The Angleton-to-Texas defensive back connection was a family affair until Diggs started showing an interest in the younger player.
If he even needed it, Foster was mentored by his fellow Angleton standout, who played an active role in ensuring that the younger player followed in his significant footsteps by choosing Texas.
There was a fundamental difference between the two players, however. Where Diggs was the undersized athlete at 5’9 who had to wait until the second Junior Day in 2010 to receive his offer — a major sign of the Longhorns not valuing Diggs especially highly, despite the fact that he grew up around the program — Foster was the 6’1 standout who received his offer from former head coach Charlie Strong and his staff in April of 2016, nearly a year earlier than Diggs received his offer.
