Texas will host former TCU defensive end Ochaun Mathis for an unofficial visit this weekend.
Mathis would fill a major need for a Texas defensive line that struggled to create much pressure a year ago. He totaled 12.5 sacks in 38 career games at TCU and received All-Big 12 honors in 2020 and 2021.
Between Gary Patterson joining Texas’ staff and Mathis growing up in the central Texas area, the Longhorns have been the presumed favorite to land him for quite some time now. Texas was joined by USC, Ole Miss, Penn State and Nebraska in Mathis’ final five schools.
Texas has already signed an impressive group of transfers this offseason, headlined by former Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers and Wyoming wideout Isaiah Neyor. Adding Mathis to the list would go a long way towards a turn-around 2022 season.
