A look at the 2021 recruiting class with Dave Campbell’s rankings

We dove into the 2021 recruiting class with Dave Campbell’s recruiting rankings to see just how good the class looks.

The Texas Longhorns have had a busy recruiting cycle regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic putting some strain on their efforts. The 2020 class wrapped up with the edition of Jahdae Barron joining the class that ranked them eighth overall. The Longhorns finished that class with five players ranked in the top 25 of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football rankings.

  • No 6- JaQuinden Jackson | QB | Duncanville
  • No 8- Hudson Card | QB | Lake Travis (Austin, TX)
  • No 11- Vernon Broughton II | DE | Cypress Ridge (Houston, TX)
  • No 16- Alfred Collins | DE | Bastrop (Cedar Creek, TX)
  • No 25- Xavion Alford | DB | Shadow Creek (Pearland, TX)

The Longhorn were able to walk away with five of the top five recruits in the state according to the list by Campbell. They also added Troy Omeire (32), Jaylen Garth (34) and Logan Parr (37) to round out the top 40. Looking at the 2021 class, the Texas Longhorns already have commitments from the following players in the top 25 of this year’s rankings:

  • No 3- JaTavion Sanders | DE | Denton Ryan
  • No 15- Billy Bowman | ATH | Denton Ryan
  • No 20- Jalen Milroe | QB | Katy Tompkins
  • No 38- Hayden Connor | OT | Katy Taylor
  • No 39- Derrick Harris | OLB | New Caney

The 2021 recruiting cycles is far from done so this list should only grow with the team being in the mix for some of the best players in the state. In fact here is the list of top players in the rankings with offers from the Longhorns.

  • No 1- Tommy Brockermeyer | OT | All Saints (Fort Worth, TX)
  • No 7- Savion Byrd | OT | Duncanville
  • No 10- Clayton Smith | OLB | Texarkana
  • No 13- Shemar Turner | DE | DeSoto, TX
  • No 16- Ismael Ibraheem | CB | Kimball (Dallas, TX)
  • No 22- Garrett Nussmeier | QB | Flower Mound
  • No 37- JD Coffey | DB | Kennedale

With the level of talent on the radar for the Texas Longhorns and with a new staff doing the recruiting, there is a lot to be excited about. Especially when you consider the future of the program.

Jalen Milroe still 100% committed to the Longhorns

After hiring a new OC, recruiting is picking up for Texas. QB Jalen Milroe is “100% committed” and is “excited” to meet OC Mike Yurcich.

Experiencing a dip in recruiting after the firing of offensive coordinator Tim Beck and defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, Texas had a bad string of decommitments. Most of that was because it was not known who was going to be hired to those roles going forward for the Longhorns.

Now that they have hired Mike Yurcich as the offensive coordinator and Chris Ash as the defensive coordinator, recruits have started to reaffirm their commitment to Texas. First, it was 2021 athlete Billy Bowman, now it is 2021 quarterback Jalen Milroe.

According to Mike Roach of 247sports.com, Milroe is “100% committed to Texas,” and is “excited” to meet and talk to new OC Mike Yurcich.

Milroe had been approached and offered by Arkansas earlier this month, adding another team to his long list of offers. He is currently the second-highest-rated recruit in the Texas 2021 class, only trailing ATH Ja’Tavion Sanders.

Yurcich, Ash, and the Longhorns staff will continue to build a great 2021 class. Ranked third in the country right now, the Longhorns are looking at another top 10 recruiting class.

Arkansas making a push for 2021 Texas quarterback commit Milroe

Arkansas recently met with 2021 QB Jalen Milroe. Meeting with CB coach Sam Carter, Milroe was “impressed” with Arkansas after speaking.

According to Richard Davenport of WholeHogSports.com, Arkansas recently met with long-time Texas commit and 2021 four-star quarterback Jalen Milroe. Meeting with Hog’s cornerback coach Sam Carter, Milroe was “impressed” with Arkansas after speaking with him.

He was also informed that the Razorbacks would be offering him a scholarship, extending his list of offers. Recently hiring former Georgia offensive line coach Sam Pittman, the rebuild of Arkansas has already begun.

You can read the full story from the Arkansas perspective, here.

Milore had an incredible junior season at Thompson High School in Katy, TX, winning the District 19-6A MVP. Listed as a dual-threat quarterback on 247Sports, Milroe threw for 2,689 yards with 29 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while also rushing for 378 yards and eight touchdowns. Add in his 4.6 speed and he will be something special if he stays committed to the Longhorns.

Having offers from other big time schools like Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, and Oregon, Milroe is a wanted man. He has been a huge foundation piece for the Longhorns in building the 2021 class. Losing Milroe would be a huge loss for Texas and they must keep him committed.
