Meet the 2019 early enrollees already on Texas' campus, including three players with the same last name
Here's a brief look at the nine early enrollees for the Longhorns this spring:
De'Gabriel Floyd, LB
Floyd was an unlikely grab for Texas in the 2019 class, so much so that head coach Tom Herman even admitted it during his early signing period press conference last month. But it did help that Floyd's head coach at Westlake High School in California, Tim Kirksey, was college teammates with Herman at Cal Lutheran. Floyd is a four-star product who was rated as the No. 4 inside linebacker in the nation.
Caleb Johnson, LB
Johnson is a three-star product from Fullerton College in California. He's the No. 3-rated JUCO outside linebacker in the country. Herman said last month that Johnson has a chance to see some early playing time, and he even compared his skill set to Texas linebacker Gary Johnson. With starters Gary Johnson and Anthony Wheeler departing, it's feasible to see Caleb Johnson seeing some reps in 2019.
Roschon Johnson, QB
Johnson, a four-star recruit from Port Neches-Groves and the No. 5-rated dual threat quarterback nationally, enters a Texas quarterback room that's made plenty of headlines over the past month. With the transfer of Cameron Rising and the possible transfer of Shane Buechele, Johnson could be third on the depth chart come the start of the 2019 season, behind starter Sam Ehlinger, of course, and backup Casey Thompson, who will be a redshirt freshman. Still, Johnson's decision to enroll early will help his chances of competing for the backup spot with Thompson. And with Ehlinger's notable injury history, the backup quarterback position at Texas isn't exactly a bad role to have right now.
Tyler Johnson, OT
Johnson -- the third Johnson enrolling early -- hails from Conroe Oak Ridge and is the highest-rated recruit in Texas' 2019 class. The four-star product is the No. 8 offensive tackle in the country, and he already has impressive size at 6-foot-5, 308 pounds. Johnson is highly skilled and versatile, and Herman noted last month that Johnson could even play at multiple positions on the line.
Jacoby Jones, DE
Jones looks to become the next Kansas JUCO defender to be a playmaker for the Longhorns, after former Dodge City Community College product Gary Johnson ended up making a name for himself at Texas in just two seasons. Jones, a three-star product and the No. 2-rated JUCO strong side defensive end, hails from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan. With Texas losing all three starters on the defensive line, Jones could immediately compete for playing time in 2019.
Peter Mpagi, DE
Mpagi is a three-star product from George Ranch High School and just the 50th-ranked wide defensive end nationally. Both his father and sister went to UT. Mpagi has good height at 6-foot-4.5, but he only weighs 224 pounds right now. Much like Charles Omenihu when he first arrived at Texas, Mpagi will have to put on some weight and he'll need some time to develop, making him more of a project right now.
Marcus Tillman, Jr., LB
Tillman is a three-star product from Orlando, Fla., and rated as the No. 22 outside linebacker in the country. He played safety early on in his high school career before switching to linebacker. Tillman is one of four linebackers in the 2019 class and one of three enrolling early, and he'll be yet another young player on Texas' roster vying for playing time at the position.
Jordan Whittington, WR
Whittington put on a show in the 4A Division 2 state championship game last month at AT&T Stadium, recording 377 total yards, six touchdowns and 11 tackles to help lead Cuero to a title. It was no surprise that he was named both the offensive and defensive MVP as a result. Whittington, a four-star product and the second-highest rated player in the 2019 class, will be a receiver for the Longhorns, and it's clear that Texas is getting a dynamic playmaker who has the potential to make an impact early.
Jared Wiley, TE
Wiley is one of two tight ends in the 2019 class, along with Brayden Liebrock. Wiley, a three-star product and the 36th-rated tight end in the nation, comes from Temple High School, the same school that current Texas defensive end Ta'Quon Graham attended. Wiley has good size at 6-foot-6, 225 pounds, but he has only limited experience playing tight end and he was a quarterback as a senior. The Longhorns have plenty of depth at the tight end position right now, and Wiley will be more of a long-term project.

Did anyone see the text where fwk was demanding money for a PWO candidate? I won't post it here, but its out there. Pretty disappointing.
I believe drgilbert posted that yesterday in another topic...Longhorn news - non-recruiting.

Depends on if the schools have paid him for his services (aka helping get his 'guys' to commit to a certain school). I don't think what he's done with parents in terms of getting kids roster sports for monetary consideration (payment) is going to get anyone in trouble. The NCAA could probably put a show cause order on him, but they don't usually bother with people that aren't officially part of a member institution.
