Four-star WR Armani Winfield decommits from Texas

Texas’ 2022 recruiting class takes another hit.

While the Longhorns added to their lead over Kansas State in the fourth quarter, four-star wide receiver Armani Winfield announced via Twitter he is backing off his Texas commitment.

The Lewisville High School product became the first commitment of the Steve Sarkisian era when he committed to the Horns during the national championship in Jan.

Winfield is ranked as the No. 25 wide receiver in the country and No. 32 overall prospect in the state of Texas for the 2022 cycle, according to 247Sports composite.

 

 

This marks the second major loss from Texas’ 2022 recruiting class in the past week. Four-star running back Jamarion Miller flipped from Texas to Alabama on Thursday.

The loss of Winfield leaves Brenen Thompson as the lone wide receiver committed in the 2022 class. With the lack of much receiving threat outside of Xavier Worthy, Texas needs all the bodies they can get.

Texas has made another offer to a 2022 wide receiver in Tyler Morris. A four-star prospect out of La Grange Park, Illinois, the Longhorns are getting into what seems to be a Big Ten recruiting battle.

As things stand, Michigan leads the way on the 247Sport crystal ball. Two predictions with a confidence level of seven have been inserted for the Wolverines.

Texas is not an unfamiliar foe to taking receivers away fro Michigan, with Tarik Black transferring to Austin this offseason. Now, he is expected to be the main outside receiver for Sam Ehlinger this season.

With top-rated quarterback Quinn Ewers locked into the 2022 class, Texas is going after the top receivers in the country. Four-star Phaizon Wilson has already committed. The Longhorns have offered 16 other blue-chip wide receivers, with Morris being the latest one.
