Texas Football: 3 2020 5-Star prospects Longhorns missed on

The biggest wide receiver miss in the Longhorns 2020 recruiting class was without a doubt the five-star Tomball High School product and the 6-foot-3 and 185 pound Demond Demas. This Tomball, TX, native was the top realistic wide receiver target in the 2020 class, but Texas missed out on him in the end to their biggest in-state rival on the trail.

Head coach Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies landed and signed Demas over offers from a whopping 56 other schools. It’s incredibly rare to find any high school prospect from any recruiting cycle that will hold offers from just under half of the FBS programs in the entire country. But Demas pulled off that feat.

Demas committed to Texas A&M over offers from the Longhorns, Oklahoma Sooners, Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Clemson Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State Buckeyes, Tennessee Volunteers, and USC Trojans. Pretty much every college football blue blood program jumped in on the recruitment of Demas.

The final 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions for Demas actually had the Longhorns and Aggies tied in the odds from their experts to land his commitment. Texas A&M ultimately nabbed the nation’s No. 25 2021 high school prospect, No. 3 wide receiver, No. 4 prospect out of Texas, and the No. 478 recruit of all-time (247Sports Composite).
