Texas offers 2023 four-star ATH Jelani McDonald out of Waco

Texas is eyeing on a potential flip of the Oklahoma State commit.

Steve Sarkisian and his staff have extended an offer to four-star athlete Jelani McDonald. The Waco product is one of the quickest rising prospects in the class of 2023.

Texas has some ground to make up in this recruitment as McDonald verbally committed to Oklahoma State back in July.

247Sports’ composite rankings list McDonald as the No. 15 athlete and a top 300 player nationally.

McDonald is a true do-it-all player on the football field. He plays in all three phases of the game for Waco Connally High School. McDonald is the primary quarterback, defensive back and even serves as the team’s main punter.

He is a multi-sport star who excels on both the basketball court and the track.

Texas hopes to add McDonald to the visitor list for its matchup against Iowa State on Oct. 15. The Longhorns are looking to flip the four-star from Big 12 Conference foe Oklahoma State.

The LaGrange Park, Ill., native has played the last few seasons on both sides of the ball as a receiver and cornerback for Nazareth Academy. Taylor is the No. 38-ranked player in the state of Illinois and the No. 144-ranked ATH in the country per 247Sports.

Texas is looking out west for a tight end in the class of 2023.

Four-star tight end Jackson Bowers out of Arizona announced he received a Texas offer on Tuesday afternoon. Texas star running back Bijan Robinson is an Arizona native as well.

Bowers has already released a list of his top seven schools including Alabama, Arizona, Auburn, BYU, Oregon and Washington. He has one crystal ball prediction entered in favor of BYU. Texas hopes to get into the mix with his top schools.

His 6-foot-5 frame and exceptional athleticism project Bowers as a red-zone threat at the next level.

Texas’ tight end room is in really good shape with a talented young core of Ja’Tavion Sanders, Gunnar Helm and Juan Davis led by Alabama transfer Jahleel Billingsley.

Texas offers four-star EDGE Desmond Umeozulu from Maryland

Desmond is the cousin of Texas offensive line signee Neto Umeozulu and top 2024 target Zina Umeozulu. 

Texas went to the east coast to offer 2023 four-star edge rusher Desmond Umeozulu on Monday afternoon.

That last name should sound familiar to Longhorn fans. Desmond is the cousin of Texas offensive line signee Neto Umeozulu and top 2024 target Zina Umeozulu.

247Sports composite ranks Desmond as the No. 4 player in the state of Maryland and a top 300 prospect nationally.

Colleges all over the country love his upside as a player. He has picked up over 33 offers from big name programs such as Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State and now Texas.

Umeozulu has a very projectable 6-foot-6, 230-pound frame that should play well at the next level. He helped lead C.H. Flowers High School to an impressive 11-2 season and a state semifinal appearance in his junior year.

Texas offers 2023 South Oak Cliff EDGE Billy Walton

Walton is gaining attention from some of the top programs in the state.

2023 edge rusher Billy Walton is one of the fastest-rising players in the state, and he’s had a busy last couple of months.

After helping South Oak Cliff win their first state championship in program history, Walton has received offers from the likes of TCU, SMU, Texas A&M and many others.

The three-star from South Oak Cliff picked up an offer from Texas on Thursday.

New Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice was Walton’s primary recruiter at Georiga Tech. That prior relationship should prove to be valuable in the Longhorns recruitment of Walton.

Walton had a monster junior season where he totaled 55 tackles, 21 TFLs and 12 sacks. His 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame projects well to be an effective pass rusher at the next level.

Expect to see many more offers roll in for Walton going into his senior season.
