texas before transferring to USC, the school he was once committed to before eventually landing in Southern Cal.
