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.
