One of Nation's Top DL Recaps Trip to Texas

***

While the Junior Day was a bit smaller to begin the 2026 recruiting year, there was nothing small with getting Sierra Canyon (Calif.) DL Kasi Currie on campus for the Texas staff.

The 6-foot-5-inch, 315-pound defensive lineman made the trip to Austin on Saturday and came away with glowing remarks from his trip. This was Currie's first trip to Austin, but there is already some familiarity on campus.

"Just seeing my boy Richard Wesley," Currie said of the highlights from his visit. "He just got out here and he was telling me about it over the phone a couple of days ago and I just had to come out and see it."

The two were teammates at Sierra Canyon, and before Wesley reclassified to enroll early at Texas, the two were in the same grade even. Quite the defensive line tandem there.

On his visit to Texas, Currie was able to sit down and talk with Steve Sarkisian, LaAllen Clark and Kenny Baker. The trio had a similar message to Currie"

"That this is the best place for me," Currie said. "I am going to get developed and that everything I want is here."

An interesting nugget from the trip is that Currie said despite this being the first time he met face to face with Steve Sarkisian, that it felt like he had met before.

Even with this being his first trip down to campus, the Longhorns very much remain a school of interest for Currie early on in his recruitment. 

He said post-visit the Longhorns were very, very high on his consideration.

"Texas is at the top of my (list). They are at the top of my list."

Two other schools of interest include LSU and Alabama. Currie said the Longhorns will certainly receive an official visit in the summer time as well. Then after the officials, a decision will be made.

Coming from California, Currie also said that the city of Austin reminded him of being out on the west coast, despite the weather being a little chillier on Saturday.

Very solid first impression for the elite Cali defensive lineman. Texas is right in the thick of things for Currie after the visit.

He didn't say yesterday. But he is a two-way guy at Sierra Canyon.

Does he slot the three with a little English on it?
