    OnTexasFootball broke the news earlier this week that Folsom (Calif.) High 4-star DL Josiah Sharma was expected to visit this weekend. OTF can confirm that Folsom High is represented at Texas right now. There is at least one member of the Folsom High staff on campus as well right now. 
    Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek 4-star cornerback Cobey Sellers got to campus at around 6am this morning to take in the team prep prior to Friday morning spring practice. 
    OTF can also report that 2027 RB Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala./High) is also on campus right now. Crowell, 5-11 and 200 pounds, has 18 offers including Texas on January 31. 
    Another visitor of note if 2026 DFW area receiver Jaylen Pile (Dallas/Parish Episcopal). Pile is the son of former Virginia Tech and NFL safety Willie Pile.

    Four-star CB target visiting Texas Friday
    The Texas Longhorns will host of the top cornerback targets in the 2025 cycle Friday. 
    Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek cornerback Cobey Sellers told OnTexasFootball that he will make an unofficial visit to Texas Friday.
    Sellers, 5-11.5 and 175, has been a top target of the Longhorns for almost a year. Defensive backs coach Terry Joseph has maintained constant communication with Sellers since the spring of 2023. Head coach Steve Sarkisian and area recruiter Blake Gideon were by the Houston area school in January. 
    Oklahoma entered the spring in a good spot, and the Sooners will receive an official visit June 21-23. Sellers may also take in the Oklahoma Spring Game April 20. Sellers will make an official visit to Texas June 14-16, the weekend after an official visit to Texas A&M. Georgia and LSU are also in the picture. 
    Texas offered Sellers April 13, 2023.

    A few recruiting updates ahead of the weekend.

    Texas will be hosting 2026 Forney RB Javian Osborne for an unofficial this weekend. Osborne has been a frequent visitor to Texas during his recruitment and was lsat campus for the Junior Day on January 20. Orborne rushed for 2231 yards and 39 rushing touchdowns in 2023. 
    While Texas has a verbal pledge in the fold from Aledo RB Raycine Guillory Jr. the recruiting of running backs in this class has not slowed.

    Four-star 2025 OL Lamont Rogers is expected on campus Friday. Rogers was down in Austin last week for the Elite 11 and All-22 though did not stop by campus to see the staff. The Mesquite Horn prospect just visited Missouri a week ago. 
    Texas has a bit of work to do here. Missouri, Texas A&M and Tennessee are schools to keep close eyes on at the moment. Rogers does have an official visit to Texas locked in for June 14–16.

    Texas Relays are this weekend at the Mike A. Myers Stadium behind DKR. The perfect blend of high school, college and professional track organizations will be in attendance for the four day event. A few high school prospects to keep an eye on that will be partaking in the track & field events this weekend:
    Duncanville WR Dakorien Moore Hitchcock WR Kelshaun Johnson Denton Ryan OL Ty Haywood
    CJ Vogel
    Texas will be hosting a handful of prospects on campus this weekend.
    However, a new name has surfaced as one that will also be making the trip to the 40 Acres. 2027 Waxahachie QB Jerry Meyer III will make his first trip to Austin.
    Meyer, who just moved in from Las Vegas, has not yet seen his recruitment blow up despite throwing for a Nevada state record 58 touchdowns and leading his high school to the class 2A State Championship a year ago.
    Regional schools have begun reaching out to Meyer following his move to the DFW area. Oklahoma, Baylor and Utah are other schools that have begun ramping up communication as well.
    There is also the possibility of a reclassification to the 2026 cycle here.

    The Longhorns are not practicing today, but will return to the field Friday for practice. 
    So on this off day for the team, thought it would be a great time to deliver a few notes OnTexasFootball has picked up in recent days. 
    * Trey Moore has been talked about the top/best pass rusher on the team in some circles already. That's because he has both finesse and power moves with twitch. What hasn't been talked about as much is his ability to be effective in the run game. One area he has impressed early on is his ability to set the edge. 
    * Freshman Wardell Mack has made positive impressions at cornerback due to his advanced understanding of press coverage from a technical standpoint. He does some things naturally in press coverage that will help him maximize long term. 
    * Left guard Neto Umeozulu was said to have had his best run of practices at Texas leading up to the Sugar Bowl. That began the last week of the regular season too. The spring thus far, it's been more of the same. Consistency in the film room and on the field. 
    * Colin Simmons is showing the ability to be disruptive in spurts without being assignment sound. All of that is expected through a few spring practices as an early enrollee. His ability to create some chaos in the backfield is evident. 
    * Ryan Wingo has been talked about plenty already. The continued theme OTF is hearing is a real skill set with ball skills. 
    * Andrew Mukuba was mentioned on Monday by Steve Sarkisian. OTF was told he is a "savvy" player that has picked up the Texas playbook very smoothly. Texas is very happy with Mukuba in coverage, and the willingness to be physical. 
    * Brandon Baker and Daniel Cruz may not be mentioned as much the first couple of weeks of spring practice due to the experienced depth and left guard battle, but Texas is very pleased with the two early enrollee OL's. Both are good in the OL room, and are proving to be keepers on the field out of the gate. 
    * Freshmen safeties Xavier Filsaime and Jordon Johnson-Rubell have shown physicality early on. Filsaime has been talked about more in that manner early on, but JJ-R has also answered the that call. Both are said to be purposeful players that have flashed at both safety and in special teams thus far.
