It's no secret that the Longhorns were very much in on Isaac Brown over the past few days, but his return to Louisville in 2026 forces Texas to pivot to other options. Two of those options, and ones that Steve Sarkisian and Texas are very familiar with is LSU's Caden Durham and Oklahoma's Taylor Tatum.
Durham, the No.6-ranked RB in the 2024 recruiting class, hails from Duncanville, TX. He was a highly sought after prospect by Texas and they initially offered him a scholarship in February of 2023, and the team was pretty bummed when he ultimately committed to LSU.
