Now that Texas’ coaching staff has nothing but free time on their hands, they have been hitting the recruiting trail harder than ever before.
The Longhorns have a prime opportunity to bring in prospects that are either in shock from a coaching change and reconsidering their recruitment, or players who are in the transfer portal. The staff has been touching bases with numerous recruits recently, and have even made headway with a couple.
The Longhorns are expected to host four-star athlete Kendrick Law on Friday in hopes of impressing him enough to join their already talented 2022 class.
Law measures in at 5-foot-11, 195-pounds and is rated the No. 1 athlete in the country for the 2022 cycle, according to 247Sports composite. In the state of Louisiana, he’s listed as the No. 3 overall prospect.
Although Law is listed as a versatile athlete, there have been reports that Texas is recruiting him as a safety. The Shreveport native has played on both sides of the ball for Captain Shreve High School, and is also being recruited as a receiver/running back by other schools.
He presents a player that can come in and make an impact on either side of the ball, and wherever he goes will need to determine his best fit.
His visit to Texas on Friday marks the second weekend in a row that Law will be in Austin, as he unofficially visited during the Kansas State game.
