In the midst of another big recruiting weekend for the Texas Longhorns, head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff landed a pledge from North Crowley linebacker S’maje Burrell, who made public a decision from his visit to the Forty Acres last week.
Burrell committed to Texas over 26 other offers, including Baylor, Florida, Florida State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC.
Multiple visits to campus helped the Longhorns build a relationship with Burrell and emerge as a favorite for the 6’0, 215-pounder over recent weeks before position coach Jeff Choate was able to close the deal with Burrell.
