Kenny Baker was busy Tuesday: Four new offers

Texas defensive line coach Kenny Baker has begun the process of working to cast a national net in the 2025 cycle. 

When Baker was officially announced as defensive line coach January 30, there wasn't time to hit schools around the country and evaluate junior defensive linemen in person. Now that Baker is settled in and has had a number of recruiting/staff meetings, the evaluation process, new offers and work to get top targets on campus in March and April has begun. 

OnTexasFootball takes a Wednesday morning look at the four new offers made by the Longhorns Tuesday.

No way to answer that right now. The OOS offers that have never been to campus are currently a 0% chance. See who Texas gets to campus, then the recruitments get real. And then it's who takes OV this summer. 

Let's see if the 40 acres can turn some heads. Hook'em!!!

Top 4 for sure IMO. 

I like his film a LOT!  He reminds me of Brandon Brown TFL and very strong.  Definitely top 4.  Besides being from Texas anymore data points that are in the longhorns favor?
