Texas is thought to be behind Alabama, Florida State and LSU for Wilson's services, but the Longhorns are making a strong push and should get one of his official visits this fall.
The 6'4", 330-pounder is ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle and No. 3 overall prospect in the country.
4-star WR puts Texas in top 6
Mannie Netherly, a four-star wideout from Crosby, TX, revealed his top 6 schools on Twitter. Unsurprisingly, the Longhorns made the cut:

Netherly had previously committed to Texas A&M, but decommitted when an Aggies assistant coach went on a Twitter rant after five-star QB Tate Martell decommitted. He took an unofficial visit to Texas last month, and they are considered to be one of the favorites to land him, along with LSU.
The 6'2", 185-pounder is ranked as the No. 29 wide receiver and No. 224 overall prospect in the country.
