Texas DT Sydir Mitchell makes pitch to 2025 four-star WR Quincy Porter

Four-star WR Quincy Porter, Sydir Mitchell’s former teammate, receives offer from Texas.

Texas football’s recruiting footprint has extended to New Jersey. Former Bergen Catholic High School defensive tackle Sydir Mitchell is looking to help the Longhorns land one of his former teammates.

Next up on the recruiting board for head coach Steve Sarkisian and company is four-star wide receiver Quincy Porter. The 2025 New Jersey talent shared that he had received an offer from Texas recently. It’s not the first big time offer for the dynamic player of late.

In recent weeks, Porter secured offers from Alabama, Florida State, Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Michigan among others. The 6-foot-3, 190 pound receiver has the game film to match his frame.

Porter would seem to be a huge potential get for Texas in the 2025 recruiting class. He ranks as the No. 6 athlete and No. 75 overall player in the 2025 On3 consensus.

Given Sarkisian’s recent openness to big-bodied receiver additions, there could be a place for the New Jersey receiver in the program’s future plans.

Where Texas commits fall in On3 Sports’ updated recruiting rankings

The Texas Longhorns have a strong 2023 recruiting class in the fold as of July 18.

The Texas Longhorns have a strong 2023 recruiting class in the fold as of July 18. On3 Sports’ recruiting analysts confirm that notion, listing Texas as the nation’s No. 5 overall class.

A few Texas targets fell high on On3’s updated recruiting rankings on Monday. Malik Muhammad, who makes his college decision on Wednesday, is ranked as the No. 30 overall player in the nation. Fellow Dallas-Fort Worth area player, Markis Deal, also enjoyed a high ranking at No. 58 overall. Other Texas targets and commits made the Top 100 as well.

Despite high rankings elsewhere, Texas commit Johntay Cook and high priority targets Anthony Hill and Javien Toviano surprisingly were not rated as highly by On3. Toviano checked in at No. 64 overall, while Anthony Hill ranked at No. 55.

While multiple players received four-star ratings, not every four-star made On3’s nationally ranked list. Here is a list of Texas commits that landed in On3 Sports’ updated top 300.

Aggies make Final Four for 2023 Defensive lineman, Sydir Mitchell

Texas A&M has officially been named to the “Final Four” for one of the top-ranked 2023 defensive line prospects in the country, Sydir Mitchell, with his final list including Georgia, Miami, Texas, and Texas A&M. Mitchell is going into his final season at Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey, with his sights set on choosing to play at one of the top programs in the country.

The Aggies have been heavily interested in Mitchell since last summer, offering him on July 11th, 2020, and after a productive junior season where he accumulated 40 tackles 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks on the season, the offers started stacking up.

Mitchell’s recruiting journey reached the finish line in mid-June, taking official visits to Georgia on May 20th, Texas A&M on June 3rd, Miami on June 10th, and Texas on June 17th, with the Longhorns having the most momentum as it currently stands.

In a brief scouting report from the National Recruiting Analyst for 247Sports,  Brian Dohn, Dohn describes Mitchell’s ability as a player:

Ideal size and length for defensive tackle. Works hands well and understands leverage. Possesses natural strength. Traits exist to be a run stopper in middle. Plays with low center of gravity. Strong and has natural power. Gets off well at line of scrimmage. Shows an ability to stack and shed. Manipulates torso to through gaps. Will benefit greatly as he matures and adds lower body strength. Saw varsity action at high-level North Jersey program.

With his announcement set for Sunday, July 3rd, at 6:30 PM Eastern, 5:30 PM Central, which will be broadcasted on CBS Sports HQ, Sydir Mitchell will go on to make one of the biggest decisions for both his football and academic future.
