The Longhorns are in search for some early-impact defensive linemen in the 2016 recruiting cycle, and defensive coordinator Vance Bedford has reportedly turned his attention to three-star Mendocino C.C. defensive end Jamar King.
“I’ve talked to (Bedford), and he was saying that they really need some help with defensive linemen,” King said recently. “He said that he needed some guys that could come in and play right away.”
