Landing quality defensive backs that can continue to uphold the University of Texas’ claim as “DBU” is a trend we’ve seen time and time again throughout the early portion of the Tom Herman era. After piecing together an incredibly loaded recruiting class last year and signing arguably the best secondary group in the country, which featured six All-Americans, the Longhorns are looking to capitalize off that recruiting performance and continue to sign similar elite talent this year.
The 2019 cycle has been good to the Texas program thus far, as they have the No. 8 nationally ranked recruiting class, according to 247Sports Composite, and once again, numerous four-star defensive backs are bound for the Forty Acres.
