The Texas Longhorns are in an ideal early position with a heavy-hitter in the trenches.

First respected as an elite strong-side defensive end, Cy Ridge standout Vernon Broughton is now regarded as one of, if not the best defensive tackle the country has to offer. Throughout his junior season, Broughton was utilized all over the defensive line and was exceptionally successful penetrating the backfield and collapsing the pocket.

At 6’5, 280 pounds, Broughton has been in the lab daily this offseason, preparing for his senior campaign and grinding to take his play up another notch.
