Texas receives On3 prediction for four-star CB Malik Muhammad

Malik Muhammad may be trending toward the Longhorns.

Four-star cornerback Malik Muhammad might be trending toward the Longhorns. Sam Spiegelman of On3 Sports predicted Muhammad to Texas with 75% confidence on Tuesday.

Spiegelman is not the first to predict the top defensive back to Steve Sarkisian’s squad. Yesterday, On3 national recruiting analyst Gerry Hamilton put in a 60% confidence pick that the Oak Cliff native would join the Longhorns. Additionally, Geoff Ketchum of Orangebloods sent in a Rivals FutureCast for Muhammad in favor of Texas.

The Longhorns have had great success with safeties of late, but have not fared as well with elite cornerback prospects. The top 50 player from South Oak Cliff would be a massive addition to Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense. Clearly, Terry Joseph, Blake Gideon and company are having a strong offseason on the recruiting trail.

Individually, On3 Sports ranks Muhammad the No. 2 cornerback and No. 26 overall player in the nation. He is the No. 5 cornerback and No. 50 player in the On3 consensus, which accounts for ratings from 247Sports, Rivals, and ESPN as well.
