Texas adds J.P. Urquidez, Donovan Duvernay to 2016 signing class

University of Texas Football has added high school All-America OL J.P. Urquidez (Copperas Cove, Texas) and three-time all-district honoree DB Donovan Duvernay (Sachse, Texas) to its 2016 signing class, head coach Charlie Strong announced Monday. Both have signed financial aid agreements and are expected to enroll in the University's second summer session in July.

A two-time all-state selection in each of Texas and Maryland, and three-time all-district honoree, Urquidez (yer-KEE-dez) attended Copperas Cove High School as a freshman, sophomore and senior, while attending DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md., as a junior.

He was selected to the 2016 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl and was named to the All-USA Texas Second Team by USA Today in 2015.
