For the second consecutive year, National Signing Day was relatively quiet for the Texas Longhorns, especially since there weren’t any committed prospects who opted not to sign during the early period.
As a result, the only drama surrounded three remaining targets — Bastrop Cedar Creek defensive end Alfred Collins, Manor defensive end Princely Umanmielen, and Duncanville cornerback Ennis Rakestraw.
And while Umanmielen and Rakestraw both made decisions that went against the expectations entering Wednesday, neither chose Texas. So when Collins announced for the Horns and Carthage athlete Kelvontay Dixon signed after committing on Tuesday evening, there weren’t any surprises in favor of Texas.
