Terry Joseph had quite the weekend with defensive backs in town.
Four-star cornerback and current Texas commit Jaylon Guilbeau made his way to Austin for his official visit. The Port Arthur prospect has been on Texas unofficial visits before seeing Texas A&M and TCU.
Arguably, more importantly, four-star safety Bryce Anderson finally got to meet Steve Sarkisian and the staff. No defensive back has been a bigger target for the Longhorns than Anderson. In a classic Texas vs Texas A&M battle, getting the safety to Austin could have been the defining factor in the recruitment.
Both of the top priority defensive backs posed with Steve Sarkisian over the weekend. Anderson and Guilbeau flashed the ‘hook ’em sign,’ while also posing in front of a car in a separate photo:

After the official visit, Guilbeau seems locked into his Texas commitment. TCU was reportedly pushing hard for the cornerback but Gary Patterson is not going to get another win over the Longhorns.
As for Anderson, July 4 was supposed to be his commitment date. He thought about pushing it back due to the inability to get to Austin on an official visit. With the trip under his belt, a fireworks show could be in store for Sunday.
