A little more than a year ago, the most likely Brockermeyer to become a starter for the Texas Longhorns in 2021 was standout left tackle Tommy Brockermeyer, a consensus five-star prospect and the No. 6 prospect nationally in the 2021 recruiting class.
But after a solid spring and continued success in preseason camp, it’s junior Luke Brockermeyer who is now a surprise starter for the Longhorns at middle linebacker.
A former walk on, Brockermeyer was a late addition to the 2018 Texas recruiting class after decommitting from Rice and passing on another scholarship offer from Oregon State to land at his father Blake’s alma mater.
