3-star Texas target decommits from Oklahoma State

A 3-star Texas Longhorns football target de-committed from Oklahoma State football

A recent Texas target just de-committed from Oklahoma State to reopen his recruitment, potentially opening the door for the Longhorns to add another three-star talent on the defensive line. Sawyer Goram-Welch made the announcement himself when he tweeted it on Saturday evening.

Goram-Welch is a 3-star defensive tackle out of Longview High School in Longview, Texas. 247Sports has him ranked as the No. 127 player out of Texas and the No. 77 DT in the nation. At 6’4” 248 lbs, he started at DT for a Longview team that finished 2015 undefeated and won the Texas Class 6A D-II state championship. He received offers from Texas, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, SMU, and others.

Here’s his official announcement:

After a rough season defensively, Texas is in need of all the help it can get from a depth standpoint. Adding Goram-Welch to an already solid 2020 recruiting class would be something to get Longhorns fans excited – which would be nice after that disappointment of a season.

Five star OT and top-three overall prospect Tommy Brockermeyer releases his top-5 schools – is Texas included?

The Texas Longhorns are in the running to secure the talents of a top-three overall player in the 2021 class

Texas has enjoyed good to great offensive line play in recent years. Center Zach Shackelford has been a stalwart presence in the middle of the line throughout his time as a Longhorn and was named first-team All-Big 12. Tackle Samuel Cosmi earned second-team All-Big 12 honors as well as a nomination for Banner Society’s Piesman award (say it out loud, it will make sense). Could Tommy Brockermeyer be the next elite lineman to come through Texas?

The five-star OT Brockermeyer is one of the highest-ranked players in the 2021 class. 247Sports has him ranked as the top overall player in Texas, the top offensive tackle in the country, and the third overall player in the nation. This resume has garnered interest from all the top programs in college football, but Brockermeyer has narrowed it down to only five: Texas, LSU, Clemson, Alabama, and Auburn.

What sets Texas apart from the other schools Brockermeyer’s connections to the Longhorns. If you thought the name sounded familiar, you were spot on. Tommy’s older brother Luke is a linebacker currently playing for Texas, and his dad, Blake Brockermeyer, was an elite tackle at Texas and had a successful career in the NFL.

Though Brockermeyer has narrowed his choices down to five schools, his Longhorn roots should have Texas fans feeling good. Brockermeyer is a top-end talent that Texas can build around, and we all hope to see him sporting the burnt orange on Saturdays.

Watch: Texas Longhorn commit Ja’Quinden Jackson pulls away for the 25-yard touchdown run

While the Texas Longhorns close out the season in a home bout against Big 12 rival Texas Tech, future Texas Longhorns are balling out in their own games. Texas commit Ja’Quinden Jackson takes the quarterback keeper 25 yards for the touchdown.

Jackson is a four-star dual-threat quarterback out of Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas. He is ranked as the No. 9 overall player in Texas and No. 66 overall player in the nation. Jackson committed to his home-state University of Texas after receiving offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and more. Jackson looks to step in after Sam Ehlinger graduates to continue the tradition of great dual-threat QBs at Texas.
