Texas joins the sweepstakes for one of the top players out of Maryland in the 2021 recruiting class.

It’s never too late to join the party.

Texas recently sent an offer to four-star wide receiver Dont’e Thornton out of Baltimore, Maryland. He’s the No. 2 overall player in the state and No. 6 wide receiver out of the 2021 recruiting class, according to 247Sports Composite.

There’s a high confidence score on 247Sports’ Crystal Ball Predictions that Thornton is likely to commit to the University of Oregon, therefore Texas will need to act quickly to form a relationship with the two-sport athlete.
