The other position for the Longhorns in the 2021 class that holds multiple blue chip commitments is at outside linebacker. And the latest commit at outside linebacker for the Longhorns (also the higher rated of the two signees at the position) is the 6-foot-2 and 210 pound Shadow Creek product Terrence Cooks.
This potent in-state linebacker product committed to Texas over offers from nearly three dozen other schools. The other highlighting schools on his offer sheet included Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon Ducks, Stanford Cardinal, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and USC Trojans.
Moreover, Cooks ranks as the nation’s No. 306 2021 high school prospect, No. 18 outside linebacker, and No. 46 prospect out of Texas (247Sports Composite).
The other blue chip outside linebacker commit in the Longhorns 2021 class, that also signed on the first day of the Early Signing Period, is the four-star Arlington-Martin product Morice Blackwell. The first linebacker commit in the Longhorns 2021 class had a hotly contested recruitment that came down to a few in-state competing schools.
Blackwell committed to Texas over offers from more than a dozen other schools. The other highlighting schools on his offer sheet included Alabama, Arkansas Razorbacks, Georgia, Houston, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech.
Moreover, Blackwell ranks as the nation’s No. 344 2021 high school prospect, No. 24 outside linebacker, and No. 50 prospect out of Texas (247Sports Composite).
