Tom Herman’s first full recruiting cycle in Austin netted the Texas Longhorns just one running back prospect, but he’s the very best the state has to offer and officially a member of the burnt orange nation, as Carthage product Keaontay Ingram signed with the ‘Horns on Wednesday.
A four-star talent out of East Texas, a remarkable junior campaign placed Ingram among the nation’s most prized running back prospects and when it was all said and done, he had 30 offers to choose from. Florida State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Oklahoma were among the many, and Auburn, LSU, USC and Michigan each continued to push down the stretch as Ingram left the door slightly open.
