Texas Longhorns Land Top Defensive Players

Texas Longhorns have landed three defensive players, including 4-star edge rusher Jabarrius Garror and 4-star recruit Kasi Currie.

What happened?

The Longhorns secured commitments from Garror, Currie, and Jason Johnson, a top-60 prospect in Texas.

Garror, ranked No. 4 in his state, chose Texas over Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan.

Why it matters for Texas Longhorns

These commitments strengthen the Longhorns' 2027 recruiting class, now ranked No. 5 in the nation.

Currie, a 6-foot-4, 315-pound recruit, could project as an offensive lineman.

What comes next?

The Longhorns will face Texas State Bobcats on 2026-09-05.

Johnson, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive lineman, projects to play on the inside.

Garror won Alabama's Class 5A lineman of the year for the second season in a row.

He racked up 32.5 tackles for loss and 21 sacks, per 247Sports.

Twice he's been named a MaxPreps All-American.

The 21 commits consist of two five stars, nine four stars, and 10 three stars.

More top prospects are expected to make their decisions in the coming weeks.

And with these new commitments, the Longhorns' recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best.

But the team still has work to do to secure more top talent.

So the Longhorns will continue to recruit and build their team for the upcoming season.

Garror's commitment is a significant win for Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns.

Currie's versatility will be an asset to the team.

Johnson's size and strength will make him a formidable opponent on the field.

The Longhorns' recruiting class is looking strong, with a mix of defensive and offensive talent.

And with their next game against Texas State Bobcats on 2026-09-05, the team is gearing up for a competitive season.
