On Thursday, Duncanville edge Colin Simmons pulled off one of the most rare feats in modern high-profile recruitments — keeping a decision he said he made in the hours before his announcement from becoming public knowledge until he committed to the Texas Longhorns during a ceremony at his high school.
The nation’s No. 1 edge immediately becomes the highest-rated recruit in the 2024 recruiting class for the Longhorns and the highest-rated commit at his position for the program since Jackson Jeffcoat in 2010.
On the recruiting trail immediately and eventually on the field, Simmons has the juice to make a fast and significant impact convincing his peers to join him on the Forty Acres before his expected emergence as a high-level, game-changing pass rusher.
