Texas lands commitment from four-star linebacker Kobie McKinzie

BOOM! Texas lands a huge commitment from four-star LB Kobie McKinzie.

Reinforcements are Austin bound, as Texas was able to benefit off the departure of Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma, and land a huge commitment from a former Sooner pledge.

Texas’ 2022 recruiting class is welcoming another member in four-star linebacker Kobie McKinzie out of Lubbock, Texas. After committing to Oklahoma almost a year ago, McKinizie decided to re-open his recruitment after the sudden departure of Riley.

As soon as Riley left and McKinzie decommited, the Texas staff was quick to offer him and get him to Austin for an official visit. The visit clearly left a lasting impression, as just two days after he went to check out the Forty Acres, he announced his commitment to Texas.

Defense has been a major point of emphasis in recruiting for a Texas team that ranked No. 100 in the nation in total defense, giving up 456 yards per game.

Texas’ class stays at No. 7 in the 247Sports rankings, behind schools such as Penn State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State.

Steve Sarkisian and his staff will have ample opportunities to add even more talent to the class prior to early signing day on Dec. 15, and need to capitalize on all the coaches moving around and try to flip some high level players.

Four-star DL Jaray Bledsoe commits to Longhorns over Texas A&M

The Longhorns added another four-star defensive lineman to their 2022 recruiting class on Monday.

Texas defensive line coach Bo Davis has found some momentum on the recruiting trail.

The Longhorns added another four-star defensive lineman to their 2022 recruiting class on Monday. Jaray Bledsoe, the No. 23 prospect in the state of Texas, announced his commitment via Twitter.

Bledsoe only took two official visits in June. Texas and Texas A&M each hosted the Marlin High School product. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound lineman played at Bremond prior to his senior season and was a first-team all-district selection at both running back and defensive line as a junior.

Bledsoe becomes Texas’ fifth defensive lineman to commit for the 2022 cycle. Steve Sarkisian’s first full recruiting class in Austin is currently rated the top class in the Big 12 and within the top 10 nationally.

Here’s what 247Sports recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks had to say about Texas’ latest commit.

“Physical player with general suddenness and violence to his game. Extensive experience on both sides of the ball with outstanding production during junior season (100-plus tackles, 1,000-plus rushing yards). A natural talent with functional athleticism well beyond his size. Likely fits multiple roles and schemes. Projects to the high-major level with the potential to become an impact starter who possesses a ceiling beyond college.”
