The Texas Longhorns have been on a recruiting heater throughout the month of June, and now they are adding their 11th (!!!) commitment of the month.<\/p>\n
Three-star Humble Atascocita defensive tackle Jason Johnson closed out the official visit window with trips to Cal, LSU, and Texas. The Longhorns got the last word with the Atascocita big man and it was a productive trip, as things began to start trending towards the Longhorns shortly after.<\/p>\n
Shortly after returning home from his visit to see the Longhorns, Johnson announced his decision date with a final four of Cal, LSU, Texas, and Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n
The Texas defensive staff knocked Johnson\u2019s visit out of the park and left a significant impression, and on Monday he announced his commitment to the Longhorns over Cal, LSU, and Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n
– Burly interior defender who plays to physical presence.
– Above average functional athlete relative to size.
– Displays enough redirection ability to play with range along the line of scrimmage vs. the run.
– Ultra-strong at the point of attack.
– Can overwhelm single blocks. Shows capability to anchor against or split doubles.
– Bull rusher who can expand move set to raise pass-rushing ceiling.
– Projects to the P4 level as a possible high-major IDL who could become a multi-year starter with pro potential.<\/p>\n
Johnson is the 21st commitment of the 2027 Longhorn recruiting class and the third interior defensive line commitment of the class to go along with Kasi Currie and Tyler Alexander. With this commitment, the Longhorns maintain their position as the fifth-ranked class in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Longhorns have been on a recruiting heater throughout the month of June, and now they are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,257,398,396,397,99,41661,85234],"class_list":["post-734711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-general","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports","tag-texas-longhorns-football","tag-texas-longhorns-football-recruiting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
