Less than a week after landing top QB recruit Arch Manning, Texas has officially hooked yet another five-star prospect from the Class of 2023.
Safety Derek Williams from Westgate High School in New Iberia, La. announced his commitment to the Longhorns on Twitter Monday, spurning offers from Alabama, Miami, Clemson, Texas A&M, LSU, and Oklahoma.
Williams’s commitment gives Texas the No. 3 ranked recruiting class in the country, according to 24/7 Sports.
Listed at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Williams is the seventh player to commit to the program since Manning did so last Thursday.
