On the same weekend that the Texas Longhorns struggled to get the ball over the goal line against top-ranked Alabama, the team’s offensive recruits had no such trouble. Eight of UT’s nine offensive skill position commits scored touchdowns in their games last week, and defensive end commit Billy Walton added to the scoring with a safety just a few hours after T’Vondre Sweat just missed out on one (according to Big 12 game officials).
It was a good weekend overall for the current crop of Longhorn commits. Arch Manning had a statistical line more in line from what one would expect from a highly-ranked QB prospect, Cedric Baxter had another productive night, Jonah Wilson had a monster game at wide receiver, and Trevor Goosby and Jaden Allen both helped their teams to their first win of the season.
