The Texas Longhorns were hoping to continue their momentum from the 2020 recruiting class into 2021. After securing the commitment of Alfred Collins, many thought maybe it might continue with another Texas defensive end product. Landon Jackson of Pleasant Grove was another one of those players who could help rebuild the Longhorns defense. The only problem is that Jackson chose another school over Texas.

The nation’s third ranked weakside defensive end will now play for the defending National Champions in Baton Rouge. This was a big blow to the Longhorns recruiting hopes. Jackson was viewed as a guy who could be the next great pass rusher to come out of Austin. Something they have been missing for quite some time. Hopefully with the current group that are committed to Texas, one of them are that guy.
