    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.

    Folsom (Calif.) High defensive lineman and OnTexasFootball 4-star Josiah Sharma made his first visit to Texas Friday. 
    Sharma, 6-3.5 and 323 pounds with power and explosive ability, was accompanied on the visit by his mom and a few Folsom High coaches. Per a source Sunday, Sharma and his mom had a tremendous visit to Texas. From watching the spring practice, to meeting with Steve Sarkisian, spending time with Kenny Baker for the first time and time spent in the facilities around people and players in the program. 
    Baker was said to have made a strong impression on Sharma and his mom. Sharma walked away from the visit with a belief that Baker and Texas could help him develop and maximize his potential.
    An official visit to Texas is locked in. The source wasn't sure if it was going to be June 14-16 (bumping Utah) or June 21-23, but June 14-16 is most likely. 
    The visit to Texas was the third of the week during Folsom High's spring break. Sharma and his mom visited Alabama and Oklahoma prior to Texas. 
    Alabama and Texas are at the top of the list with Washington, Oklahoma, Utah and Oregon also receiving mention. 
    In closing, OnTexasFootball believes the Longhorns are very much in this recruitment with a legitimate shot.
