Football is back, folks! The Texas high school football season begins this week, and the teams of all but two of the Texas Longhorns’ commits will be playing their season-opener. Utah defensive end Van Fillinger and Florida cornerback Ethan Pouncey both began their seasons within the past two weeks.
With 25 current commits between the 2020 and 2021 classes, this is a very large group of recruits to follow, so prepare for some long posts. For comparison to past years, in the first week of the 2015 high school season, the first year for which I did these weekly posts, the Longhorns had just six commits total!
