The 2021 Texas football recruiting class got a big boost on May 2 by landing the commitment of four-star Memorial weak-side defensive end Jordon Thomas. This was the second commitment that Texas nabbed in a matter of seven days. The other came from three-star Atascocita tight end Landing King on April 26.
Landing the commitment of Thomas for the 2021 recruiting class of the Texas Longhorns football program was significant really for two reasons. One is it keep the strong pipeline of talent rolling onto the Forty Acres. And the second reason is that it gives a continued edge and momentum to head coach Tom Herman over head coach Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies.
