Texas extends offer to elite in-state 2027 RB
Texas extends offer to elite in-state 2027 RB
The Texas Longhorns and their staff had a busy weekend. They were evaluating some of the top prospects in the country, which included some of the top players in the Lone Star State. Enter four-star running back Lathan Whisenton of the 2027 class.
Programs from all across Texas had extended offers to Whisenton before he hit Austin. Well, he can add the Longhorns to the list now as they have taken his total to 14 offers he announced via his social media.
Whisenton is currently the No. 24 running back in the country and the No. 302 recruit overall per 247Sports composite rankings. The 6-foot, 195-pounder is also the No. 42 prospect out of Texas.
The talent of Whisenton was seen right away as he was named the Texas District 12-6A Offensive Newcomer of the Year as a freshman after racking up 512 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. It was a breakout campaign for Whisenton as he racked up 1,286 yards and scored 18 rushing touchdowns as well as 81 receiving yards.
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes Texas to het Whisenton back on campus to improve their standing in his recruitment.
