“You’re going to run out of superlatives talking about JT, and we are extremely excited about him.”
The superlatives that Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman noted regarding his prize 2021 recruit, Denton Ryan’s Ja’Tavion Sanders, who is ranked as the nation’s top athlete, were in comparatively short supply overall on Wednesday as 17 total signees officially joined the class.
After all, Herman had signed two top-three classes in 2018 and 2019, then followed those successes with the No. 10 class last year. The 2021 group, which ranks No. 17 nationally, is currently the lowest-ranked non-transition class for Texas in the last 20 years, a stretch that encapsulates the modern era of recruiting.
