Longhorns target Javion Hilson decommits from FSU

On Sunday, four-star defensive end Javion Hilson de-committed, with plans to make a final decision closer to the early signing period

For the second time in the last week, Florida State lost one of its top recruits in the 2025 class. On Sunday, four-star defensive end Javion Hilson de-committed, with plans to make a final decision closer to the early signing period in December. He had been committed to the Seminoles since Jan. 12.

ESPN ranks the Cocoa High School product as the No. 71 overall prospect in his class. Before choosing Florida State, Hilson took official visits to Florida, Texas, and UCF in the spring. While Hilson is expected to draw plenty of interest, the Longhorns seem to be at the top of his list. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound defender is expected to visit Austin in the coming weeks, according to Rivals John Garcia.

During his high school career, Hilson has been a human highlight reel. As a junior, he recorded 97 total tackles and 14 sacks while leading the Tigers to a second consecutive Class 2S title. Due to his play, Hilson is ranked as the 11th-ranked prospect from Florida in the 2025 class.

If the Longhorns can land Hilson, they would be adding another potential star to their defense. Over the weekend, Myron Charles joined Texas after he decommited from Florida State.

The Longhorns are building something special in Austin, and adding a player like Hilson would make an already top-ten recruiting class even better.

Texas Longhorns 2025 recruiting class gets a surprise addition

The four-star recruit committed to Florida State in June but decided to join the Longhorns.

On Saturday, the Longhorns’ 2025 recruiting class got a surprise boost with the addition of Myron Charles. The four-star recruit committed to Florida State in June but decided to join the Longhorns. He will now be part of a Texas defense full of talent and on the rise.

Charles, who plays for Port Charlotte High, is currently ranked as the 134th-best player in the nation by 247Sports Composite. He is also ranked as the 22nd-best player in Florida in his class. During his high school career, the talented defensive lineman has shown a talent for frustrating offenses.

Before choosing Florida State, Charles had drawn interest from some of the top programs in the country, including Georgia, LSU, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, and Tennessee. Although this is not how the Longhorns drew it up, they can now count on having Charles in the mix as they look to make a name for themselves in the SEC.

With the addition of Charles, Texas now has the No.6 recruiting class in the country. He is the second Florida-based player in the Longhorns 2025 class, joining five-star wideout Jaime Ffrench.

Although fans will have to wait a while for his college debut, excitement is building over what Charles will do in Texas. If he lives up to expectations, he has the potential to be a key piece on defense. An already promising future for the Longhorns has gotten even brighter.

Georgia football has made the cut for a four-star defensive line recruit

The Buckeyes are fighting for the defensive tackle’s commitment. #GoBucks

Although Ohio State football has 2025 commitments from two elite defensive ends, Zahir Mathis and London Merritt, it is still looking for a verbal in the middle.

One potential option is Florida’s, [autotag]Myron Charles[/autotag], who narrowed down his list of schools to six: Florida, Texas, Miami, Georgia, Florida State and the Buckeyes. At 6-foot, 5-inches and 285-pounds, he is a perfect fit to be the interior anchor of a defensive line.

Charles is ranked as the nations No. 123 overall prospect and 13th defensive lineman according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He currently has set official visits to all of his home state finalists, but has yet to do so for anyone else.

It will be hard to pull Charles away from the state of Florida, but Ohio State is trying to make it happen.
