On Tuesday, the Texas Longhorns received an unexpected pledge from Huntsville defensive end T’Vondre Sweat, who committed over offers from Alabama, Baylor, Oklahoma, TCU, Texas A&M, and others.
Although Sweat’s rankings aren’t particularly impressive — he’s a mid three-star prospect — his offer list is impressive and his pledge came at an important time for the Longhorns.
With the Aggies surging on the recruiting trail in recent weeks by winning head-to-head battles for highly-rated prospects like safeties Brian Williams and Demani Richardson and cornerback Bobby Wolfe.
By landing Sweat, Texas now has some really positive news in the 2019 recruiting class for the first time since the 2018 class signed.
