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.

Currently unranked on 247Sports, Allen is starting to rack up offers from a few Big 12 schools. Baylor, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State have given offers to him, while non-Power 5 schools Houston and Illinois State have also reached out.

Allen had an outstanding sophomore season, totaling 112 tackles. When he was not bringing down offensive players, Allen was forcing turnovers. Having three interceptions of the season, he also forced two fumbles. If he was not forcing them, he was recovering fumbles, having three recoveries, two for touchdowns.

Playing for one of the best high school teams in the state with Aledo, Allen will continue to get looks as the 2022 recruiting rankings start to pour in.

Texas offers top 2022 player from Kansas

Texas has offered four-star ATH Dasan McCullough. Ranked a four-star prospect, he is the top-rated player in the class to come out of Kansas.

The Longhorns have offered 2022 athlete Dasan McCullough out of Leawood, Kansas. Ranked a four-star prospect by 247Sports, he is the top-rated player in the class to come out of the state of Kansas. Coming in at 6 feet 4 inches and 205 pounds, McCullough’s main position at Blue Valley North High School is safety.

If McCullough were to sign with the Longhorns, he would be the highest-rated recruit from the state of Kansas to ever play at Texas. Linebacker Gary Johnson who played two seasons in 2017 and 2018 was recruited from Dodge City Community College in Kansas but was originally from Birmingham, AL.

Kansas and Oklahoma are the only other two Big 12 schools to offer McCullough. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and LSU from the SEC have also reached out, while other big-time programs like Florida State, Michigan, and Oregon have also offered him.

Over the next two recruiting cycles, the Longhorns have already offered six other safeties. If McCullough were to stay at the position, he would just add to the possible depth for Texas.

Big 12 Baseball Tournament Moving Location in 2022

Since 1997, the Big 12 baseball tournament has been hosted in OKC in all but three years. Beginning in 2022, it will be at Globe Life Field.

Since the creation of the Big 12 baseball tournament in 1997, it has been hosted in Oklahoma City in all but three years. While it will remain that way until 2021, beginning in the 2022 season, it will be in a new location.

It will now be held in the brand new Globe Life Field, the future home of the Texas Rangers. The ballpark is not officially open, as the first games will be held in late March for the Rangers.

This is not the first time the tournament has been held in Arlington, as the 2002 and 2004 tournament was also held in what was then The Ballpark in Arlington. The Longhorns won the tournament in 2002, winning three games in a row after losing their opener against Texas A&M. Outfielder Dustin Majewski was the tournament MVP for Texas.

The last time it was held outside of Oklahoma City was in 2015 when it was moved to Tulsa. The Longhorns also won the tournament that year, making them champions of two out of the three Big 12 tournaments held outside of Oklahoma City.

Hopefully, that tradition continues as it will be held in the Dallas Fort Worth Area for the foreseeable future, beginning in 2022.
