It did not take long for Max Merril to make his decision.
Just four days after receiving an offer from the Texas Longhorns, the Strake Jesuit offensive tackle announced via Twitter his commitment to the Longhorns on Friday. Merril also considered the Indiana Hoosiers and the Louisville Cardinals.
The 6’4, 273-pound lineman held offers from 38 other schools, but once the Texas offer came in, he made the decision quickly. The composite three-star tackle fills a need for offensive line help in the 2021 class, with just two others currently committed to Texas.
