Ronnie Hoggins (Monarch High School, Coconut Beach, FL) was offered by Texas as part of the recent surge in scholarship offers extended to the high school talent in The Sunshine State. Hoggins, a cornerback for the Knights, is 5-9 and 165 lbs. and has 14 interceptions in 8 games this season.
Hoggins told HornSports early Tuesday morning that he has narrowed his college choices down to three schools: TCU, Texas and Marshall. Additionally he told us he plans to take an official visit to Austin sometime in December, but does not have a date solidified just yet.
Family ties to Texas coaching Staff
Hoggins has family ties to the coaching staff at Texas. His cousin, Chris Morley, plays defensive back at The University of Memphis. Morley was recruited and coached by current Special Teams Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach Chris Vaughn. Hoggins told us he’s very familiar with Coach Vaughn via his cousin’s recruitment at Memphis.
His cousin isn’t the only Division-I athlete in the family – his brother Darius is a wide receiver at The University of Louisiana – Monroe. With multiple family members having gone through the recruiting process, Hoggins is comfortable with where he is at and when he will make his decision.
“I won’t wait until National Signing Day to announce. I plan to graduate early, so I will make my announcement as soon as I have made up my mind.â€
