Texas Football: 3 biggest Brandon Harris recruiting targets

The most highly touted 2022 prospect on this list is also the one that Harris and Drayton should be prioritizing above all else for that cycle. This talented four-star Klein Cain running back product Jaydon Blue is also the highest rated at the position that the Longhorns have offered for the 2022 cycle to date.

Texas is really going to have to battle it out to win over the final interests of Blue over competing blue bloods and big-time programs from the Big 12 and SEC. Blue now holds nearly 30 schools on his ever-increasingly impressive offer sheet. The highlighting schools on his offer sheet includes the Auburn Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M Aggies, LSU Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Florida Gators, Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, and Penn State Nittany Lions.

It appears that Blue is already dwindling his decision down to the likes of the top SEC and Big 12 programs in pursuit of him. The top programs to watch competing with the Longhorns should be LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Georgia, and Oklahoma. Harris is going to have to battle specifically with the likes of OU running backs coach DeMarco Murray and LSU running backs coach Kevin Faulk.

Texas has all sorts of momentum to land a blue chip four-star running back like Blue that hails from inside this state. He ranks as the nation’s No. 61 2022 high school prospect, No. 4 running back, and No. 11 prospect out of Texas (247Sports Composite). And the 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions are leaning to Texas landing his commitment over the rest of the field.
