Just like that the Charlie Strong and the Texas Longhorns are off and running with the 2017 recruiting class. After seeing Baylor land a couple of top 2017 in state prospects in Kellen Mond and Hezekiah Jones, Texas landed John Tyler’s Damion Miller to get their first commitment for the class of 2017.
Things got a little interesting earlier in the week when most Texas fans though Austin Westlake’s Sam Ehlinger would be offered and be the Longhorns’ first commit for 2017. Landing Miller comes completely out of left field and is most certainly a pleasant surprise Longhorn fans wouldn’t mind getting used to.
