Recruiting momentum is at an all-time high early on during the Steve Sarkisian era. Top players from across the country pilgrimaged to Austin, headlined by the first junior day since 2019.
Last Saturday began the festivities, with a decent amount of ’22 prospects made their first official visits. Three-star DeAnthony Gatson was one of them, spending two days around the Texas football program.
The Newton native headed out west to Los Angeles this weekend, to see USC while Colorado is still on the calendar. The three schools are a part of Gatson’s top five, with Iowa State and Minnesota looking from the outside in.
After making three official visits, Gatson is going to make a decision. He announced he will be committing on Tuesday, June 22.
I will be announcing my commitment June 22nd.. #GodsTiming

Colorado, Texas, and USC seem to be the leaders here. For the Longhorns, Gatson is expected to play running back. Despite still having a commitment from Jaydon Blue, Stan Drayton has focused on getting another back for the class.
Considering Iowa State will not receive a visit prior to the commitment, Matt Campbell could be out. As for Minnesota, the Gophers took another running back from Texas in Zach Evans this past week.
