Earlier today, the Texas Longhorns extended an offer out to 2020 IMG Academy outside linebacker and current Ole Miss commit Jaqwondis Burns.
Last season, Burns was a first-team 5A all-district selection at Terrell High School. He transferred to Dallas Skyline in the spring, but was ruled ineligible to play football there. After that decision, the in-state recruit wound up at IMG Academy for his senior season.
The 6’2, 205-pound linebacker fits the prototypical frame of many of the outside linebackers that Tom Herman has targeted here at Texas.
With JUCO transfer linebacker Caleb Johnson now in the transfer portal, the Longhorns have revamped their search to fill some voids at the linebacker position.
