On Sunday, the Texas Longhorns took a large and important step in assembling the 2021 recruiting class when Katy Tompkins quarterback Jalen Milroe, the nation’s No. 3 dual-threat quarterback, pledged to the Longhorns.
Quarterbacks traditionally commit early to help the coaching staff of their choice in recruiting, so Milroe’s early decision wasn’t surprising from that standpoint, but his recruitment came to a close without an announced decision date. In fact, the first of seven 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions came in on Friday as word started to get out about Milroe’s commitment video.
Texas now has three scholarship quarterbacks on campus and three more committed in the 2020 and 2021 classes, another testament to the elite recruiting ability of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tim Beck at the position.
