On Sunday, the Longhorns earned their first 2021 commitment under Steve Sarkisian.
Every other commitment from the 2021 class happened under the eyes of former head coach Tom Herman.
After signing a punter in the early signing period with Isaac Pearson of Pro Kick Australia, the Longhorns added a kicker with Bert Auburn. Auburn doesn’t have a recruiting ranking but recently has been picking up steam on the recruiting trail. Programs such as Florida State, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Oregon State have shown interest. The Longhorns extended an offer just four days ago to the all-district kicker.
With Cameron Dicker being the current kicker, Auburn will likely sit for at least a year before he will get his opportunity for the Longhorns. The Flower Mound kicker was named all-district first team for both kicker and punter in the Texas High School 6-6A district. Auburn is now Austin bound.
