Texas Football: 3 elite 5-Star recruits coming to the forefront in May
Jalen Hale, WR
A rather new prioritized prospect for the Longhorns 2023 class heading into the summer months of this offseason is the 6-foot-2 and 175 pound Longview wide receiver Jalen Hale. Texas was one of the schools in the middle of the pack in terms of when they sent their scholarship offer the way of Hale.
It was back on Dec. 22, 2020, that the Longhorns offered Hale. The Longview, TX, native is one of the top wide receivers in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Just like they should with Manning, Texas needs to do everything they can to try and keep the Texas native in-state.
Texas is now one of nearly 30 schools on the lengthy offer sheet for Hale. Some of the other notable schools on his offer sheet include the Arkansas Razorbacks, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia, LSU, Miami Hurricanes, Notre Dame, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas A&M Aggies, and USC.
Moreover, Hale ranks as the nation’s No. 12 2023 high school prospect, No. 2 wide receiver, and No. 2 prospect out of Texas (247Sports Composite). And the Top247 ranks him as the nation’s No. 24 high school prospect, No. 2 wide receiver, and No. 2 prospect out of Texas.
Last season with Longview High School, Hale registered 39 catches for 699 receiving yards, and 10 touchdown catches. He should be even better for Longview during the 2021 high school football season.
