Texas visit impresses LA DT Gerald Wilbon

Finding bodies at defensive tackle is perhaps the greatest need for the Texas Longhorns in the 2016 class, so getting Destrehan (La.) prospect Gerald Wilbon on campus this week was a significant accomplishment. Even more heartening, the visit made a significant impression:

How significant? The 6'3, 311-pounder decided to stay in Austin for an extra night and told the Football Brainiacs that he was "loving" his time at Texas.

Still unrated by 247Sports, Wilbon is a consensus three-star prospect ranked as the No. 67 defensive tackle and theNo. 63 player in Louisiana. He currently holds 11 offers, including Arizona, Arizona State, Texas Tech, and Central Florida.
