Texas Football: Breaking down 3 biggest visiting recruits this weekend
Kobe Black, CB
I would say the most important recruit visiting Texas this weekend unofficially is the elite five-star Waco (TX) Connally cornerback Kobe Black. This is huge for Joseph and the Longhorns to get Black back to Austin for an unofficial trip before the time arrives for him to make the official visit next month (specifically starting on June 23).
Texas already hosted Black once on a successful unofficial trip to Austin for the first Junior Day of the offseason on Jan. 21. This weekend will give Joseph and the Longhorns the opportunity to make a big move in this recruitment before Black gets his official trips underway next month.

In the last few weeks, Texas has already looked the part of the top school in this recruitment. Texas holds a lot of the momentum in this recruitment, even garnering some forecasts in its favor for Black heading into the summer.
Texas could take an even bigger lead in this recruitment with a successful unofficial trip this weekend.
After this weekend, Black will have visited Texas more times than any other school in 2023, which is obviously a positive sign of where the Longhorns stand with the elite in-state cornerback.

Along with getting him to campus for this unofficial visit this weekend, another factor that gives Texas an advantage in this recruitment is the fact that his late June OV to Austin could be the final one he takes during the summer. Getting the final word in this recruitment among the summer official visits for Black could be huge for Texas.
