Texas Football: 4-Star S Warren Roberson set to announce Tuesday
The most realistic remaining target for the 2023 Texas football recruiting class to add in the final signing period of this cycle is the touted four-star TCU Horned Frogs commit and Red Oak (TX) defensive back Warren Roberson. The 6-foot and 180-pound safety was originally expected to announce his signing decision last week during a Red Oak signing day ceremony.
Yet, inclement weather in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (due to an ice storm that lastest a few days) wound up causing closures in Red Oak Independent School District. Thus, the in-person signing ceremony at Red Oak High School wound up getting pushed back multiple days.
It now looks like we could have a signing date, though, for the blue-chip Red Oak defensive back early this week. A report from CJ Vogel of TFB Texas on Feb. 6 (donor content) notes that Roberson is expected to announce his signing decision on Feb. 7.
A report from Mike Roach of Horns247 on Feb. 6 also echoes the sentiment that Roberson to expected to announce on Feb. 7.

These two reports are enough to indicate that Texas likely won’t have to wait much longer to figure out the ultimate college destination for Roberson.
He will be deciding between Texas, TCU, and the USC Trojans when he announces this week. Roberson took a late-cycle official visit to Texas on the weekend of Jan. 16, which helped the Longhorns make a big move in this recruitment ahead of the late signing period.
Roberson also made an unofficial trip to USC a few weeks ago. That was Roberson’s second visit to LA to see the Trojans since last summer. USC has continued to stay in communication with Roberson through the start of the late signing period last week.
TCU is also making a big late push to try and retain Roberson’s commitment and ultimately get him to sign with their 2023 class.
Roberson was committed to TCU since late October 2022. But he was the only high school recruit committed to TCU’s 2023 class that didn’t sign on the dotted line during the Early Signing Period in December.
Moreover, Roberson is one of the two outstanding priority recruits that Texas is still awaiting decisions from in the 2023 class. The other is the elite five-star Pinnacle (AZ) tight end Duce Robinson.

Texas currently holds commitments from 24 high school recruits in the 2023 class. All of the two-dozen recruits committed to the Longhorns 2023 class signed on the dotted line during the Early Signing Period a couple of months ago.
