On Sunday afternoon, yet another highly-touted talent joined the Texas Longhorns 2022 class, as Aledo safety Bryan Allen Jr. announced his commitment to Steve Sarkisian’s program.
A former LSU pledge, Allen reopened his recruitment on Jan. 21. Exactly one month later, he released a top seven list that also included Oklahoma, Jacksonville State, Texas A&M, Auburn, USC and Ohio State. At the time, there was reason to believe that Allen, who originally planned to announce his commitment on Monday, would follow suit with a slew of other elite talents who have pledged to Texas this month, thanks in large part to the relationship he’s quickly developed with new safeties coach Blake Gideon.
