Texas Football Recruiting: Four-star OLB Derrick Brown announces top two schools

Baylor or UT will be the choice for four-star edge Derrick Brown. Both Big 12 schools have gotten weekend OVs over the course of June.

The race for one of the most underrated prospects in the country is expected to come to an end on July 20. Derrick Brown is going to make his commitment and is down to his final two schools.

Baylor or Texas will be the choice for the four-star edge prospect. Both have gotten official visits over the course of June. Brown finished up in Waco over the weekend, while his first visit of the summer was in Austin.

Brown released a top eight list back on June 8. Arizona State, Florida State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, TCU, and Texas Tech are no longer in the race.

When looking at the composite, Brown is not the highest-rated. He is the No. 300 player in the country and No. 46 within the state of Texas. Make no mistake, Brown will end up being one of the best prospects of either Baylor or Texas’ class.

Pete Kwiatkowski could fit him right into the jack position, rushing the passer as often as possible. Brown finished with 20 tackles for a loss and six sacks during his junior season at Texas High in Texarkana.

With a decision coming towards the end of July, the coaching staff maintaining the relationship will be important. A post-visit high could give Baylor a short-term lead, but Texas should be considered the favorites heading into the commitment date.

Four-star WR Jordan Hudson announces top three schools, commitment date

Jordan Hudson cleared up who was remaining in his recruitment. As expected, SMU and Texas were included, but the wildcard is Alabama.

Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma recently lost a commitment from one of the top receivers in the country. Jordan Hudson was loyal to the Sooners’ soil for nearly 11 months before reopening his recruitment.

SMU and Texas quickly emerged as leaders for the four-star wide receiver. Both have gotten visits from Hudson, the Mustangs as an official, the Longhorns unofficially. 247Sports crystal ball predictions have flooded in for the hometown Dallas school as well.

On Saturday, Hudson cleared up who was remaining in his recruitment with a top-three school list. As expected, SMU and Texas were included, but the wildcard is Alabama. Yes, you can stop us if you have heard this one before. Nick Saban is going after the top prospects from the state of Texas.

Hudson simultaneously announced July 4 would be his commitment date.

If Texas is able to pull off the recruiting victory, flipping a prospect from across the Red River would be an incredible achievement. Rarely do recruits flip flop between the rivals. Hudson could be the second one within two cycles.

July 4 has the potential to be a massive day for the Longhorns. Four-star safety Bryce Anderson is possibly announcing his commitment as well. Texas A&M is the key opponent there.

Two wins over your main rivals in the recruiting field would be massive for Steve Sarkisian.

On the 247Sports composite, Hudson is the No. 113 player and No. 12 wide receiver in the country. Within the state of Texas, he cracks the top 25 at No. 23.

Three-star running back DeAnthony Gatson announces commitment date

After making three official visits, DeAnthony Gatson is going to make a decision. He announced he will be committing on Tuesday, June 22.

Recruiting momentum is at an all-time high early on during the Steve Sarkisian era. Top players from across the country pilgrimaged to Austin, headlined by the first junior day since 2019.

Last Saturday began the festivities, with a decent amount of ’22 prospects made their first official visits. Three-star DeAnthony Gatson was one of them, spending two days around the Texas football program.

The Newton native headed out west to Los Angeles this weekend, to see USC while Colorado is still on the calendar. The three schools are a part of Gatson’s top five, with Iowa State and Minnesota looking from the outside in.

After making three official visits, Gatson is going to make a decision. He announced he will be committing on Tuesday, June 22.

Colorado, Texas, and USC seem to be the leaders here. For the Longhorns, Gatson is expected to play running back. Despite still having a commitment from Jaydon Blue, Stan Drayton has focused on getting another back for the class.

Considering Iowa State will not receive a visit prior to the commitment, Matt Campbell could be out. As for Minnesota, the Gophers took another running back from Texas in Zach Evans this past week.

Kirby Smart has rejuvenated Georgia’s offensive front. Georgia is physical in the trenches on both sides of the ball and that will continue for years to come.

Amarius Mims and high school offensive line recruits have to be impressed with UGA’s offensive line in recent years. Two Georgia Bulldog offensive linemen (Isaiah Wilson and Andrew Thomas) were picked in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Not only is Mukuba an in-state prospect but the four-star is from the city of Austin. Defensive coordinator Chris Ash and cornerbacks coach Jay Valai have been the main recruiters for the Longhorns.

On the 247Sports composite, Mukuba squeaks inside the top 250 players, ranked No. 242. The safety ranks at No. 14 at his position, plus No. 43 within the state of Texas.

If Mukuba does commit to the Longhorns, he would be the fourth defensive back commit of the 2021 class. Ishmael Ibraheem headlines the position group, with J.D. Coffey and Jamier Johnson behind him. Mukuba would be the third highest-rated of the four.

On the 247Sport crystal ball, Clemson, Texas, and Oklahoma all have predictions. The Longhorns lead the way at 71% with a confidence level of five.
