On the same weekend that the Texas Longhorns shut out their archrival Oklahoma 49-0 in Dallas, the program’s current high school recruits went 17-2. As will happen, there was a bit of “good news, bad news” in the goings on of the Longhorns’ commits in the week since this column’s last post.
Arch Manning threw a game-winning touchdown pass last Friday, Tre Wisner scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and very nearly had one on a kickoff return, Spencer Shannon had his longest reception of the season in his team’s win over one of the highest-ranked teams in the country, Billy Walton stuffed the defensive stat sheet in a blowout win, Jaden Allen had a pick-six, Aeryn Hampton made big plays on both sides of the ball, and S’Maje Burrell helped his team stay undefeated with a win in a game that may ultimately decide his district’s champion.
