The recruiting momentum continues as Texas lands commitment No. 4 on the day with do-it-all athlete Savion Red.
Texas is hoping that they found a diamond in the rough in the Grand Prairie product. 247Sports has Red rated as a three-star recruit and the No. 205 prospect in the state of Texas.
It remains to be seen what position Red will play at the next level. During his high school career, Red showed the ability to play quarterback, running back, wide receiver and even some linebacker.
Between Red’s 5-foot-10, 210-pound frame and Texas wanting to take a second running back this class, starting Red as a running back/slot wide receiver would be a good fit.
