Texas Football Recruiting: Four-star wide receiver puts Longhorns in top eight

Four-star wide receiver J.J. Henry has released his top eight, with UT making the cut. TCU is the only other Big 12 school to make the cut.

One thing Texas has been trying to add to its 2021 class has been another receiver. Specifically an in-state one. Three-stars Jaden Alexis and Casey Cain are the two wideouts in the class, but they are from Florida and Louisiana, respectively.

Four-star J.J. Henry out of McKinney, Texas, could be the answer for the Longhorns. During his junior season, Henry recorded 71 receptions for 1,419 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Texas has made the DFW area standout’s top eight list. TCU is the only other Big 12 school to make the cut, and in-state schools SMU and Texas A&M are still in contention.
