🔥 June Commitment Weekend
During the opening official visit weekend (June 6–8), Texas secured commitments from:
Dylan Berymon (DL, Monroe, LA): A 4‑star interior defensive lineman, ranked No. 172 nationally by On3. At 6’2″, 315 lb, he chose Texas over Purdue and Texas A&M, citing a strong program culture and fit .
Jake Collett (K, Ringgold, GA): A 3‑star kicker ranked No. 2 in his position for 2026 by Kohl’s Kicking. His addition solidifies Texas’ special teams depth .
Kohen Brown (WR, Waxahachie, TX): A former USC commit noted for his 10.69‑second 100 m speed. He flipped to Texas in early June and now joins a receiver room gaining serious momentum .
Together, these three moves pushed Texas to No. 14 in the On3 team rankings—even before further June visits and possible future commitments .

In the broader SEC pecking order (June 9 snapshot), Texas sits at No. 14 in league rankings, behind heavyweights like LSU, Georgia, and Texas A&M .

What This Means for Texas
Momentum in June: Official visits are translating directly into commitments—critical for building class depth.
Strong national and in-state appeal: Landing out-of-state prospects and holding Texas stars like Kohen Brown signal elite recruiting traction.
Setting the stage for future jumps: With more official visits scheduled and targets still undecided, Texas could climb further as signing day approaches.

In short, June’s pledge spree pushed Texas firmly into the national spotlight, grabbing the No. 14 spot in On3’s rankings and reinforcing the team’s balance and depth. With the season approaching and more recruits on the way, Texas is trending upward—and fast.
