Auburn among top schools for Texas cornerback in 2023 class

Top 100 player lists Auburn among top 12 schools.

With the 2022 recruiting cycle wrapped up, the Auburn Tigers finished with the No. 18 class according to 247Sports team composite. Focus now shifts to the 2023 class. Auburn has one commitment so far, four-star offensive lineman Bradyn Joiner from Auburn, Alabama.

On Monday, four-star cornerback Braxton Myers released his top 12 schools. He transferred from John Paul II High School in Plano, Texas, to Coppell. Auburn made the cut with fellow SEC schools Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss. They will have home-state competition for Myers from the Texas Longhorns and TCU Horned Frogs. Texas signed his former high school teammate Terrance Brooks in the 2022 cycle after flipping him from Ohio State.

Auburn Wire breaks down his recruiting profile. Some recruiting services have him listed as a safety, but he projects best at cornerback.

Four-star wide receiver Johntay Cooks includes Texas in top schools

Four-star WR Johntay Cook released his top schools on Sunday, with Texas making the cut. Oklahoma is the only other conference foe on the list.

Looking into the 2023 recruiting class, one of the best in-state positions is wide receiver. Three of the top 10 come from the state of Texas, two having five-star status per the 247Sports composite.

DeSoto’s High School’s Johntay Cook is one the Longhorns are going after. After receiving 34 offers from programs around the country, the four-star wide receiver decided to make his first trim.

Cook released his top 12 schools on Sunday evening, with Texas making the cut. Oklahoma is the only other conference foe on the list, while five future SEC compadres are included as well.

Texas hosted Cook back in early June. He and five-star quarterback Arch Manning got to work out inside the stadium and take the typical recruiting weekend photos together. Former commit and five-star running back Rueben Owens was with them as well.

Texas Football Recruiting: Four-star OT Malik Agbo releases top 12 schools

News out of the Pacific NW came out in the form of four-star OT Malik Agbo. The No. 6 player from Washington released his top 12 schools.

A common theme over the past week in Texas recruiting has been the West Coast. Two players from Nevada were offered in the past week, while Lander Barton, the No. 1 player from Utah, was offered on Wednesday.

News out of the Pacific Northwest came to fruition in the form of four-star offensive tackle Malik Agbo. The No. 6 player from Washington released his top 12 schools on Friday, and Texas made the cut.

Alabama, Arizona State, Florida, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and USC form the top 12, making Agbo one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. Four Pac-12 programs are still in the race; most players from Washington end up in the conference.

On the 247Sports composite, Agbo is the No. 256 player and No. 30 offensive tackle in the country. He spoke with 247Sports about his top 12, saying nothing but positive things about Texas.

“With the relationship I have built with coach (Steve) Sarkisian, it’s incredible how much we’ve got to see how each other do things and him being able to tell me all about the University of Texas is amazing.”

Offensive tackles Kelvin Banks, Devon Campbell and Kam Dewberry will remain a priority for Texas until they win or are out of the race. With how poor the offensive line class was during the 2021 cycle, Kyle Flood is looking to take multiple prospects, even if he wins his main battles.

Agbo would be the perfect example of another guy the Longhorns are willing to take. Depth is important but getting quality is how Flood will turn around Texas’ offensive line.

Texas Football Recruiting: 2023 four-star WR DeAndre Moore puts Texas in top schools

Four-star WR DeAndre Moore announced his top 12 schools on Monday, with Texas making the list. He ranks as the No. 1 WR in the ’23 class.

April 2021 is way too early to put any stock into a 2022 prospect, let alone a 2023 recruit. However, Texas is beginning to make early strides within the class. Four-star running back Rueben Owens committed in February, while Texas has picked up its pursuit in five-star quarterback Arch Manning.

Steve Sarkisian is going to love recruiting out west due to previous ties during his time at Washington and USC. Las Vegas is one of the biggest hotspots in the Pacific Time Zone and Texas has made the cut for one of their top 2023 prospects.

Four-star wide receiver DeAndre Moore announced his top 12 schools on Monday and the Longhorns made the list. Arizona State and USC are the only two Pac-12 programs remaining, with national programs and Texas A&M still in contention.

In 247Sports’ latest rankings update, Moore is the No. 1 player in the state of Nevada and the No. 3 wide receiver.
