The 2020 Texas football recruiting class got a big upgrade on July 17 by landing four-star Cy Ridge High School and Houston, TX, defensive tackle Vernon Broughton. As the highest rated defensive commit now in the 2020 Texas football recruiting class, Broughton impacts the slotting in the national class rankings and the defensive line depth.
Fortunes for the Texas Longhorns football program on the defensive side of the ball on the recruiting trail turned around thus far in the month of July. Landing Broughton and four-star Highland Park High School and Dallas, TX, outside linebacker Prince Dorbah were real game-changers.
