The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder ranks as the No. 2 punting prospect in the nation according to 247Sports.
Per Kohl's Kicking, the 6-foot-3, punter ranks as the nation's No. 2 prospect at that position. Bukauskas becomes the first punter to commit to Texas since Michael Kern's 2024 commitment. Kern entered the NCAA transfer portal in April.
Along with Bukauskas, Texas has commitments from deep snapper Trott O'Neal and kicker Jake Collett. Bukauskas hopes to come in and compete for immediate playing time in Austin.
'That's the game plan. I would love to make an impact as early as possible,' Bukauskas said. 'I believe I have the talent and ability of being that guy as a freshman.'
