Texas had a successful weekend of recruiting news.
During the annual Orange-White spring game on Saturday, four-star wide receiver and former Michigan signee Xavier Worthy committed to the University of Texas. Moments later, four-star cornerback Terrance Brooks listed Texas among his top five schools.
On Sunday, the Longhorns dipped into the NCAA transfer portal again and received a commitment from linebacker Devin Richardson. The former-three star prospect signed with New Mexico State out of the 2018 recruiting class. Richardson still has three years of eligibility remaining.

Richardson is a Spring, Texas, native that attended Klein High School. The 6-foot-3 outside linebacker received offers from Utah, New Mexico, Southern University and New Mexico State throughout his recruitment.
In 2019 with New Mexico State, he compiled 69 total tackles (24 solo), three forced fumbles and two sacks. The Longhorns need depth at linebacker and Richardson should be able to make an immediate impact on the Forty Acres.
