The Texas Longhorns have been extremely selective in extending offers out to defensive linemen for the 2020 cycle thus far.

Newton weak-side defensive end James Sylvester is a rising pass rusher that is a massive kid with the ability to be a complete terror to quarterbacks when once he begins to unleash his full potential. Because of Sylvester’s physical attributes and early on field success, he’s been able to notch a total of 11 offers from programs such as Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M.
