2027 DB on the Radar + Recap from 2027 DL

***

A new in-state safety prospect has emerged on the radar for the Longhorns in the class of 2027.

6-foot-4-inch Whitehouse (TX) defensive back Malachi Allen visited the Longhorns on Saturday for the Vanderbilt game and should be considered a name to watch moving forward.

Allen told me following his visit that he is being recruited at the STAR position, or as a hybrid safety/linebacker. The plan now is for a Texas coach to stop by on Thursday according to Allen – most likely being Keynodo Hudson, who Allen spent time with in the facility during the postgame.

On Monday, Florida State became the first to offer Allen. Texas has invited Allen back for the Texas A&M game as well, which means they could get three in-person visits in the month of November alone.

Will have an update later in the week, but this is one to keep an eye on for the winter as Texas gets its in-state safety board straightened out.

Additionally, Kenny Baker hosted 2027 Pearland (TX) defensive lineman DeMarco Jenkins for the Vanderbilt game as well.

The Longhorns offered Jenkins back in the first week of June, and he referred to his trip to Austin as one of the best he has taken so far.

"I had a great time at the game man, the energy was high and i could literally feel the stadium shaking," Jenkins told On Texas Football after the game. "It was definitely one of my best visits and I plan on coming back soon or during the spring."

Jenkins holds 23 offers at the moment – including offers from Arizona State, Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and plenty of others.

Mizzou extended an offer to Jenkins on Monday as well.

I would expect to see Jenkins' name rise heading into the winter evaluation period.
