Versatile Mansfield Legacy safety Jalen Catalon trimmed much of the fat in his recruitment on Thursday night and the Texas Longhorns are still in the thick of the race. Catalon also named Clemson, TCU, Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Ohio State in his top eight.
One of the Longhorns top defensive targets this cycle, Catalon has already made several visits to the Forty Acres throughout the offseason with the most recent coming for Texas’ spring game. The Longhorns are expected to receive one of Catalon’s official visits, as well.
With a well-documented relationship with Texas safeties coach Craig Naivar and the opportunity to also play baseball in Austin, Catalon is considered a heavy Longhorns lean to this point.
