After an official visit with teammate Jett Walker in late November for the win over the Arkansas Razorbacks, Georgetown offensive lineman Kaden Scherer flipped from the Stanford Cardinal to the Texas Longhorns in late last month and inked with head coach Steve Sarkisian’s program on Wednesday.
The 6’6, 285-pound tackle from Georgetown committed to the Cardinal in June, choosing Stanford over Kansas State and Northwestern after visiting the trio. But after a late Texas offer and visit for the Arkansas game, the lengthy lineman made the switch to the hometown team. A consensus three-star prospect ranked as the No. 92 interior offensive lineman in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Scherer bolsters a class that needs some bodies and may give him the longer development path that he needs.
Scherer is the third offensive lineman in this class, a group highlighted by tackle John Turntine, the No. 179 player in the class of 2026 as Sarkisian and position coach Kyle Flood sought to make some waves in this cycle, in addition to pushing in the transfer portal, to shore up some of the deficiencies that the offensive line currently features.
