Texas Football: Longhorns targeting highly-touted DE in 2022 class

Texas recently offered an edge rusher out of Duncanville, Texas.

The Longhorns are jumping on the train early.

Head coach Tom Herman and Co. have sent an offer to a 2022 defensive end prospect out of Duncanville, Texas.

Omari Abor does not have a national prospect ranking yet, but he’s already received a dozen offers from highly respected programs. The 6-4, 240 pound edge rusher was named the District 8-6A Defensive Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore in 2019.

This is an important position of need in new defensive coordinator Chris Ash’s scheme. Herman has recruited a five-star defensive lineman in both the 2020 and 2021 class with Alfred Collins and Ja’Tavion Sanders.

By time the 2022 class is all said and done, Abor has the potential to keep the five-star trend coming to Austin if he chooses to commit to Texas.

Longhorns offer 2022 Weak Side Defensive End

UT has offered another player from Texas in the 2022 class. Malick Sylla is a weak side defensive end with offers from 13 other programs.

Tom Herman’s 2020 recruiting class was consistent with one thing and that was acquiring in-state talent. Of the 19 players that signed their letter on intent, 18 of them were from the state of Texas, with five-star running back Bijan Robinson being the one standout.

The Longhorns are trying to continue that trend in the 2021 and 2022 classes and have offered another player from Texas. Malick Sylla is a 2020 weakside defensive end from Katy High School, considered one of the best programs in the state.

Sylla is currently unranked by 247Sports but has offers from all over the country. Baylor and Oklahoma State from the Big 12 join Texas, while SEC schools Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M have also offered Sylla.

Listed at 6 feet 5 inches and 225 pounds, Sylla has the size to be a great defensive end. Just the second weakside defensive end offered in the 2022 class by the Longhorns, Sylla would be a great addition to Herman’s squad.

2022 Cornerback Narrows List To Eight

2022 North Shore cornerback Denver Harris has narrowed his school choice to eight, did the Texas Longhorns make the cut?

Back in August, The Texas Longhorns and the staff offered North Shore cornerback of the 2022 class Denver Harris a scholarship to continue his football career in Austin. The Longhorns in total have five offers on the table at the position of cornerback for 2022. Harris, who is one of them, has narrowed down his final eight schools.

If you pay attention to his twitter account, Harris has his Texas offer as his pinned tweet so that could either be in favor of the Longhorns or not mean anything at all. He will be a name to watch during the next season especially given that he will commit following his junior year.
