News that was not expected to come for the 2022 Texas football recruiting class is exactly what arrived in surprising fashion on the afternoon of July 14. Texas got the second safety commit in the 2022 class with four-star Denton-Ryan safety Austin Jordan. Texas was expected to fall short of the rival Oklahoma Sooners and head coach Lincoln Riley in the race to land a commitment from Jordan.
Oklahoma was the presumed front runner to land Jordan for the past couple of months. But this is a big get for the Longhorns as the strong results on the recruiting trail continue at the safety position.
