Bo Davis’ search for a second defensive tackle has gone outside in-state borders. North Shore’s and three-star commit Kristopher Ross was a nice snag for the Longhorns, but another big man up the middle is going to be needed.
Moving out west to Arizona and four-star defensive tackle Anthony Lucas has released his top 10 schools. Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA, and USC have all made the cut.
Tom Herman’s staff offered Lucas back in June 2020. They saw him have 10 tackles for a loss, six sacks, and two forced turnovers as a sophomore. Lucas’ stats got even better as a junior, recording 15.5 TFLs and seven sacks.
