Derion Gullette’s commitment has sparked tons of engagements on social media.
Texas remains hot on the recruiting trail. The Longhorns have added one of the state of Texas’ top defenders to its 2023 class.
Four-star EDGE Derion Gullette announced his commitment to Texas on Friday afternoon. Gullette chose the Horns over the likes of Texas A&M and Ohio State.
247Sports composite ranks Gullette as the No. 18 EDGE and the No. 148 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Gullette can do it all on the football field. As a linebacker he picked up 125 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks and five turnovers forced. He was just as dynamic on offense where he hauled in 62 passes for 1,430 yards and 14 scores as a wide receiver.
He excels as a three-sport athlete as he competes in both basketball and track outside of football.
Gullette’s commitment has sparked tons of engagements on social media. Here is a look at some of Twitter’s best reactions to Texas’ newest member of the 2023 class.

The in-state battle between Texas and Texas A&M continues to heat up.
The in-state battle between Texas and Texas A&M for five-star linebacker Anthony Hill continues to heat up. It appears the Aggies may be making a move for the Denton Ryan star.
Sam Spiegelman of On3 Sports entered a recruiting prediction for Hill in favor of Texas A&M on Friday.
Hill is set to take a visit to College Station to check out Jimbo Fisher’s program this weekend. He took an official visit to Texas on June 24.
The eventual winner of the Hill sweepstakes is getting a program changing prospect. The 247Sports composite has Hill as the No. 1 linebacker in the nation and the No. 2 overall player in the state of Texas.
He earned first-team all-state honors for Denton Ryan as a junior in 2021. Hill totaled 131 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, eight sacks and four turnovers forced.

Arch Manning is back on the Forty Acres.
The end of July marks a massive recruiting stretch for Steve Sarkisian and his Texas staff. The Longhorns are hosting some of the top prospects in the class of 2023 and 2024 for a BBQ recruiting event this weekend.
One of the most important visitors making the trip is five-star quarterback and Texas commit Arch Manning.
The No. 1 prospect in the country has served as a leader of Texas’ 2023 class since his commitment in June.
Manning’s name and talent holds lots of weight with other prospects. Playing with the top recruit in the nation is a major draw for Texas’ 2023 class. The Horns quickly landed 12 commits after Manning’s announcement.
Texas is working to keep its recruiting momentum rolling heading into the 2022 season. The Longhorns sit at No. 4 in the overall team class ranking and have the chance to compete for the top spot by February.

ESPN has updated its top 300 recruiting rankings for the 2023 cycle.
ESPN has updated its top 300 recruiting rankings for the 2023 cycle. A total of 11 Texas commits saw their ranking adjusted in the ESPN300.
Defensive back Derrick Williams and defensive lineman Sydir Mitchell took massive leaps up the list. Williams’ jump from No. 76 to No. 52 proved to be enough to make him a 247Sports composite five-star. Mitchell rose from No. 148 all the way to No. 83.
Quarterback commit Arch Manning lost his top spot in the ESPN300 as he fell to No. 2 on the list. The conscious five-star still ranks at the top of the other major publications prospect boards.
Wide receiver Johntay Cook and cornerback Mailk Muhammad remain inside the top 50, just outside of five-star status. The two will have the opportunity to make that jump with good senior campaigns.
Texas’ 2023 recruiting class currently sits at No. 4 in the nation and tops in the Big 12 conference. Here is a look at where each Longhorns commit is listed in the updated ESPN300.
One of the best players in the state of Washington is ready to make his college decision.

Four-star cornerback Jasiah Wagoner is set to commit on July 25. He will pick between his final four schools of Cal, Oregon, Oklahoma and Texas.
247Sports rates Wagoner as the No. 2 player in Washington and the No. 17 corner prospect in the 2023 class. He is just inside the top 300 in the overall composite rankings after recent updates.
Experts believe Oklahoma is the favorite to land the speedy defensive back. Three recent crystal ball projections have been entered in favor of the Sooners.
Both Texas and Oklahoma are riding a high trail of recruiting momentum during recent weeks. The Longhorns are up to No. 3 in the 247Sports team ranking while the Sooners have surged into the top 10.

One of the nation’s best offensive lineman in the class of 2023 is narrowing down his recruitment to five schools.
Four-star TJ Shanahan is down to Georgia, LSU, Texas, Texas A&M and USC.
The Austin Westlake product is one of the more college ready prospects at his position at the high school level. Shanahan is 6-foot-4, 310-pounds and shows serious athleticism for his size. He has anchored a Westlake offensive line to back-to-back state championship victories.
247Sports composite rankings list Shanahan as the No. 7 interior offensive lineman and the No. 143 overall player in the 2023 cycle.
Texas has the advantage of being close to home in Austin but experts believe Texas A&M holds the lead for the Westlake superstar. The Aggies have four crystal ball selections in following his June official visit to College Station.
