Texas
Perhaps no program had a better Signing Day than Texas. Just last week, Charlie Strong’s latest class sat at No. 38 in Scout.com’s rankings. But after a flurry of late commitments on Wednesday, the Longhorns surged into the top 10 and finished at No. 8. The program’s biggest gets came on defense, where it landed the top safety in the class in five-star prospect Brandon Jones, who picked Texas over Texas A&M. Plus, defensive tackles Chris Daniels and Jordan Elliott, defensive end Erick Fowler—who flipped from LSU—and linebacker Jeffrey McCulloch were all four-star commits lured in by Strong on Signing Day. With Strong’s third season in Austin looming, this class should serve as a nice building block for the future.
Texas A&M
After an off-season defined by the departure of two former five-star signees, quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray, Texas A&M needed good news on Signing Day. Unfortunately for coach Kevin Sumlin, his program missed on a few big targets at the 11th hour. The Aggies were in the mix for five-star players like safety Brandon Jones and athlete Jack Jones but watched them sign with Texas and USC, respectively. Meanwhile, one-time A&M commit and four-star offensive tackle Patrick Hudson signed with Baylor, while four-star linebacker Jeffrey McCulloch spurned the Aggies for the Longhorns. Texas A&M’s class may finish in the top 20, but Sumlin and company came away from Signing Day a bit empty-handed.
