The Texas Longhorns continue to address their biggest roster needs, grabbing a key commitment from Kahuku (Hawaii) linebacker Liona Lefau on Saturday.
The 6’1, 210-pound linebacker from Hawaii recently narrowed his focus to three schools, the Utah Utes, the Oregon Ducks, and the Longhorns, scheduling visits to all three. For much of the recruitment, it seemed that the West Coast teams — especially Oregon and ace recruiter Tosh Lupoi — were the teams to beat in the recruitment. However, the Longhorns, including player personnel analyst Jake Langi, pulled out all of the stops during his visit and the weeks following to close the recruitment.
