Going into the 2020 football season, LonghornsWire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas roster.
Over the summer, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Tom Herman this season.
Today, we will be looking at freshman center Jake Majors.
Jake Majors, Center
Height: 6-3 / Weight: 298
Class: Freshman
Hometown: Prosper, Texas
High School: Prosper
HS ranking (247Sports): Three-star / No. 15 position / No. 84 in-state
HS ranking (Rivals): Four-star / No. 155 overall / No. 5 position / No. 20 in-state
Analysis: Jake Majors was another huge in-state recruit Tom Herman pulled in the 2020 class. Playing tackle in high school, Majors has the capability to play anywhere across the offensive line. Center or guard is a likely option for the freshman.
The offensive line was not a huge focus in 2020 but Herb Hand still found a way to pull a top-five player at his position to Austin. Majors was the highest of four offensive linemen in the class.
Majors will not be inline to start this season, with Texas’ offensive line mostly returning from the 2019 season. Thanks to his size, the former four-star recruit is going to be able to play multiple positions in the future.
