Last fall, a true nightmare scenario struck for the 2022 Texas football recruiting class when the elite five-star Southlake Carroll pro-style quarterback Quinn Ewers decommitted. What ensued in the next 24 was the near-complete destruction of what looked to be a brewing elite 2022 class. Texas and former head coach Tom Herman lost a commitment from Ewers and four-star Lancaster wide receiver Phaizon Wilson in the span of just a few hours.

And it looked like the Longhorns’ lone remaining commitment at the time in the 2022 class, four-star Memorial cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau might re-open his recruitment too.
