Four-star Arizona native tight end Brayden Liebrock is one of the most impactful 2019 commits for the Horns due to the recent injection of talent at his position group. Liebrock looks to be more of a threat in the passing game than any other tight end that Texas has on the roster for 2018 at least.

Texas now has senior Andrew Beck, sophomore Cade Brewer, and freshman Malcolm Epps to highlight the depth and talent at tight end entering the 2018 campaign. Beck is more of a blocking tight end while Brewer and Epps should be potent in the passing game. Liebrock’s development in that regard is the main thing to watch to see how much he can contribute come next season.

Liebrock suits up for one of the absolute best high school football programs in the state of Arizona in Chandler. His program held a top 10 ranking in the state entering the 2018 season. Yet, Chandler started off its season on the wrong foot with a double-digit loss at the hands of Corona High School out of California.

Fellow Texas tight end commit, three-star Temple, TX, native Jared Wiley, makes for a 2019 class at the position that will add a ton of depth for the Horns. Considering all the depth that the Horns added through the 2018 recuriting class at defensive back, having the same impact on the offensive side of the ball will help out a lot.
