As the Thanksgiving leftovers were put away and the calendar flipped to December, the teams of nine Texas Longhorn football commits were still alive in the Texas high school football playoffs.
Two commits saw their 2019 season come to an end last week, and as many as seven commits could be in action today, pending the health of Hudson Card’s foot.
Another commit whose 2019 exploits have been documented in this column for over three months removed himself from the #cloUT2020 class this week, as defensive end Van Fillinger, whose team had won Utah’s Class 6A state title a week earlier, announced his de-commitment from Texas on Sunday in the wake of Todd Orlando being fired as the team’s defensive coordinator.
