Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR
Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR It's two years away, but Texas currently only has four-star linebacker Taven Epps committed for the 2027 cycle. Over the weekend, plenty of elite talent from that cycle attended the Longhorns' Elite Camp, and four-star wide receiver prospect Alvin Mosley was one of them. Mosley came into the weekend with 16 offers with programs such as Florida State, TCU, SMU, and Arkansas already making bids. That number is now 17 as Texas extended an offer to the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder. It was a productive sophomore campaign for Mosley. He produced 52 receptions for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns. Because of that, 247Sports composite rankings have Mosley as the No. 223 player nationally and the nation's No. 29 wide receiver. They also have him ranked as the No. 32 prospect in the state of Texas. Mosley has mentioned that TCU, Houston, and SMU have caught his eye. However, he came into his visit with Texas hoping to leave with an offer. "I mean, it sounds great. They could develop me to be an NFL receiver so of course I'd like it," said Mosley via Horns247. The Longhorns need to strike while the iron is hot and set up another visit with Mosley quickly.

Longhorns offer top recruit in 2027 class
On Sunday afternoon, the Texas Longhorns were busy on the recruiting trail. They made offers to multiple prospects in the 2027 class, including talented defensive back Eli Johnson. The Texas native has drawn interest from some of the top programs in the nation, and now the Longhorns have entered the mix. At the moment, Johnson has received offers from Houston, Florida State, Colorado State, California, and Baylor. He is ranked as the 14th-best safety and the 24th player from the Lone star state in his class by 247Sports. That could change over the next few months, as Johnson has not set a commitment date. Advertisement While many schools are still in the mix, Johnson did not hide his excitement about receiving an offer from Texas on social media. In a post on his X account, the Steele High School product said, " Beyond blessed to receive my 20th offer from Texas Football." The Longhorns 2027 class only has one commitment so far in Taven Epps. The four-star recruit is ranked as the fifth-best linebacker in his class. If Johnson chose Texas, a defense that includes Epps and Johnson would make life hard for offensive coordinators. Although the Longhorns still have plenty of time to add talent, they have made their interest in Johnson clear. Their next step will be to get Johnson to campus for a visit. That will give Steve Sarkisian and his coaching staff a chance to provide Johnson with a preview of what his future could hold as a Longhorn. Advertisement Over the last few years, the Longhorns have excelled at developing defensive backs and have chosen Johnson as their next target. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.
