2021 four-star CB Deuce Harmon picks Texas A&M over Texas

Texas has lost an in-state battle to Texas A&M for Deuce Harmon. Coming out of Denton Guyer, Harmon picked the Aggies over six schools.

A couple of days after picking up a new crystal ball prediction for 2021 cornerback Ishmael Ibraheem, Texas has a lost an in-state recruiting battle to Texas A&M for another cornerback, Deuce Harmon. Coming out of Denton Guyer, Harmon picked the Aggies over Notre Dame, Oregon, SMU, Texas, TCU, and USC.

Back on April 6, Harmon released a top 10 list which did not include the Longhorns. Despite being one of the best in-state cornerbacks, Texas had not extended an offer. Three days later on April 9, Chris Ash offered Harmon. Despite the offer and making his top seven list, it was too little too late, as Texas A&M had been recruiting Harmon consistently throughout the year.

Harmon left his recruitment open though, saying he would “still plan on taking visits,” when everything reopens in the fall. Texas could have the opportunity to flip the Texas A&M commit, something that has only happened twice since 2010.

Listed at 5-9 and 185 pounds, what Harmon lacks in size, he makes up for with athleticism. Seen as a good defender in man to man situations, he would fit ideally into Ash’s new system.

For now, Harmon is committed to the Aggies and will be spending his college years in College Station. The door is still open for the Longhorns though, as spending more time with the cornerback could see him make an unusual flip to Texas.

Sam Ehlinger Watches His High School Win the State Championship

Last night was the 6A D2 state championship where Austin Westlake took on Denton Guyer. Sam Ehlinger was on the sidelines for the game.

Last night was the 6A Division 2 state championship where Austin Westlake took on Denton Guyer. Taking place at AT&T Stadium, Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger was on the sidelines for the game, cheering on his former school.

Getting as far as the state championship game in 2015, Ehlinger was never able to lead the Chaparrals to a championship. He lost to the 2015 game 21-14 in overtime and lost in the quarterfinals his senior season.

The Chaparrals dominated the entire game, winning 24-0. It was only the second state championship in the school’s history, with the first coming in 1994 when Drew Brees was in charge. Ehlinger was there to congratulate his former head coach after the victory. After the game, Todd Dodge announced he would return to Westlake next season, taking his name out of consideration for any other jobs.

Ehlinger’s focus will now turn to the bowl game on New Year’s Eve. The Longhorns will face off against Utah in the Alamo Bowl at 6:30 p.m. CST on ESPN.
