Texas’ 2021 recruiting misery continued on Wednesday night, with Billy Bowman decommitting. A four-star athlete on the 247Sports composite, Bowman was the Longhorns’ second-highest rated recruiting in the class.
Coming out of Denton Ryan High School in the Dallas Fort Worth area, Bowman announced his decision via Twitter. Here is what he had to say:
I’ve decided to take a step back, analyze my future & dream goals. I want to thank everyone at The University of Texas for recruiting & beleiving in me. I will be decommitting & re-opening my recruitment. Thank you all for your support and prayers.
No Interviews Please
Defensive coordinator Chris Ash and cornerbacks coach Jay Valai have been the main recruiters for Bowman. The four-star prospect had committed to Texas back in July 2019. Now, Bowman will have 30 other offers to decide from.
Able to play wide receiver, defensive back, and even return punts, Bowman was listed as an athlete on 247Sports. Nationally, the senior was the No. 33 overall player and the No. 6 prospect in the state of Texas.

Texas’ 2021 class has dropped to No. 17 in the country. Bowman was seen as an intricate member of the #trUTh21 movement. Tom Herman’s off the field recruiting performance will not help his poor on the field results.
