Top DL target visiting April 6

The Texas Longhorns April 6 visitor list continues to add big time names. 

One day after OnTexasFootball confirmed that Auburn commit Malik Autry (Opelika, Ala./High) s scheduled to be in Austin this weekend, another 4-star defensive lineman is confirmed for Saturday. 

Lufkin (Texas) High's Zion Williams told OnTexasFootball last night that he plans to be in Austin Saturday with his mom. Williams, 6-4.5 and 325 pounds, will also make an official visit to Texas June 21-23. 

The main competition for Texas with the East Texas stout interior lineman is LSU. Williams made an unofficial visit to LSU in March, and plans to be back April 13 for the Tigers Spring Game. A June official visit (likely June 7-9) will also happen. 

Texas A&M and TCU are also in the mix for the latest high-end talent out of Lufkin High. TCU will receive and official visit May 3-5, and Texas A&M is expected to receive a June official visit. 

Williams has 18 known offers headed into April. That offer list includes SEC programs Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.

This DL class has a chance to be very special; Brown, Sharma, Williams... all very large, very athletic big men that like to play in the opponent's backfield! Coach Baker seems to be earning his money.

Do Zion & his Mom show any concern  about the LSU player up for murder charges?

I would doubt it unless the LSU coaches ordered the hit.

Where would Autry fit as far as talent goes?   I know you feel that Brandon Brown is borderline 5 star.  Zion is a must get based on measurements alone.  Same for Sharma.  How would you rank the linemen Texas is chasing.

Are we pro or against women romancing each other when Zion comes in?  I recall that was an issue with Jamarkus.

Going to have a defensive recruiting board in a little while. Brown and Sharma are such high end guys because of skill set/versatility. Zion and Autry are those big body guys you truly need in the SEC
