Hornito Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 As we keep hearing about recruiting Michael Terry III, and how’s he’s an amazing athlete (no doubt) but he’s not specialized in any particular position.. I’m genuinely curious, do we have any examples of an ATH recruit being a successful starter at Texas? I can’t think of any, but that’s why I ask. I have no doubt they can be successful, but at a place with top 5 classes, with great specialized players can a generalist find their way? Of course they *could* but remind me, who has? Thanks, y’all 🤘🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted July 9 Moderators Share Posted July 9 Jordan Whittington was technically classified as an ATH. Quandre Diggs, Adrian Phillips, Duke Thomas all the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, CJ. Great to have your recall on those guys. My question arose from the convo on Terry, with Gerry and Bobby repeating that Terry is not an RB or WR at Texas, which leads to TE or some HBack speculation. Seems like Terry could be very good at RB or WR on some rosters but Texas is recruiting amazing specialist guys at those (and most other) spots. The guys you mention do fall into the era of our less than stellar recruiting years, or no? I saw we had a large dip in blue chip guys between 2011-2018. Would it be fair to say there was more room to rise to the top on those rosters than us having 5 stars up and down the lineup? Obviously we want Terry! Just pondering the situations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
