OTF Premium 2027 Recruiting Notes (Saturday 1:15 pm)

2027 Recruiting Class Nuggets

***

Texas landed a massive commitment from 2027 Brother Martin (La.) WR Easton Royal Saturday morning.

I mentioned it on a thread earlier, but will reiterate – this is the most excited I have been for a commitment at the wide receiver position in the Sarkisian era. Royal has 10.3 speed and is fantastic with his hands and body control.

Additionally, I don't believe LSU is going to be a significant factor – yet. That could change if LSU hires Lane Kiffin, but for now, there was no indication from my meeting in New Orleans last spring that LSU was going to be the frontrunner for Royal.

***

Clear Leader

Texas is far and away the leader for Mansfield Summit EDGE Cameron Hall.

Hall has made the trip to campus for two consecutive weeks and the Longhorns have established themselves as the team to beat.

Should additional news come in the 2027 class, I would look here first.

***

No. 1 Player on Campus

The Longhorns hosted 2027 EDGE DJ Jacobs, a native of Blessed Trinity Catholic High in Roswell, Georgia.

Jacobs is the No.1 player in the country per the 247Sports rankings. The Longhorns rolled out the red carpet for Jacobs as well. He was on the sidelines front and center watching Colin Simmons go through his entire warm up routine during pregame.

Steve Sarkisian and the Texas staff stopped by pregame to say hello on their walk into the stadium as well. Texas is swinging big with 2027 prospects over the last two weeks.

Additionally, Orange Lutheran (Calif.) DL Marcus Fakatou made the trip to Austin last night as well. 

***

Another Speed Offer

An additional 2027 offer was extended late Friday night. The Longhorns offered Tyler High RB CaDarius McMiller following the win over Texas A&M.

McMiller clocked 10.44 in the 100m in May.

Oregon, Florida State, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Texas Tech, Arizona State and several others have already offered the speedy east Texas running back.

I had to do a double take watching McMiller’s hudl.  Thought it was on fast forward.  That dude can move.

@CJ Vogel Any smoke on potential reclass names from ‘27 to ‘26 class?

Not that I am aware of at the moment. Texas is looking to fill some spots in 26 and then get ready for big boy portal ball.

Yeah, he can scoot.

I am sure the environment last night helped with recruits. 

[Realist Horn]

Is Royal a day 1 starter? I cannot imagine Texas would be paying big dollar to have more WRs who won’t contribute in year 1.

Any news about other Offensive lineman and defensive lineman in the 2026 class? Is Texas going after after portal lineman. Eventually, Texas needs a four to five lineman haul to supplement the developmental depth. So, the portal will become huge at guard during portal. 

[Sundancekid]

What about 2026 notes? Didn’t Lee visit?

[Sundancekid]

LOL!

[WestlakeLonghorn]

How about Carlton flipping from Baylor just now!

[Sundancekid]

Thus the LOL. I should ask again?
