For just the third time throughout the Tom Herman era at Texas, the Longhorns are looking to Washington D.C. for a top-tier talent. The latest of the few instances came on Friday morning, as Texas put an offer on the table for Mekhail Sherman, a five-star outside linebacker prospect out of St. John’s College High School.
Dubbed as the nation’s second-best outside linebacker, per the 247Sports Composite, Sherman is one of the premier prospects in the 2020 class, and that’s evident in his expansive offer list, which now features 33 programs. Being the latest to offer, the Longhorns join the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma in pursuit of his services.
