Texas tight ends/special teams coordinator Jeff Traylor has only been with the Longhorns for a little over a year but he's made his mark as a recruiter.

Traylor helped the Longhorns finish with the No. 11 recruiting class according to 247Sports and he helped Texas land four-star safety Brandon Jones.

Traylor's role in landing Jones and the 2016 recruiting class earned him Big 12 conference recruiter of the year from Scout.
