Texas hosted Baylor DT commit Jackson Blackwell on Saturday

The defensive tackle position remains a high priority for the Texas Longhorns with only one commitment in the 2025 recruiting class, leading to position coach Kenny Baker and the Longhorns hosting Lorena’s Jackson Blackwell on Saturday as Texas opened the 2024 season against the Colorado State Rams.

With the Longhorns kicking off at 2:30 p.m. Central at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, Blackwell was in Austin for an unofficial visit and then made the 90-minute drive up I-35 to watch the Baylor Bears take on the Tarleton Texans.
