Safety

Commits: J.D. Coffey

Remaining targets: Andrew Mukuba

Analysis: J.D. Coffey committed at the same time as Ishmael Ibraheem, pairing the two blue-chip defensive backs together. Coffey is the No. 7 safety on the 247Sports composite and the top in the state of Texas.

Coffey is seen almost like a center fielder, being able to roam all around the field and make plays. However, a senior season will be needed in order for his game to improve. A year under the wing of a couple of Texas’ starters and Coffey will instantly become a top player in the defense.

Texas seems comfortable with just taking Coffey in their 2021 class, Andrew Mukuba is still a target they are going after. An Austin native, Clemson is the other team in the race for the four-star safety.

247Sports has compared him to current Longhorn safety Chris Brown. Valai is still working on Mukuba but has to fend off the current No. 1 team in the country. It seems as if this recruitment will go into the fall, with Mukumba wanting to take official visits.
