In the midst of a critical stretch that will largely define the quality of the 2020 recruiting class for the Texas Longhorns, head coach Tom Herman and his staff picked up their third commitment of the month with the pledge of Houston Cy Ridge defensive tackle Vernon Broughton.
The 6’5, 286-pounder who wants to major in Business Management chose the Longhorns over a final group that included the Arkansas Razorbacks, LSU Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Texas A&M Aggies, with each of those schools hosting Broughton on official visits in recent weeks.
