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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Longhorns are building momentum already in the summer, securing a commitment from three-star receiver Briceson Thrower…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,536,10017,28],"class_list":["post-326358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns-football","tag-texas-longhorns-football-recruiting","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
