Per our Rivals Texas insiders:
Most of the focus for the UT staff is on the underclassmen in the 2025 and 2026 classes. We decided to check with some West Coast sources to get some updates on profiles.
* Five-star RB Jordon Davison, out of Mater Dei in Cali, continues to look like a very real option for Texas in the 2025 cycle. One source said it looks to be a Texas-Ohio State battle (I agree, FWIW), with Georgia and Oregon also in the race.
* Alabama was thought to be a player for Davison when Nick Saban was there but this source said Davison is looking for a certain style of offense and Kalen DeBoer’s offenses don’t really fit Davison’s style. “He’s more of a between the tackles type of runner. He can get to the outside, but he’s more of a banger. Texas makes sense there. He’s always fashioned himself after Ezekiel Elliott so Ohio State makes a lot of sense too.”
* Davison’s teammate, 2025 WR Marcus Harris, has been high on Texas for a while. A source this week said things are still up in the air for Harris, but listed Texas and Oregon as the top two. Tennessee and Ohio State were others that were mentioned.
* Offensive lineman John Mills attended UT’s junior day in January. I’m told Mills is “wide open right now” but has about eight schools that are in play. “I would say probably Michigan, Texas and maybe A&M now that they’re involved.”
* Potential five-star corner Dijon Lee Jr. has already visited Texas once, but it sounds like the Longhorns are behind with the Mission Viejo (CA) standout. “Now that Donte (Williams) moved to Georiga, I think Georgia is a serious competitor. USC will be in there. Texas might be in there, but I feel like if he’s going to leave California it would be to go to Georgia to be with Donte.”
