Texas Longhorns rising senior nose tackle Keondre Coburn is returning for the 2022 season, he announced on Monday via Twitter.
The 6’2, 346-pounder was initially listed by the school as a participant on Senior Day against Kansas State, but Coburn eventually decided against receiving recognition with the seniors, presaging his Monday announcement.
A consensus four-star prospect ranked as the No. 123 player and the No. 11 defensive tackle in the 2018 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite, Coburn committed to Texas in August 2017. Alabama and Miami continued their pursuit of Coburn late into the cycle, but the Houston Westfield product ultimately decided to stick with his pledge and signed with Texas.
