The Texas Longhorns are building momentum already in the summer, securing a commitment from three-star receiver Briceson Thrower in the first weekend of June prior to his official visit later this month.<\/p>\n
Fresh off of official visits to Texas Tech and Texas A&M, the big-framed receiver made his commitment to the Longhorns on Saturday. The 6\u20193 pass catcher from North Forney had hats on the table from Ohio State, Texas A&M, Illinois, and Tech on the table alongside the Texas hat he ultimately chose.<\/p>\n
A multi-sport athlete, Thrower turned in 529 yards and five touchdowns last fall, while running a 10.76 100-meter dash in the spring, running both the sprint and the spring relay for the Falcons.<\/p>\n

Ranked as the consensus three-star prospect, Thrower is the No. 476 player nationally and the No. 57 wide receiver, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.<\/p>\n
Thrower is the second wide receiver commitment for Chris Jackson this cycle, joining New Orleans blue-chipper Easton Royal. The pair boast complementary skill sets, with Thrower already showing an ability to use his hands well and high-point the ball as a potential big target or red-zone jump ball specialist who can also stretch the field vertically with his speed, a prerequisite to play wide receiver for Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian.<\/p>\n
