Texas Longhorns have landed a commitment from four-star defensive lineman Tyler Alexander for the 2027 recruiting cycle.
The commitment was announced per On3's Hayes Fawcett, giving the Longhorns 17 commitments for the cycle.
Alexander is the second defensive lineman to pledge to the Longhorns, joining four-star Kasi Currie.
This addition strengthens the Longhorns' defensive line, with Alexander ranked as the nation's No. 371 player and No. 40 defensive lineman by Rivals industry rankings.
The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder is also the No. 34 prospect in the state of Florida.
The Longhorns will face Texas State Bobcats on September 5, 2026, as they prepare for the upcoming season with a bolstered recruiting class.
And with this commitment, the Longhorns have beaten out top-tier programs like Georgia, Notre Dame, and Colorado for Alexander's commitment.
But the recruiting cycle is far from over, with the Longhorns looking to add more talent to their roster.
So the focus will shift to the next targets, as the Longhorns aim to build a strong team for the upcoming season.
The Longhorns' recruiting class is shaping up to be impressive, with four-star edges Jabarrius Garror, Cameron Hall, and Derwin Fields already committed.
As the season approaches, the Longhorns will look to utilize their new recruits to make a strong push in the SEC.
With their next game against Texas State Bobcats on 2026-09-05, the Longhorns will be looking to make a statement.
The commitment of Tyler Alexander is a significant boost to the Longhorns' recruiting class, and they will be looking to build on this momentum.
