The Early Signing Period was a success for the Texas Longhorns, as they signed 19 of their 22 commitments and hold the No. 3 recruiting class in college football. Their work is far from over because recruiting the 2018 class isn't done with traditional signing day just around the corner on Feb. 7. Three players (Keondre Coburn, Keaontay Ingram, Daniel Carson) are all currently committed and have yet to sign, but there are even more Texas football recruiting news and rumors you need to know.

“I am fully committed to being a defensive back,” Beason said. “I came out here to sharpen my skills and to keep getting at it. I feel like I bring so much to the table as a defensive player.”
Multiple schools, including Texas, have re-offered Beason a scholarship to play DB.
