    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.

    Big Human in 2026 class to visit Texas in April
    Kyle Flood is getting a start on the 2026 class by hosting Euless Trinity OL Pupungatoa Katoa for an unofficial visit on April 13.
    Katoa is a massive human that the Longhorns have been monitoring for a bit. Kyle Flood visited Euless Trinity back in the early winter time to see Katoa in person.
    So far, the offer list has grown for the 6-foot-5 and 385-pound Trinity Trojan. Katoa sits with seven offers: Texas State, Utah State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Houston, SMU, Miami and TCU.
    Again, this is a 385-pound offensive line prospect coming to town. Big, big, big.
