When Tom Herman took over the Texas Football team in November, he inherited a handful of recruits from Charlie Strong’s tenure. This included quarterback Sam Ehlinger, wide receiver Damion Miller, athlete Montrell Estell, and defensive end Taquon Graham.
In September 2016, Graham had committed to Texas and became one of their first building blocks toward the 2017 recruiting class. However, once Herman and the new staff took over, this made the status of some of the already-committed players unknown. The only one that has left over the past month is defensive end Lagaryonn Carson, who dealt with off-the-field issues.
