Having Cole Hutson and Connor Robertson locked down on the interior offensive line is a good start for Kyle Flood. The two committed on the same day and have been important to Texas’ 2022 class already.
Offensive tackle, in particular, has been the position of concern. Some top targets have been missed on and the pool is drying up real quick. To make up for it, the Longhorns may have to keep going after the interior boys.
Earnest Greene may be the top IOL priority remaining on the board outside of Devon Campbell. The four-star out of California is one of the best prospects in the country and has shown interest in Texas.
He announced his official visit to Austin will take place on Oct. 16 for the Oklahoma State game. It will be his third OV, leaving two for later in the calendar.

Texas will have the chance to carry a ton of momentum heading into Greene’s visit. Oct. 9 is the date of the Red River Shootout against Oklahoma in Dallas. A win there will have the program buzzing on the recruiting front.
Show out as a coaching staff in person throughout the weekend and Greene will be heading back West with a lot to think about. Opportunities will be there for Sarkisian in the coming weeks.
On the 247Sports composite, Greene is the No. 2 interior offensive lineman and the No. 4 prospect from the state of California. On the national scale, the four-star ranks as the No. 61 overall player.
