Longhorns fans who tuned in to NBC for the All-American Bowl were treated to some good news on Saturday as Larry Turner-Gooden announced his commitment to Texas.
The four-star safety chose Texas over the likes of USC, Colorado, Missouri, Maryland and Penn State.

247Sports composite ranks Turner-Gooden as the No. 15 safety in the country and No. 13 player from Calif.
National recruiting analyst Greg Biggins gave Turner-Gooden a 2-3 round NFL draft projection in his scouting report:
Plays a physical game with an edge in his game. Has good cover skills and ball awareness and is always around the football. Shows good football instincts and is tough in run support. Has a strong body and has filled out and added size in his upper body over the last year. He shows both short area quickness and has good long speed as well. He’s an excellent return man and should be able to return punts and kicks at the college level. Plays very hard with a consistent motor and has a strong will to win.
Turner-Gooden joins Bryan Allen and Austin Jordan to make up Texas’ talented trio of safeties in the 2022 class. He has already signed with the Horns and will enroll early for the spring semester.
