Texas’ defensive line pursuit continues out of state to a player who is currently committed to Florida State.
Four-star defensive end Nyjalik Kelly was extended an offer by defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski on Tuesday. Despite committing to the Seminoles in August, Kelly has received recent offers from LSU, Oregon, and South Carolina.
Kelly had a monster junior year, recording 35 tackles (21 of which were for a loss), 13 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
