Texas players, former high school teammates pitch Bear Alexander to Austin

Georgia transfer DT Bear Alexander could potentially reunite with three high school teammates at Texas.

Transfer portal defensive tackle Bear Alexander has something in common with Texas tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, linebacker Anthony Hill and cornerback Austin Jordan. All four played high school football for the Denton Ryan Raiders. And while Alexander may have his eyes on USC, the Longhorns could have a strong pitch to come back home to Texas.

Sanders and Hill are considered two of the more transformative players on the Texas roster. Both took to social media on Saturday to let the public know they are aware that Alexander is on the move.

Hill, who co-starred with Bear along the Ryan defense, tweeted to the big time player to “come home.” It’s unclear how fond Alexander is of the football program in Austin, but he’s certainly familiar with the impact Hill and Sanders bring to a football team.

Texas will aim to play on the appeal of reuniting with the three high school teammates and Georgia transfer receiver AD Mitchell.

Georgia football offers lengthy TE Kendre Harrison

Big North Carolina tight end recruit Kendre Harrison visited the UGA spring game and ended up with a scholarship offer from the Bulldogs

The Georgia football spring game is always a big draw for fans and recruits. The 2023 edition of G-Day was no exception.

Unranked tight end recruit Kendre Harrison received a scholarship offer from Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley when he attended the Georgia spring game on April 15.

Harrison is a member of the class of 2026. He met former Georgia tight end Darnell Washington, who was celebrating winning back-to-back national championships, on his visit to Athens, Georgia.

It was a memorable day for Harrison, who plays high school football for Reidsville High School in Reidsville, North Carolina. The 6-foot-8, 230-pound recruit is primarily considered a tight end, but also plays defensive end. Could he be the next great tight end at Georgia?

Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley has done an elite job of recruiting the tight ends position. Hartley is one of the top recruiters in the country.

Harrison is also a talented basketball recruit. He has a scholarship offer from Texas A&M.

Report: Texas could be in the running for Georgia DT Bear Alexander

Some close to the Georgia program see Texas as a contender for transfer DT Bear Alexander.

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian might have a better roster than he anticipated in the spring.

Georgia Bulldogs starting defensive tackle Bear Alexander is in the transfer portal, and it appears Texas has a legitimate chance to win over the massive player.

According to Graham Coffey of Dawg Central, USC and Texas are worth watching in the recruitment. The last time the Longhorns were a team to watch for a Georgia player, they ended up reeling in AD Mitchell who starred in the Orange and White game on Saturday. Texas would greatly benefit from securing another starter commitment from the Georgia to Texas pipeline.

Alexander is the type of player that could alter the balance of power in college football. At the college level, impact defensive linemen separate the haves from the have nots. His addition would build or strengthen a College Football Playoff contender. For Texas, he potentially lifts the team into that category.

If Steve Sarkisian is looking to make an early trip to the playoff, Alexander might be his best bet to get there. We’ll monitor the recruitment closely moving forward.
