Texas has struck out on another 2021 recruit, this time in Andrew Mukuba. A four-star prospect, Mukuba comes of out LBJ High School in Austin, Texas. Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers won the safety over LSU and Texas.
Mukuba announced his decision on Thursday night on Instagram Live.
On the 247Sports composite, Mukuba ranks as the No. 13 safety in the country. Inside the state of Texas, he is the No. 43 player and ranks as the No. 242 player in the country.
The safety measures in at 6-0 and 185 pounds. Mukuba has been compared to current Longhorns’ strong safety Chris Brown by Gabe Brooks of 247Sports.
The Tigers’ 2021 recruiting class has no other secondary recruits. Mukuba is the No. 14 recruit in Clemson’s class. Swinney will be getting a safety with good range and excellent ball skills. Once on campus at Clemson, he will need to add some weight to play in the ACC.

Mukuba is apart of multiple targets the Longhorns have whiffed on in the 2021 class. It began with the Brockermeyer twins, James and Tommy, to Alabama. It continued on the offensive line with multiple three-star tackles.
After a rare miss for cornerback coach Jay Valai, Texas’ class is now nearly complete. Running back L.J. Johnson and outside linebacker Terrance Cooks could complete the 2021 recruiting class for the Longhorns.
