Brazziell/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesThe Longhorns have been recruiting blue-chip Chaminade-Madonna HS (Fort Lauderdale, FL) RB Derrek Cooper incredibly hard over the past few weeks. The player once seen as a Georgia "lock" has now reportedly begun to lean towards Texas due to the recruiting efforts of new Longhorn running backs coach Chad Scott.
