Texas Recruiting: Longhorns lose out on top WR to USC

One of the top wide receivers in the state and Texas Longhorns’ target Quaydarius Davis commits to USC.

The Texas Longhorns had their eyes set on one of the top wide receivers in the state, Quaydarius Davis of Skyline (Dallas, TX). According to 247’s prospect page, Davis was rated the 17th wide receiver in the country and 17th rated player in the state according to their composite rankings. He was once committed to SMU but then changed his commitment to Texas on June 9, 2019. Only to then decommit from the Longhorns on November 11th of that same year.

Despite re-opening up his recruiting, some still felt that the Longhorns were in the running to land the state’s top receiver. However, Davis committed to the Southern California Trojans on May 1, 2020. A school that he had yet to even visit.

Ryan Young of Rivals’ USC website details how hard the Trojans were going after Davis. This could be taken as a shot at how lackadaisical the staff at Texas were in terms of targeting him to come to the Longhorns. This marks the second time in a calendar year that a receiver chose USC over Texas. Bru McCoy enrolled at Texas before transferring to USC, the school he was once committed to before eventually landing in Southern Cal.

 

Three 2021 Recruits to Look Out For

After another top 10 recruiting class in the 2020 cycle, all eyes are now focused on the 2021 class. Here are three recruits to look out for

After another top 10 recruiting class in the 2020 cycle, all eyes are now focused on the 2021 class. Already having seven commitments, the Longhorns are currently ranked fifth in the overall rankings. The best 2021 class to date in the Big 12, Oklahoma at No. 18 is the closest team in the conference to Texas.

This year, all but one of the Longhorns’ commitments were from the state of Texas. 2021 will be more of the same, as Texas continues to dominate in the state. Some of the best players according to 247Sports are instate and the Longhorns are already favorites to sign them. Not only competing with other Big 12 schools, but the SEC will also be competition for UT.

Here are three recruits from the 2021 class to look out for:

OT – Tommy Brockermeyer

Already listed as a five-star recruit, Brockermeyer is currently the fourth-ranked prospect in the 247Sports Composite. Coming out of All Saints Episcopal in Fort Worth, TX, he has a family history of playing football for Texas. His father Blake and brothers Luke and James all played in Austin, two as offensive lineman and one as a linebacker.

Listed at 6 feet 6.5 inches and 283 pounds, Brockermeyer has NFL caliber size. Having offers from every big-time college football program, it will be a heated battle for the Longhorns between some of the best schools in the country. With so much potential, he would be a huge pick up for Texas, making it the fourth year in a row a five-star prospect committed.

WR – Quaydarius Davis

The 6-foot wide receiver out of Skyline High School is one of 23 wide receivers that have been offered in the 2021 class. Davis is one of the best players in Texas, being ranked 13th in the state. Overall, he is a four-star recruit ranking inside of the top 100 at 73rd. If Davis were to commit, he would be the latest prospect to join the ‘Dallas to Austin’ movement.

Within the Big 12, the Longhorns will be competing with Kansas and Oklahoma State for his signature. SEC schools have also offered Davis, as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas A&M have all given him offers. If he were to come to Austin, Davis would be playing with a brand new quarterback, starting a new offensive era on the 40 acres.

S – JD Coffey

Beginning his varsity career as a freshman, Coffey has played and improved each season. While his interception numbers dropped from six to two in 2019, he had 30 more tackles and five more tackles for loss. A quick player with good hands for a defensive back, Coffey has the ability to be a ball-hawking defensive back for the Longhorns.

Ranked fourth at his position, the four-star prospect is currently 100% leaning towards Texas according to 247Sport’s Crystal Ball. Since Jan 2020, Coffey has received eight offers, including one from Big 12 rival Baylor. A prospect that is on the rise, if Texas can secure Coffey’s commitment early, he will continue to rise in the rankings.

Longhorns football loses yet another commitment

2021 4-star wide receiver Quaydarius Davis has decommitted from the Texas Longhorns

After two long weeks of losing commits and being demoted in the rankings, it seemed like Texas was back on track after upsetting 16th-ranked Kansas State.

But the bad news continues to pile on.

Over the past few weeks, the Longhorns have lost multiple 2020 football recruits as they decommitted from the program. Now, they will lose another prospect, this time from the 2021 class.

On Monday, 2021 4-star wide receiver Quaydarius Davis announced his decision to decommit from Texas. Davis was the first commitment for Texas’ 2021 class.

Davis first posted the news via Twitter.

With the loss of Davis, Texas now has seven commitments for 2021, five of which are 4-stars and two of which are 3-stars. The bad news for the Longhorns has to end sometime, right?
