Texas Football: 5 Longhorns thoughts post-Junior Day 2019
1. Two key commits added for Junior Day
The fortunes for the 2020 Texas football recruiting class definitely skyrocketed during Junior Day, as it added two pledge over the weekend. Texas definitely took the momentum it had from National Signing Day 2019, finishing with the third ranked recruiting class in the nation, and turned it into something for the 2020 prospects.
The first of the two commits came from four-star St. Louis, MO, athlete Mookie Cooper who might be the most elusive skill position player for this recruiting cycle. At 5-foot-7 and 165 pounds, Cooper is one of the smaller recruits for the 2020 cycle but he is one of the most explosive and gives Herman someone who can make an instant impact off the line of scrimmage come the 2020 season.
And, the second commit for Junior Day came from four-star Port-Neches Groves offensive tackle Jaylen Garth. There is only one offensive lineman rated higher in this 2020 recruiting class for the Horns over Garth, and he is the best at his position overall. The offensive line depth is building very nicely for Hand for the 2020 class.
